Hey guys, just letting you know that you do not need to pay when entering yet.

Thought I'd give you a heads up on the competition! Boosted Faclon should dominate the drags and for those that don't want to take there car out on the track there is a show'n'shine.

Euro's, JDM, Aussie muscle, exotics, drag machines, track hacks, hot hatches, time attack entrants, back yard mechanics and forum enthusiasts in general.

Representing Supra forums Danny's car is indeed a clean example.

Think your car could keep up with this bad boy? Grandma spec AE86 entering for some fun and to represent AE86 Driving Club.

Kyne’s Golf GTI is a well thought out machine, made to look aggressive and go when needed.

Stock Astra? Think again, 280kw at the wheels and he's not finished yet!

This Aussie muscle car might have dominated the drag strip with 480rwkw but has chosen to enter the show'n'shine. Drag competitors can let out a sigh of relief.

2.5L conversion, Will shall fly the flag for JDMST in the time attack category. Model in photo is Bettina Banks for those wondering. Google it!

This Vr4 started life as a grocery car and is now Australia's fastest road legal Galant.

You just got beat..By a Wagon! fullBOOST and Warren will be doing what they do best; the 1/4 mile

Nope, this isn’t your everyday CE Lancer GLi with a knock off Evo bodykit. Luke’s cars is the real deal!
Last year it won the Victorian Hillclimb championship (4wd Sedan class).

Looks like a hot hatch battle is emerging in the FWD class for time attack. Rory has thrown his hat in the ring for OPELAUS with a very neat Astra VXR Nurburgring Editions.

Show'n'shiney! Exterior has a custom full respray in Morpheus purple with custom airbrushed TME decals in carbon fibre & real flames, carbon fibre wing. Interior is also a custom 4 seater recaro conversion with full retrim in German yellow custard leather.

Keeping the smell of fuel in the air is Glen in his Time attack RX7.

A Lotus Esprit GT300 GT2 LeMans Racer!

DAP-R Springs 40mm drop at the front, 50mm drop at the rear!

Jason being a seasoned time attack entrant is no stranger to the tarmac, competing in this years World Time Attack Clubsprint class setting a 1:43.0420 lap.

Carbon tax!

Open class entrant Nik Kalis. This well sorted car will be great to watch at the time attack discipline.

Micheal or better known as SP BLING on Oz Mazda owner steps up to represent his forum.

Bought for a measly $1200, John’s Track Hack AW11 has spent most of 2011 in the garage being brought back to life. He is the first to admit to Forum battle that it isn’t going to win any Show and Shine awards. And it never will!

A regular track day addict, a Circuit Club organizer and an Advan Neova Cup Competitor, Narada has been to Wakefield ( 2hr South west of Sydney) more then most.

The first to enter forum battle was Darrin who wsa bitten by the track day bug has constantly been developing his Evo X.

Euro Revolution owner Sebastian enters in his brand spanking new Golf R. Team Euro Revolution has a few more cars entering so stay tuned to our facebook page: ARC Forum Battle 2012 | Facebook

More to come...

Does your car have what it takes to compete? Or just looking to have a little fun?

Forum Battle Update

Good news forum users. Struggling to decide whether to track your car or enter it in the show’n’shine? Why not do both! Any one competing in the Time attack, Rally, drags or Gymkhana will automatically gain free entry into the Show & Shine!

Plus competitors get to nominate 2 Pit Crew members who will gain entry to the event for $10 a day. As car nuts we know the benefits of having a spare pair of hands around when working on cars. Whether we were doing an engine conversion, swapping a gearbox or simply bleeding brakes the job was made easier and more fun with mates. So bring 2 of your best mates down and even if they don’t know how to change a tyre at least you’ll have somebody cheering you on .

Sup regs have been updated and finalised, a copy can be found here: http://www.rally.com.au/images/stories/Forum_Regs_SR_030112.pdf

As if you needed another excuse to get involved; The second prize pool announcement is up. Forum battle is happy to have Motul, DBA , and Bendix come on board and support Forum Battle.

1. Motul – x6 oil and Motul fluid packs to give away worth $1200
2. DBA – x2 pairs of 4000 series
3. Bendix – x4 SRT( Street Road Track) sets of pads

New forums join the battle and already entered forums step it up a notch. Check out the latest batch of competitors:

Turbocharged, short wheel base, mid-engine, cool 80′s styling and an extensive mod list. This AW11 is a veteran at the track and will be represent MR2 Australia

Instantly recognised by those who attended WTAC 2011 this supra is the promo car for Gorilla Industries. Shane and his high powered Supra have run 1:05:75 at Wakefield. Shane will be representing JDMST in its Lotus inspired war paint.

Jason’s RX7 has seen significant changes and upgrades over the years with results to match; 1st overall at The No Limits Time Attack event at Barbagallo, WA in October 2010, and 1st at Raventech Time Attack battle in 2wd October 2010. Jason will be representing his club RENEW (Rotary Enthusiasts of New South Wales) in the Time attack, Tarmac rally and the 1/4 mile drags

The latest to join the Evo OZ team is 27 year old and his EVO 9 MR. Having previously owned an EVO 7, Dan is no stranger to Mitsubishi’s AWD, turbo charge beast. No Expense has been spared on Dan’s baby. Out on the track Dan is also a seasoned racer, with 2 years of racing experience under his belt and another 5 for club days

.
SAU announces their first entrant and it’s clear these boys won’t be happy with second place. Introducing Adam Newton and “BIG RED”, the carbon/wide body R32 GTS-t with 400rwkw on tap!
Adam will be representing SAU in the Pro Class for the time attack and rally stage events.

After owning a straight LPG turbo EL Fairmont and an EB Falcon wagon converted to V8. This is Pete’s sensible car, it started as a pov pack GLi, complete with random mis matched colored body parts, stuck on fake vents and stickers everywhere. But an almost new Impco LPG system was too good to refuse ( especially with today’s petrol prices ).

Would appreciate it if you guys could all please visit the link and hit the like button or share this link on your own wall.

by **motorculture** » February 1st, 2012, 3:28 pm

Quickest NA I6 Falcon in Australia and only getting quicker, Scott’s aim is to get his 230rwkw EA Falcon it into the low 12′s without the help of boost or laughing gas. A loyal Boosted Falcon member for many years Scott will be representing Boosted Falcon in the 1/4 mile drag and hoping to get further into the low 12′s.

Forum battle wants each and every competitor to be able to go home with a proper Motorsport adrenalin filled day so why not make Forum Battle a full day of racing? Satisfy those track cravings by entering multiple events. Mix it up, Gymkhana and Drags or Rally and Time attack. Plus entering one or more motorsport category gains you free entry to the Show’n’Shine.
By entering multiple events you increase your forums chances of taking out the title of 2012 Forum Battle Outright Winners as well as having a better chance to take home a chunk of the prize pool (prize pool is now valued at around $13,000 with more to be announced). Sponsored cars will also be able to take advantage of the TV / online coverage Forum Battle will be providing.

I want to enter the drags, but I’m not sure if my car meets requirements?
Drag requirements here: http://www.calderpark.com.au/competitor ... acing.aspx

I want to race but I don’t have a CAMS Licence?
We are organising a single day licence with CAMS now so stay tuned…

What Tyres can we use?
Tyre information can be found here: http://forumbattle.com.au/2012/02/02/bu ... clarified/

great news on the single day cams licence... interested to see how that goes.

by **Ef_frmnt** » February 4th, 2012, 10:21 am

interesting that the two entries from our forum - Boosted Falcon - are both N/A hahaha

by **pHaT`eL** » February 4th, 2012, 10:25 am

2 out of 3 are NA..

by **[D1SCNT]** » February 4th, 2012, 2:27 pm

Cough* cough*

by **iCER** » February 4th, 2012, 3:59 pm

if we following those caler rules, alot of cars wont be entering the drags unfortunatlly. Plenty of 10 sec street cars like mine who have no tail shaft loop, chute setup or cage.

by **TUFED6** » February 4th, 2012, 4:12 pm : **67rce Likes this post**

Just run icypole. If they kick you out big deal. You could argue that a standard BA centre bearing is a tailshaft loop

by **iCER** » February 4th, 2012, 4:28 pm

why would i pay 150$ to do 1 run, waste it on a 10.99, and makes boosted look fail as everyone else will be running low 10s/9s/8s lol

by **TUFED6** » February 4th, 2012, 4:31 pm : **braad, NUT347 Likes this post**

You've probably spent more than that on pointless dyno runs already.

by **NUT347** » February 4th, 2012, 4:39 pm : **LUXO_8 Likes this post**

LOL

Edit: also LOL at your "wasted" 10.99. Can you smoke your own pole any harder?
