March Club Meeting
7 March 2014
Club member Zac Edwards is our guest speaker at the March meeting.
Zac won the National Shootout at the Oz Gymkhana at Tailem Bend, South Australia, in December.
Zac and his business partner at TechSport, Jeff Beaumont, bought a damaged Mitsubishi Mirage and over 12 months built up a speed machine using the mechanicals of an Evo6 rally car, including four-wheel-drive gear and a two-litre turbocharged engine. They replaced the steel panels with fibreglass or carbon-fibre, extending the wheel arches to fit bigger wheels and making their own body kit.
In the shootout, which you can find on YouTube, Zac beat his nearest rival by more than 12 seconds.
Zac will have the Mirage on display for close inspection from 7pm before the club meeting. We will then roll it into the club rooms. His presentation will start with PowerPoint slides and then continue around the car in the supper area so he can point out the critical parts.
He will comment where appropriate on what modifications could be applied to Peugeots. It should be a great night for the petrol heads.
There will be a bring-your-own barbecue before the meeting and supper afterwards.
