Here are some more fantastic pictures from Stephen Mee.
The first picture was taken in 99. The car was not fully finished hence no flashing on the rear quarters. It was also too low at the front, as I had put TE lower control arms in which I had and not the TX ones. TE looks like this _ and TX --. all fixed now. A lowering tip for those with TX's and TC's. Replace the lower control arms only with TE model on arms and it lowers the car. Springs are standard height still. Go lower with TX lowered springs and TE lower control arms.
The second image was taken at last years Nat Capo rally in Canberra. It was my first real serious go in 12 months, what with injuries and all. I have had the photo enlarged, and it now sits on my wall at home. It still has the 2000 Summernats sticker inside the front windscreen. was running 3rd in the slalom motorkhana behind the Mini winner and Corolla, but was not awarded a prize cause I was deemed a competition car. Some pussy in a WRX got it. Pissed me off no end, so I did not go this year.
Number 3, I did this event in the middle of 2000 whilst recovering from a snapped Achilles tendon. I had an off prior to this stage and dented the left front guard and door. This was caused by getting my brace stuck in the pedals. If you look carefully you can see it. The indicator lens is broken and the guard was a right off. I had creased it in along the edge so it was not worth fixing. It was hit the fence or hit the cows in the paddock.....
And finally. My wife was driving the car at this point. I won't get in it with her when she is driving. She had a friend navigate, and I took photos of all the entrants at this corner. |
