Does anyone have a photo closer up of the GroupA AE86s exhaust exit? Oh and a shot of the LCA on the Bathurst car would be excellent.
Just trying to confirm some details of my copy of the FISA A-5180
Big Volvo pace car cruising behind. Wait, thats a racing Volvo with turbo, and it's in the same race! And his lights are on - oh shit.
Maybe the best race I saw (on video) was John Bowe (Volvo like that ^) vs Peter Brock with VK or VL at Amaroo Park on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The 2 cars so different, so similar in overall pace.

I just googled FISA A-5180 and found the document myself. A very basic document, but I guess it did the job. Much more info in the TRD bible but the FISA A-5180 did show a few things not in the bible.
The TRD bible does show the exhaust in the Group A section. For "race" it would be just a flex joint and a side pipe, no muffler. Comes out the side probably just behind the centre bearing. For group-A "rally" they have a muffler, over the diff and out the back. Muffler in normal position behind axle.
do you have a link to the document? (FISA A-5180) i wouldn't mind having a read.
This may help for the LCA

the #74 "binding" car is not mine, but the other FX-GT that Bob Holden still own (red roll cage is the give-away of which car it is). it was made out of "spares" from TOM's uk stuff + a pipe of TRD stuff Bob had at the time. i'd guess at late 91 or early 1992.
car #75 is Frank Binding at Bathurst 1993. the last significant race for that car. I now own this
The TOM'S car is mine which i still own. taken at coppice corner at donnington park, 1988 with Phil Dowsett driving I think. class win, BTCC that year
I think the John Smith #32 car is the 1st one bought here by Toyota for TTA, and currently owned by Peter Helihern in Warwick.
Unsure if this is the right place... But a Japanese Group A entry in 1984 2GO rally at Gosford (by Malscar on the Biante forums)
