The Brumbyrunner Project

[brumbyrunner]

Well after much delay, here is the build-up thread for my class 8 offroad racecar.
Although it looks like my long term registered Brumby it is actually a clone that I bought off a mate as I couldn't bring myself to cut up my good one.
It is a bog stock '92 model with aircon, genuine 13" white rims, alloy bullbar and 250,000kms on the clock.





To comply with CAMS and compete in the AORC it needs a certified welded rollcage, 5 point harnesses, UHF & some safety stuff. Thats all. Everything else I do to it is voluntary.

For those who don't know the off-road racing class structure, classes 7 & 8 are for 4WD vehicles up to 6 litre engine capacity. Class 7 is for stock 4WDs and class 8 is for modified ones. In the CAMS manual, the limit to class 7 modifications take up 2 pages. For class 8 it's just under half a page.

I especially like this phrase-:
"The original shape of the body must be from a series production four-wheel drive automobile..."
Thats about the only restriction to class 8.

So now I have to strip it and send it off to have the cage put in.

why are you using it as a class 8?
the things ive seen for class 8 are like crusers with 350 chevs and hiluxs with worked 5L commie v8s in em i couldnt see a brumby seriously competing with something like that. i would have thought class 7 would have been better??? or are there some serious mods planed?

I thought the project had proceeded a little bit further than the pics

So it has, but I thought I would start at the beginning so it all makes sense.

Saw a 7mp kodak on telly just then for $200, that's only 10 of us!!!!

You'd think with all our technological advances they could put a decent camera in my phone!
You wil be pleased to know that the rest of my photos are of a decent quality.

They are so easy to move around on your own too. And you dont need a very solid rotisserie...
