Historic Sports Sedans

[profi]

Whats the car bender? has it been attacked or is it eligible to run in group C?

[Bender]

It's a Rx3

I had to weld in a tunnel back in and it is in very good condition. I have owned it since 92 and it never hit the track back then. I race another car.

I would drive in Group C but I only have a 13b PP for it at the moment and don't have plans to spend $$$$ on a 12a bridge port.
Don't get me wrong but driving with 280 at the wheel compared to 180. ;)

Thats a light car then mate. 800kg is the min for a 13B for memory.

[Bender]

Yes, it weighs but that in full trim

[profi]

That weight is including the driver

put some wings, big slicks ect on that will get your weight up

I went to a Histric meeting at Mallala on the weekend and there was a guy there who has just got a "Historic Registration" for his FJ Sports Sedan, has a Mid mount holden 6 with Triple Webbers... didnt look to bad

There must be a heap of these old cars around... I recall going to Adelaide International Raceway when I was a kid and seeing at least a dozen Ford Anglia's with all sorts of motors in them... surely they didnt all get chopped up and thrown away!?

There were quite a few FX / FJ Sports Sedans back in the day. The FJ of Tony Ross was probably the most successfull of them. He would feature in the results in the Championship rounds. Sponsored by a pie company at one stage I think. Assume most of them would have not survived.

Funny you say that...

Unfortunatley it wont be finished this year but will be getting closer to completion B)

Is it the same FJ as John Burke's or were they different?. It was Burke's that was sponsored by "Aussie Pies".
