The TRD Hilux was certainly a drawn out issue (and i thought this was getting that way) but i will admit all posters made strong points. Being abrupt is not the best way of getting points across but it doesn’t necessarily mean the person is wrong in what they are saying while Dingo was certainly not alone in being rather forceful in the Hilux article. I believe each and every poster were as bad as each other so i wouldn’t be over critical towards him.

In summary, i believe some posters have taken a dislike to the character because he is rather straight to the issue without bashing about the bush – i can respect that is some people. And don’t say i am Dingo because i have nothing to do with the Mines (or Rio Tinto for that matter) but admittedly, i don’t mind Toyota myself though.

You will find all the information you need under wikipedia

The model raced was the 2.6 (straight 6) R32 by Gibbs (Fred) Racing and received 2 x weight penalties of 100kg each in 1991 and a turbo pop off valve in 1992. You will also learn that the Sierra was infact eventually restricted to a single turbo instead of it’s original 2.

Oh yeah, go to http://www.awesometickets.net (v8 supercars) and under the history banner it states that the turbocharged RS500 Ford Sierra’s and Nissan GTR Skylines were banned under the new laws put in place.

If you want more answers go to Answers.com v8 supercars and the same is mentioned aswell but furthers on a bit more by stating that the 5.0 V8 M3 BMW’s were permitted to compete against the Ozzie locals but the German manufacture decided to withdraw because they didn’t recieve the same concessions that Holden and Ford did.

see… isn’t it great the information one can teach themselves by just conducting a few minutes time of research on a particular topic. But haa – i guess you need not to bother because you have have extensive knowledge …right !

Cheers

My Knowledge of the era you are talking about is extensive – thats why I find your BS unacceptable.

I have the knowledge, don’t need any further research, thanks. Again thats why I realise that you are sprouting BS.

My age is irrelevant, my knowledge and understanding is.
But anyway early-mid 40’s, but not old enough to be a baby-boomer! And my understanding is in no way limited – I just don’t have some hidden agenda.

For someone who is supposedly interested in Motorsport, i find it somewhat bizzare that you exhibit no knowledge about the actual and factual occurances associated with the Ford Cosworth Sierra and Nissan’s GTR Godillza during that particualr era of Australia Motorsport.

Before we travel any further with this discussion, don’t you dare come back at me until you take the time and effort and conduct some discovering (research) for yourself and then – and only then – you will relise i am not full of BS afterall.

I will await your reply.

ps – what is your age exactly because that might hold the clue why you exhibit limited understanding about the events we are discussing.
