Well After 3 weeks of flat out working on this car I finally took it for a little blast thru the lanes. very impressed. need to sort a few things out like tracking and camber setiings. but fair play to the car with the low ratio box and an LSD it goes very well.

Ready to go for a spin

Really Happy with the car. I managed to build it in 4 weeks and compete strongly in a rally with no issues.

Great little car.

A picture from the event

looking good mate. cant u put the filter on the other end of the cold air feed so that its further from the heat? may be better?

  • Author

This would be ideal and is possible but in rallying the deep fords we go through and the water being hit at speed its the lesser of two evils to have cold air blown into the area so it doesnt suck the water in.

ah i see! didnt think of that mate, fair point! get some more videos up if you can bro!

Great job :thumbsup: Could you lease post some pics of the boot space? How did you organised/mounted spare wheel/car lift/wheelbrace?

This does need an update Hywel!!! Basically recently we did a rally recentley ... he put the gearbox in from his stage car, and made her a proper darlin :)

we would have won ths night event by 1.30 but for an error on my part ... anyhoo spin was cracking and the pictures were good!! when Hywel will update soon I hope.

as there are two rallies to update on now!!

Pleasure
