Very interesting Evan, I'd like to get my hands on some of those parts, the wide rims and big carby's would be usefull!! Not forgeting the roll bar, could be useful?

While on the subject of Trofeos, do you know what sort of lap times they were doing in the 80's when they ran in competition, or where could I find this information?

[Evan Bottcher]

yeah pretty wide 13x8" rims!!!

Here's the Bathurst 1980 result showing the Gulson Sud qualified with a 3.01 (The Brock/Richards Commondore did 2.21):

See this other thread if you haven't already - Paul Newby posted a picture of the green Sud, how nice is that!

Hi Evan
What is the Unibal kit for the front suspension? Is it a better hub to be able to run wider wheels?  Is it the picture attached?
Can you still get these?
Marcus

I don't know Marcus - I always assumed that was rose joints.

Not cheap,  but cool stuff. They have the body kit and the rims for you.
