For National Day

 

real touring car's, should bring em back, make it worth watching again

 

Very cool cars too own

And it just shows even the pro's can't beat tie-wraps

 

You wanna kill me ???

 

Why say that ?

 

a couple from this years rs national day

 

 

Yes was great to see them in action at nat day

 

awesome cars mate. looking in top condition as usual!

just outta interest, how'd u go about finding these cars? and if u dont mind, how much are they worth?

Dunc

 

Do I spy a recirculating dump valve being used without the recirculating hose? Bet that would've surprised Tim Harvey! Great pics, what relics

 

Just so many RS500, while here I have never seen one...

 

hi martinlabbats have you heard of the driver ian gardener who raced group a white 3door i am currently in stage of getting the car running again has been lying in garage since 1994 after end of vecta touring car championships i have photos of the car will upload them soon need get it running

 

my bosses old car is there too.i work for steve soper at his bmw franchise.i bet he would love some more piccys of this car.

 

i have seen pictures of ian gardens car,

he did the old version of whot i do now which is the ford saloons,

i considered buying it to build another car for racing,

as it was basicly a shell,

but in the end decided it needed to much work and the only parts left that where group A was the rear beam, as the owner was going to rally the car so sold all the good bits off.

 

wow,
do youhave a fav? i really like them all but the texaco one is my fav,

 

Honestly, a truly remarkable collection of cars.

Was one of the highlights of any National Day for me, and I think you should be applauded for your efforts in organising such a special display.

 

a savage collection there
what are the oil cooler for under the car, gearbox, engine or diff?

 

wow you got that anz one for quite a bargain didnt you martin. top top cars i loved the old moonstone one. but 3 rs500 touring cars owned by one person takes the piss i love your cars martin.

 

on the rouse built cars there are four coolers under the cars two for engine oil, one for the diff with an electric pump and one for the gearbox,

on the eggenburger car there are two colers under the car, one for the diff again on an electric pump and then the gearbox cooler,

it when used two oil coolers one each side behind the front grilles next to the indicators.













i have ended up with a few spare lol

 

i have the car about up and running just the clutch iam having trouble sourcing bits as i have the getrag gearbox i only have the friction plate and thrust bearing there wasnt that much missing when got into the boot alot bits were just lying it was for sale on rs owners a think cheers texaco car is a legend

 

I am still just a little envious mate!! nice pics I am a bit sick that I was offshore for national day as well, would have been really awsome seeing the cars round the track!! trust me to miss that!!

If I ever needed the single nut hubs are there any places that they are still available?

 

single hub ect

are not available unless you can get them made,

the bbs wheel nuts are available at a price form bbs in germany to order.

i have a spare complete clutch and prop ect for the getrag box,

not something i want to sell but you can allways get the ap numbers off mine and order it.

 

i know the standard prop is diffrent but can the female splined end not be taken off and replaced with another flat plate end like then one that goes on the diff

yes the part number for a clutch would be great do ap still supply them as a complete kit cheers

 

Martin

one word awesome

 

martin all of them simply stunning

 

 

this is the clutch you are after

 

How many do you actualy own Martin

I would love a garage like that, at least they are saft from anyone breaking them

Maybe one day if i win the lottery mate you would consider selling 1 or 2,3,4 etc

Great day mate really enjoyed it and i met Tim Harvey myself the other day at Oulton Park, A real gent even had time to talk to me

Regards Paul

 

the cars i own are,

the labatts car
eggenburgr car
ANZ car

so three in total,

with so many cars i have amassed qiute a few spares for them aswell,


the clutch pictured lloks fine and will fit the getrag box,

i use the same one but mine has six paddle pits instead of four but that will still work fine.

i do have a new four paddle one like the pictured that i was give, and a spare complete clutch but thats another storie.
