No photos from Day 1 because on the second stage the clutch fork became detached from the bell housing - something I fixed 2 years ago and the mechanic decided to unfix when he rebuilt the box before the event. So it was box out and back in afternoon of day 1.

This is Carrickalinga, a really fast stage. We are at about 200kph.

I didn't pick any of the day 4 photos. We ended up down the field after scoring 3 hours of late time on Day 1, but apart from that it was a blast as usual.

Nice pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That hood looks like it fits very nice. Where did you happen to get that from?

Moulded it off the original. The wheels are 15 x 7 Superlites with 205 x 50 tyres. Dunlop D03G full soft. They are not good on the track because they melt after 2 laps, but work well on tarmac rallies.

Did you need to do any work to get them to fit (the rims/tires that is...)?

No, but with the Dunlops (210 mm tread width) they rub on the inside just a touch, but not enough to worry about. The rear lips are rolled. I had them made with 25mm positive offset which gives a back spacing of about 125 mm. That part is a bit easier down here where they are made, but I think its a pretty standard fitment. Funny how this thread takes off a year later.

I was in Burnie in February, the day before the start of the Tasmanian Rally. I couldn't stay but did see a few of the cars. Have you ever run that?

No, but I have done Targa Tas a couple of times and the northern part of the course is the same as used in Rally Tas. What on earth possessed you to visit Burnie? At lease the weather is better in February. Most of the year its a windswept cold hole.

I was captive on a three week cruise and Burnie was one of the stops. We started in Auckland and finished in Sydney. Very enjoyable.
