brocky41 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Great car dude - we used to run a Laser Sport (same car basically) at the Hawkes Bay Car Club - was great, we had a side exit pipe with just one coby hotdog muffler and it would scream to nearly 8 grand. Good little handler too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIZZO Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hey mate don't mean to burst your bubble but you will fail scruitineering with that battery box, I went through the same debarcle when I moved my batter to the boot of the starlet. Unless the batter is a fully sealed race battery (even by sealed red top ultima is not) then it has to be in a sealed container vented to outside the car (and secured with at least 4x M6 Iso 8.8 high tensile bolts) those black battery boxes are not sealed and vent within the cars cabin. I used a small clear sealed briscoes storage container with a piece of rubber fuel hose running from the box and out a hole in the floor. I tried arguing with the MSNZ technical officers over the fact an optima is sealed but they wouldn't wear it, has to be completely dry cell to avoid it.

bigfoot Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I have 2 doors and a tail gate you can have for this if you can find a way of getting them. A bit rusty but probably usable for a rally car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
