Other ....2003 Corolla Sportivo, 1978 Honda civic x2, 1976 Volkswagen Kombi severly modified


Sportivo is the least modified out of all my cars. One of the Honda civics has had about $18k poured into it with some major engine mods, suspension, body and wheels. The Kombi is prolly the most fun to drive as it is the "big " surprise package that will do 200km/hr and has scared nearly every person who has sat in the passenger seat By the way it's only 130mm off the ground at the lowest point so it does go round corners very well. Currently undergoing more engine mods and can't wait to get the big brake conversion under it for a trip over Nebo....

and when do the trip over Nebo have some cold drinks for me on the other side as you get a serious sweat throwing the "block of flats" around

Bourne Boy... your Honda Civic rally car. Who did you buy it off? Or did you build it yourself? Reason I ask is that my family(father,brother and myself) have helped build a few Civic's for rally especially when it comes to the power dept. Ferris Lee and Adrian Bukmanis are 2 of the cars that we have done engines for(Adrian's car now sold) and Ferris Lee's Civic has currently got 98hp at the wheels from the original 1200cc motor.There's nothing we don't know about them so if you need some tech info drop me a line

The civic is sold and gone to Mark Modejegon... and name you should know... and i bought it off a bloke down south, but the car was originally built by Arthur Jackson...

Do you know Tim Collingwood, i beleive he helped build Bucky's car aswell, and during the time i had the civic, he maintained and worked on it for me...

And don't try and tell me ferris' car still has the original 1200cc crank!

Not now It's got a 1500 crank in it and from memory(he's just done an engine overhaul so not sure of exact specs) it's capacity is now about 1440cc or something like that. But man it's a quick bit of gear with the close ratio box and lsd!!!!

My old mate Mark the collector!!!! Actually have to go and see him in the next week or so to pick up a rear hatch for one of my cars. See you around

1500cc so the rumors were tru!!!

Except that now he's given up gravel rallying! oh, well, at least i got to buy all his new yokohama rally tyres cheap!

and yes, mark is a nut... he's putting in all the good bits from his civic rally cars (ie, the proflex etc.), into the car he bought off me cause it had a VERY well prepared shell, especially now that he has his own full time rally mechanic!

should i even ask why?

... and no, they're 13's... but if you're chasing some cheap second hand rally rubber in 14 or 15 its not a problem finding any!

and when i said cheap, they were still $120 each... new is about $170....

1. you can't use rally tyres on autocross or khanacross events at willowbank... if you want to run rally tyres in a club level event, you've got to head to murgon, and in which case, you'll need a proper rally car...

2. if you're doing those kind of events, you want race compound retreads, basically, racing compounds, but with a more open tread pattern for the dirt than race tyres traditionally come with... $80 to $100 new, but myself and nate have 4 spare brand new 14" ones that we would happely sell to cover this weekends rally sprint entry fee... $300 the lot...

3. if you do want proper second hand rally tyres you'd be looking more at the $50 per tyre mark... any more and you're getting ripped off, but be aware, they will be very second hand...
