My ute has had the brake conversion since 2006... the engine conversion went in start of 2012. It was hard to see the EA81 come out.littlewhiteute wrote:5 studs give it away in the front.
I want to know what you have done to the rear end, since by your pics, the rear has zero rear camber.
The rear end is just unwound completely so it rests on the bump stops.
I don't drive it much as I have a car with a/c thats much less temptation to speed so the brumby is going to be mostly for the track
P.S sorry for the late reply
Cheers Chris
Is that rear spoiler mounted properly or is it just photoshopped ?
I have one almost exactly the same that I may be putting on mine too, but it will be mounted a lot lower. Although everyone thinks it is too ricer and I shouldn't bother. Yours looks quite good though so I will have to see. I do have a GC8 STi rear spoiler to go on too,which in 25:1 scale on my model looks even better than the Carbon Fibre one.
Whats the front spoiler from ?
Looks pretty good all round - well done.

The rear wing was just placed there (if you look closely you can see the floor board resting across the back of the ute to sit the wing on).niterida wrote:Is that rear spoiler mounted properly or is it just photoshopped ?

After having it on the track (Qld Raceway) it was very tail happy coming into corners so some sort of rear aero might help.....but I will not use one on the street
The front spoiler was made for the brumby back in the 80's by "Kamei". I think I bought one of the last in exsistance that had been stored for years.

I'd be trying my hardest to make a mould of that front spoiler. Once you've damaged it you'll find it hard to make it the same, by then it's too late to make a mould.chridk wrote:The front spoiler was made for the brumby back in the 80's by "Kamei".

And since they're not made anymore it'd be in-valuable to have a mould ready to make a new one (or more).
It's a sweet setup that I wouldn't mind doing one day... If I could ever find the time, funds and shed space!

Went last night and was very disappointed to see only a handfull of Jap cars there. There was only 2 guys show up for the Burnout Comp, but still fun to watch

Had a great night, all though the lighting wasn't the best.mr_sp33 wrote:How did it go?
I've never heard of a night time sprint meet!
It was the very first time a sprint meet was held at night and it worked well, no crashes & only one car had to be towed back to the pits.
Could hear the wednesday Test & Tune running at the drags.
We only ran on the clubman track and the bumby's best time was a 66.4 I think, you can look it up on "nat soft" I was number 21.
I'll pull better times when I get some semi slicks under the Grumpy.
