@ the ute

SL65 · February 2nd, 2006, 09:06 AM

@ the ol' banger Jag.

Gee Winton looks dry. I'm used to seeing it looking like a canal when the V8's went there.

Rinmax · February 2nd, 2006, 09:06 AM

love that ute even got the custom brake ducts. hehe

and that Jag is suprisingly quick for its size.

bone · February 2nd, 2006, 09:17 AM

what's an ute?

and what are these, they look cool!

Rinmax · February 2nd, 2006, 09:32 AM

The ute is the last picture on the list (the orange one), its an Australian term for a utility kind of a small version of an American pick-up. The ute in this pic is a early 1980's Ford XD Falcon version. The one in the pick was running a 351ci or 5.8litre V8, but unfortunatly was a automatic. As for the others the yellow and black car with Grumpy Racing on the side, thats my friends car its a KE35 Corolla coupe with a 2TG 1600cc Twin Cam engine and 5 spd gearbox. The green car is similar but is a KE30 Corolla, but this one has had its 1600 engine replaced with a racing 2ltr verison and has been fully prepared into a sports sedan. Hope that clears it up.

flyingfridge · February 2nd, 2006, 05:44 PM

looks like such an awesome day, winton is a great track. I'd love to go and drive it someday!

Rinmax · February 3rd, 2006, 07:17 AM

to get on the track on this day costs $20 and you need a good helmet thats it for as many laps as you could fit in

fbc · February 3rd, 2006, 07:22 AM

^ That's my problem - I can't fit in my car with a helmet on images/smilies/sad.gif

Rinmax · February 3rd, 2006, 07:35 AM

damn, there have been cool corollas, you don't have those over here images/smilies/sad.gif

Rinmax · February 3rd, 2006, 08:03 AM

Yep and the best bit is they were made back in the day when RWD ruled, like it should.

Nope, it's a local car, not a grey import - though in hindsight I should've got one without the sunroof - then I might just have fitted with a helmet

It's a pity you AW11 would be perfect around that track.

Believe me, I know images/smilies/sad.gif

I plan on looking at aftermarket seats (Recaro etc) to see if they could mount lower and still be adjustable.
