Nice 3-wheeling action!
 
The car looks good on those Saab wheel. Any more side-on pics from the weekend?

It was at the Bendigo stock yards at Huntly which is on the Epsom side of Bendigo
 
MATT - You really need to paint the rest of that sill black on the drivers side.  It would take you all of 5 minutes!

Make it go FASTER!

Yes, I know.  If the weather is good this weekend it'll be done.
 
Cheers

Looks like a hoot, Matt.
 
Is that a Corolla wagon interloper?

Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!

Good work Matt, that power steering looks pretty inconspicuous, something for me to look into.
 
Looks like you had a ball! motorkhanas are a load of fun and pretty easy on the car.

Got the wheel issues sorted now.  I got a 2nd hand set of 175 60 R13 Advan A050's which weren't too hard to get on the 7" rims.  They don't seem to hit too which is great.
 
I have the Winton 6 Hour Relay this weekend so I'm all ready to go.
 
Few pics.

I'm so glad you got to keep those Rebels, they look spot on.

Hey Matt, 
 
love the Rebels they look great. Will be interesting to see if the 175's are enough for you though. I know I noticed quite a bit of difference in turn in between 175s and 205s on the track.
 
Extra rear grip is always handy too.

Hi Guys,
 
Yes, to say I am happy they fit is an understatement.
 
Rhys, I am just running a standard engine at the moment so rear grip or lack there of isn't much of an issue at the moment but when the race engine is finished then I may need wider tyres.  Time will tell.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt
