how do you resize a photo to add to your avtar or what ever they call it

[Dezza]

you can simply use Microsoft Paint and load the image up, then go to the image toolbar, then stretch / skew and change the percentages to say 20% and then click ok, its just a matter of keeping on resizing it until it small enough in size and in file size.. :lol:

[Billsy]

or in photo editor you car select resise and type in the exact size you want it shrunk to... easy

cool, didnt know that, i know u can do that with Photoshop but not everyone has that, i cant find Photo editor on my start menu, how do u get to it billsy?

[steve rs rally]

thanks i will try that

[DRMAT]

Dezza: From memory it's part of Microsoft Office, so if you don't have that you won't find it. Might be able to download it by itself... a nicer program thats very small but heaps of features is ACDSee...free download.

Mat :shock:

i am still looking for rs aus or jap del if any one has one for sale

[Raynman]

Steve - are you looking for a road car or rally car?

BTW - when are you going out again? Saw the car at the Camcrusher but haven't seen it since.

[steve rs rally]

raod car, wife has been in and out of hospital for months has slowed events down hope to be at
the next few events and rally of melb
we will contest full series next year vcrs and vrc
after the result we got in c/crusher till gear box let go! 3rd o/right to two arc cars i was happy

[Raynman]

That's a good result, pity the legacy gearboxes do that :( (Dad's let go at the Yakerboo last year on the first stage - he finished 5th in the Nightmoves so he is getting faster)

3rd in the camcrusher :D - that is where my brother Glen ended up (he was that young freak in the 1300 corolla in his first finish). My avatar photo is me at the same event.

Anyhow, good luck with the preps



As far as a road car, trading post and for sale is probably the best place. It took me a while to find mine, but ended up with a bargain.

[RallyRS]

Thought i'd just add to the rally nut flavour of this thread! Glad to see you FINALLY found it Steve! Took some photo's of you car on Saturday... i'll post em up tonight.

Matty - have you fixed your car(s) yet?

Cheers, Matt

[Raynman]

Stripped the spare rear end of the leone, will get it in there after the Spring 200 (hoist time is always short the week before a rally). Found my adjustable radius rod so hopefully the handling is sweet. Will be out either the derrick or the yakerboo.

Everyone else is set due to the cancelled Tunbridge. Actually potential for a good result from everyone - Steve has been driving his car around after its refresh and it is apparently awesome!, Dad is still getting quicker (5th last time out) and Glen, well dare I say he luuurves the area (he was beating Eli and Ben fawcett before his off - 2nd place!!!!)



RS is running pretty well, still chasing insurance though as the front end is creaky and occassionally steers itself :roll:. Looks awesome with B4 BBS mags :D

[steve rs rally]

matt whats with the mizu bits missing as your avatar? do you want to sell that spare parts bin of yours to me i like white
steve p

[Raynman]

I may have just got myself a ride for the Spring 200 :shock:


Just gotta decide if I take it :-k :)

[Raynman]

Well, it's unofficial - I am navving for Glen in the Spring 200 \:D/


I may need help getting extracted from the car after each stage, it is "his forest" after all :DDD

[RallyRS]

Ah nice one... im not picking up stray brake calipers for your this time :P . It's my home forest too... but the Celica aint ready (still) and i dont think the VI would be very popular!
Maybe we should wheel the Triumph out for the new classic class :D .

Anyway, i'll see you up there one way or another.

Steve - stay away from my car !!! And remember, I know where yours is!

[steve rs rally]

matt i might hide it
found orig 92 RS one onwer, he worked for subaru in the bush was comp/car he keept it when he left has been parked for 12 months od fully serviced by subaru all the time

[all paw]

This is just getting further and further of topic but anyway,
Raynman, you mentioned that your brother races a 1300 corolla, i take it thats the 4k engine, what mods has he done to his engine has he gone the 3/4k hybrid or gone a different path, and what sort of power does it make. im asking because my brother has a KE55 coupe and we are planning on doing some mods, hopefully geting a supercharger kit from SA which should perk up the engine a tad. I would love to see some pics of your bros car.

[Raynman]

Really off topic now - maybe we should start a "show us ya rally car" thread! (We have 4 :D)



Its a 4K. Not much to say really - Pretty much a standard bottom end (only mod is balanced and 1st overbore), ported big port head, mild cam (131, 113??)


As far as horsepower goes - not that much!!! I think about 85hp or so. (The secret is he drives it through corners faster than anyone else.....)

Look on the www.vicrally.com.au site under photos - heaps of when I had the car - and all the others as well (TE35 corolla, leone, legacy, RX-2....)


(Just a note - the two linked above are ones we have bought)
