2GO Rally Results

Well were back from a very Sucessfull 2GO state rally the 2 Toymods Teams that were there Myself and John in the RV corolla had a very mixed event.
We started the morning seeded at car 54 but finished the event a very respectable 28th and 4th in class, with the others in my class finishing 27th and 26th outright, so nearly a podium for me.
We had a few steering problems as on the first stage our steering rack devoloped a slight miss, i either managed to break a few teeth, or broke a rack end, as we hit a rather large bumb at speed and put the steering off centre and a few stages later i hit another large bump and it knocked the steering straight again, until a couple of stages later it knocked of centre again until the finish. But other then that the rally went to plan, not a single off by me, and the car ran strong all day.
Bring On Canberra Rally in November.

Hi Michael
yes its defineately time to chase some more seconds, but before the engine ive got alot of suspension and brake work to come in the next 2 months (did someone say 4 spot calipers)...
The size of my current rear calipers are 230mm, if your after some really good brake fluid try some Motul RBF600, it is relatively cheap, and has a dry boiling point of 312 Deg and a wet boiling point of 216. It made the rally car stop like a charm

Yeah you fair very well ben.... better than us! Electrical problems all day... ended up second last (31st), we traced it down to a bad pickup and ignititor in the dizzy. One thing I did have on my mind was just to finish heat 1 and come back for heat 2, but broken shock put an ended to that Idea, oh well, always next year! Hey Ben, are you going starmart or port Mac?

Any of you guys involved in rallying suggest how I learn how to be a navigator/co driver?
I officiate at a few events & have always to get involved, but unfortunately the finace have, and never will I think, allow me to be a driver.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
I'm thinking about going to NZ next year for the WRC, I think a group would be better. Anyone else interested?

have you guys thought about mounting the ignitor in a vibration resistant case? i.e. in a rubber/foam block? maybe that will reduce some of the problem?? vibration can also cause a distortion in the signal especially if mounted on a metal surface as it will induce unwanted noise on the media (wires).
|
Tell me about it... The problem with mine is that I'm running the 7AFE dizzy ie ignitor+coil+pickup are all one unit contained within the Dizzy. I'm 100% sure the Heat+vibration destory these things quite quickly (up to my second for the year now!)... simple fix, we are now running a 20V setup, so all this will be seperate now and we're doing as you said... rubber mounts.

you'll need to join a CAMS affilated club, send some cash and an application to CAMS for the Nat'rally Nav license and pass a test which you do on the net, from there, you just need a car and driver and a good stomach!
