Rod- +1
He did mention that the problem only happened when it was a shared drive, can't remember who the other driver was, but reckon you would know.

The Rod Collingwood coupe is owned by Ian Maskell who has had it for about 25 years and has raced in SS2000,classics etc;
There are some photos earlier in this thread, the old beauty (the coupe not Maskell) has just had a freshen up and will be out there again soon.
Funny you should mention 5 speed toyota box. We do run these gearboxes in some of these cars mainly because they take the pounding better than the original stuff. We don't feel there is any advantage by running a 5speed t50. The ratios are actually very similar to the ford box. John and the technical committee for the revival, fitted that into the revised rules and regs that we now use.Quote:

also jay, there was a honda civic that ran in shellsport, I think it ran rexona sponsorship, with possibly a female driver, it was on trademe for sale a few years ago, it had alot of factory gear in it.
Rod.
Don't know about those cars fella but I know there is an early civic being built for paul goodman (Elevate Bar)here in christchurch. This may be the old civic from back then. Hopefully it will nearing completion before the end of this season.
Not actually a Shellsport car, I grabbed this photo from the SCCA Trans-Am Facebook page. But a cool looking car, and the similarities between this and the cars contesting the Shellsport series are clear to see.
Pretty cool tow rig too!

There was a Datsun 210 Coupe for sale a while back on TM, even with its set back engine etc look good in RED/White & Blue and $9000.
Was a good place to start.
There are a few of these B and C Sedans for sale over in the States....food for thought.
yes the yellow one I bought from Roy in 2004, it has been rebuilt as it last ran, same every thing, had to upgrade cage, seat and harness, but that's all.Quote:

Here is a photo of the Paul Fahey FVA Escort on the trailer after getting damage to the right front area, at Baypark.
Can someone please fill in what happened and when.
Thanks.

Baypark at an early outing pre December 1969.
the diff LSD wasnt set up properly and it steered itself into the wooden fence.
No driver error from Paul Fahey.
Thanks John
Great angle, but it's a surprise you didn't get chased out of there pretty smartly. Were you wearing army camouflage ? :cool:
I can recall that for a few years there were some big tractor tyres on the outside of the track that I could hide behind, but it was always a bit dodgey, so I never stayed too long. Although I don't recall anyone going off at that point - usually before the apex into the earth bank or after the corner on to the inside of the track after spinning. Great spot for a different shot though and not possible today I guess.

Can someone name the saloon cars and drivers here. There are some great machines in there.
Well the top one is evidently Cook (in a Datsun before it was a Nissan) and Halliday with Roy Harrington hanging the rear off, and they are also the back 3 in the second pic. From (admittedly-tortured) memory the #77 Fountain Escort is Bryce Platt.
