Gday fellas long time no post on JustCommodores, since spent a bit of money and time on Suzuki Sierras (GRPABT1 are you out there???) and GU patrols and a few motorbikes.
Because I cant see myself competing with my RGV250 every month the interest has renewed in 4 wheel motorsports that isnt 4x4ing, I have been tossing up for a long time now about getting into entry level track or motorkhana at Hidden Valley. I'd like to do it in a commodore because they go for affordable prices and parts are everywhere, I also prefer rear wheel drive to front wheel drive (otherwise I'd just buy a FWD corolla or an Excel). RWD corollas and Datsun/Nissans, or BMWs are too expensive for what you get.
Can the commodores compete?
What mods have you done?
Are they too big?
Are the brakes and handling acceptable?
The car I buy doesnt even have to be road worthy as I have access to a trailer, a place to keep the sucker and my GU to tow it with. My thoughts are to buy a cheap unroadworthy 6 cylinder manual commodore. Can I make an early model out handle my VE?
Cheers.
Mark.
