Wasn't Mike Rowston selling a Laser for $400 recently?

Maybe I'm biased, but our X3 cost us $700 from Pickles. Needed a new radiator and a headlight, but mechanically it's great.

What did you think of the Pulsar you borrowed? Those 1.8s are pretty torquey.

yer i got my excel licenced for $500. i will keep an eye out for you through work if you like, were always trading in some cheap cars.....

We have two eyes now! Look out!

And Green? Our car is clearly blueish.

yer well seeing as the next event is only two weeks away now it looks like i may have to miss yet another event much to my disgust...i dont think we would be able to get a new car in this time... would really like to do the event but you know these things happen. but we shall see what occurs in the next week or two.

probably not ... maybe i should borrow someones car whom i would have no chance of beating...maybe that would work

haha hey raz, have you biffed the mazda again? or still bit dented from the rol? What you wanting for it? i might be keen soon ay, looking at gettin into the clubman rally side of things.

Get in line buddy, I called dibs first!

hey guys i am gettin a couple of sets of 14" secound handies, email me and i will hook u up with some tyres or people who have some... gmcintyre@westnet.com.au

if i had the money raz i would definatly be willing to go for a sharing type thing but...aint got no job and im doing school at the moment so big money is hard to come buy...yer glen i would be interested in some tyres i cant find no 14s so ill give you a email

as i take it you must be daymon nicoli?

i was at boddington watchin the motorkhana earlier in the year...and im pretty sure your dad would no of my grandmother

yeah bormsa have events all the time.its just we are owner building at the moment so perants are very busy. i am doing the lcc motorkhana on the 22nd of june and hope to do a bormsa one later in the year but i will be able to do khanacrosses after october when i turn 14 so i will do most of the bormsa events next year. and aarin who is your grandmother and whats your surname.

thats who i thought you mite of been but just wasnt 100%.I aslo know your grandmother as stuart navagates for my uncle leigh hynes.

hey Aarin i reckon go with a N13 pulsarQ or a N14 Pulsar(Q) mines been great to considering the way i drive (after watching you drive last event was a real help seeing that my car driven a bit more sparingly and with a bit more thought could get a half decent placing, which i cottoned on to half way through the event Cheers Aarin) although an N13 Q with the viscous coupling lsd would be great they do wear out rather quickly and make a bit of noise ( not that i'de give two hoots) but they work great while their in tact.
Another suggestion would be an AE82 or AE92 corolla with the 1600 twin cam 4a-g motor or yet another suggestion would be a early st celica with the 2l twin cam or mark2 charade turbo GTI or GTT ( cant remember?) or even 1300 suzuki swift gti.
The possibilities are endless, i often see in the quokka early model saab 9 5 turbos for under a grand and wonder how they would go?

Ps. all the suggestions made above have been made to try and make sure the "Light Car Club. WA" does'nt become the "Hyundai Car Club. WA" hehehehe.

Side draught weber - this isn't 1970 any more. :)

Unless you're a carb tuning guru, you'll get more reliable power out of even a basic fuel injected setup. It'll take less maintenance and fiddling, and probably give you a broader spread of power.

If you want to fiddle with something, build your own EFI computer - google 'megasquirt'.

Obviously the Hyundai isn't the best car in the world - the important thing is to get the weight out of whatever you get and drive it really hard. I'm sure Tim Ralli's Coupe would be much faster if he was willing to strip it, but luckily for us he drives it to work, that's probably not the best option.

But yeah - Andrew's Civic scares me. I think our X3 will have to go on a diet in preparation.

Mate I'm more than willing to let you borrow my car until you get a new one i know how hard it is trying to decide and you are by no means over staying your welcome.
i can also suggest putting a ad in the quokka in the "cars $2000 or less" and "performance" for a car suitable for khanacross for under $1500 thats how i ended up with my car, it's probably the best thing i had done after a couple of months of looking without avail, considering i had about four calls before 8am on thursday morning offering the same thing.

Cheer Ben

What kind of diet are you thinking about for the X3? I was sort of waiting to see the trademark wobbly bonnet on the new one, but I see that you didn't get there yet :-)

There was a strange grin on Andrew's face on Sunday, I reckon I'll have to put that boost controller back on the Mazda or I may eat some dust from his Honda!

Aarin, I reckon you should check out the auctions.

Something like this would be ok.

http://www.pickles.com.au/damaged/vehicle/CP-05-92-Toyota-Paseo-EL44-Oly...

It's not super quick, but it's reasonably small and light. 1.5l, twin cam.

That would go for under a grand, and wouldn't take much to get looking fairly straight. Lots of other option on the site though.

As for the diet - we haven't even cleaned the car properly yet, so we'll have to pull our fingers out if it's going to lose any meaningful weight.

well my pulsar Q is well into khanacross prep.

there is pretty much nothing left interior wise.

and all i need to do mechanically is get the head fixed.

having a bit of trouble getting rid of the sound proofing from on the floor... any quiker options than a hammer and a chisel ?

ok will try the dry ice...

you should see my pulsar up there at one of the last 2 khanacross's.

just got to get the head looked at... it should be going out to shane eathers soon
