A little background:
Bought as a double defected, half stripped AE71, the Rolla Superleggera Turbo is a joint venture between four individuals. So far it has been stripped (more), de-exhausted, drifted, scandoed, launched, thrashed, over-revved and much much more!

More coming soon... :DD

that was the strangest smelling coke I'd ever encountered

once tim gets up videos you can see the dirtkhana-ish track we laid out for it. we wound up busting both front shocks and after driving it back on the trailer to go home found that one of the front springs had come off its perch :DD

I have a sigma built for similar duties that lives on a mates farm were we have an 8 acre track for it! raise it lock the diff and drill lca holes in the crossmember 25mm out from the originals , that sure makes it interesting

we got a place up around morgan on the murray. haven't been up there for ages though haha. good fun. last time i had the thing completely airborne at one stage and put a massive dent in the sump landing, lol. whoops. :)

haha sounds sweet! yeah need some stock springs for this thing, it's waaay too low for paddock duties.

i really want to try buying a couple of really, really cheap cars. like 100-200 dollars range. and just having a full on demolition derby. or a point to point race where contact is allowed. may the biggest idiot win.

i dident measure anything just eye balled it so its not to scale, but the idea is there

if you guys want to do a dirt circuit cage we will have to change the side intrusion and roof but the rest is the same

i still think you should buy a fixed back plastic race seat, you can pick them up for around $100

you wont be able to adjust it but will be way safer

will have to get a harness to

ill suss the tube dia we need and cost
