Sure put a few AWD's to shame

It's got about 2 degrees of camber, has pedders supercar suspension and I was running The Dunlop DZO3G hard Tarmac rally tires for the 5 days of over 600 competitve k's, In future I will have a set of mediums for the wet as we could have made a lot better time.

Ute sounded great! What sort of modifications does it have? Also, how'd you go in regards to final placing?
Keep up the good work.

We Ran 19th in modern wich we were very happy with considering about 80% of the race was wet and suited the awd turbo cars.
The ute is speced similar to the maloo as we are changing category's to showroom spec for 1st round of the championship @ targa high country and the rest of the championship. it's in the bodyworks at the moment have to maloo body kit fitted.

Yeah, was the first rally experience for both of us and were very happy to finish after various problems. Are ready to give it a redhot go this year and hopefully post a good result.
