Please explain to me how I am expected to achieve that (the getting them here, not the pulling of the finger out of my arse, as I have that pretty much covered) ?

I can't FORCE people to attend, otherwise we would have the best team in existence .

Cossiemanden has put the word out, but no-one wants the expense of coming all this way, as they say their car's are not set up for this kind of event .

No Fucking Interest

Car is beautitul though. Would be sooo scared of breaking something though.... boss the gearbox and that could cost you Ł30k

Sean was put off by transmission as well. I seem to remember that 130mph is about the limit due to the diffs that are available or something??

I may be completely wrong though

Cant fault your logic.

Plus, your driving probably isnt good enough to do it justice anyway realistically
(thats not an insult, I have no critism of your driving, just I know that you have expressed that opinion yourself before)


Im certainly 100% confident im not good enough to do it justice personally!

I would imagine its on a top spec xtrac box or similar mate, im not sure the skyline one would be the owners idea of an upgrade!

might not be as good for rallying but id rather have a good strong skyline box and and not have it cost me 30k when it went wrong and it would also be better top end

Those boses iirc are bloody expensive so I can see your point on the skyline box being a more sensible choice but I'm not 100% convinced that it would be as touch as the xtrac ffd stuff as it is built for the ultimate abuse.

I would of also thought its just the diff ratios that give it the short gearing too, no doubt IF they changed them then they would have a great top speed.

I can see painting it over so people know it's not Stian's anymore but that colour is just awful unless he's going to sticker it up and throw in some different colours ala Reyland Escos. Silver alone it looks cack. LOL

From my understanding it is working superbly and will be set to take on Reyland @ Gatebil Rudskogen next weekend.

I saw a short video of it running over on Gatebil.no, I'll see if I can find it and put up the link.

It's a race allready.
This be very interesting to watch if anbody's makes some decent videos.
Leifs car has the extreme power proper chassic brakes driver will be ?
he is no stian hafsengen after al.
The reyland cars will have less power but the same good handling and the reyland escort will have the bulletproof os giken gearbox i guess the same of beter handling better balance better.
Who will be quicker the gatebil escort of the reyland cars?
If i would bet any money on it would set my money on the reyland cars purly because what i said above and because the reyland crew will know their cars beter then leif will kown his new 920 hp wrc escort.
But of course i would be wrong.
