BrissyGuy Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I thought it might be interesting to see what forum members drive. Anything interesting or out of the ordinary. Past or present. This was my favourite car from the past. A 1973 GTR Torana. Owned her for over 10 years and sold her on Ebay last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_galaga Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc267/woka-woka-woka/carstuff/3.jpg :lol The ol' wanker wing! Apparently a GOOD wing on a sedan will generate about 40 kg of downforce at 200 km/h. The function is exponential to speed, so at 100 km/h (which is more like the speed you would tend to be doing) the downforce is maybe 6 or 7 kg. Put another way, about 10 litres of fuel. So to have the same pressure over the back wheels at highway speed AND be more streamlined, all you need to do is keep 10 litres more fuel in the tank than you normally do! Or a Bessa block in the boot :D I'm laughing at myself here too. I had an LJ Torana that I thought I was doing up, and it had an even more useless 'wing'. You know, those lil' tail things that you see on the XU1's and all that... :) HA! My first car was a 1968 4 door Cortina like this one. Only not as nice looking as that. $150 I paid for it (",) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By adding the STi wing you ended up with more visibility. Not that this has anything at all to do with why most people fitted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myny Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The number 37 on the side does not meet CAMS regs (i.e. not in a square block of white), I managed to get away with it for a while but heard the scrutineers for one of the hillclimbs I was entering was a bit tight on that, so she's just got a white square with the black 37 on the doors now.

blue95 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 So it's only V8 Supercars that are allowed to have proper race numbers? I thoght CAMS must have finally woken up to themselves. Anyhow here's my Falcon ute. It's an AU2 with an XR nosecone I got at the swapmeet and some Fairmont alloys. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs129.snc1/5529_1196668724986_1476532510_534236_51118_n.jpg I use it to tow my other Falcon, except at the moment it looks a lot more beat up (I had fun the last time I raced it) http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs634.snc3/31797_1433670329878_1476532510_1111276_8018166_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
