Heres a pic from Sunday. The tyres (Michelin medium rally tyres) were certainly hanging on going round Lunar!! Almost hitting the rim!

Looking at doing the Glyn Memorial stages at Anglesey end of November

Saying that, the dampers are alright, I was just bottoming out the springs I need to get a longer, harder spring for the front, and something different for the rear

I ran out of money so Bilstein had to do. Still won the class but would have liked to go faster and finish higher up. The car did it's job and finished the rally, that's the main thing.

Lights were new headlamps with 100w bulbs in all, Hella gas discharge lamps (left lense is a spot, right is a drive) and an LED light bar that cost £40 on ebay!

Everyone along the route is PR'd, and there are road closure orders in place. They are probably so used to it all by now though on the island with all the different events that go on (cars, bikes etc) that they know what to do.

Damn I forgot to get a ticket again

Or Ohlins

I have road rallied over epynt a few times but havnt done a stage rally on there. I loved road rallying over there though. Manx stages were awesome, I just needed proflex or something for those bumps, I was really having to back of in places.

I also competed on the Adgespeed stages on sunday at 3 sisters in Wigan and had good fun although I struggled with front grip (needed a rarb on really but didn't think) Had crap seeding so ended up catching slower cars costing me time. Finished 13th overall and 4th in class (3 secs off 3rd, 4...

I've started putting my videos from the Rally isle of man onto youtube. It takes ages. Friday nights stages Saturday daytime stages (2 got cancelled due to accidents)

Yes a hammer will be loads more force than you stomping on it, and it's more accurate and localised. As previously quoted, try and stomp a nail in with your foot then use a hammer and see which is better.

Block of wood on the inside and a big hammer

Rally starts at 10am, usually on until 5ish I think. @shiftspark What's ive spent and what it's worth are 2 different things so I'm not totally sure yet. Just glad I dont have to add labour charges onto the value. It would be interesting to see what others value it at.

I got them a bit cheaper as i get a discount http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/a-i-tech-wheel-tyre-accessories

I've got the A I Tech competition studs and the copper coated wheel nuts. Not cheap either, but didn't want to break any more after I had a couple fail.

Cage is SD from the group buy and is the full bolt in jobby, cross diagonals, harness bars, tunnel brace and cross door bars. Worst fitting cage I have ever fitted. (And i have fitted quite a few), and apparently I wasnt fitting it correctly! I didn't dignify them with a response to that. Had...

Hope that's sarcasm about the tippex!

Check with the sprint rules as depending on what class you go in can have an impact on what tyres you can run (msa list 1a is a road tyre, msa list 1b is a track tyre)

What tyres are you using? look at changing that back box to something that sits up a bit higher too

3 weeks to go. Looks like another case of Lastminutemotorsport.com I was hoping to get up to watch and marshal but wife is working that weekend so it's a no go. My manx codriver Angus Williams owns tobermory-campsite.co.uk if you need somewhere to stay

Not big enough to make any difference apparently, my mate has previously looked into them

I fancy a Reliant........Scimitar! And drop a Honda S2000 engine and running gear in it!!

Don't think he will be needing in date seats for a while......

Suppose I had better update with what I did to the car before I went to the Isle of Man. It was mainly electrical stuff for the extra lighting. 3 new Relays, wiring and switches for the Gas discharge lamps and the LED light bar. New relay and codriver foot operated switch for horns. New LED...

Turbo have a cc x1.5 multiplying factor in sprints and hillclimbs which is a bit more equal than the cc x1.7 in rallying. It means the renault 5 turbo's compete in the under 2000cc class and I had some great battles with them in my clio.

Standard class is standard. Standard tyres Road modified is a complete car (interior, radio, tax mot etc) but can do throttle bodies, lsd, lower CWP, coilovers etc, but not solid topmounts, wheel spacers and a few things like that. Some places are standard tyres, others can use like track tyres...

yeah its 250+bhp, big wheels, big suspension, big brakes etc etc. Its a proper bit of kit but reliability does seem its downfall. And yes he is a good pilot and hell of a nice bloke too. I got round with no real issues except the bulb blowing out in the map light. Finished with the tyres I...

Was getting my arse kicked by a suzuki swift (bit like a works car as it is Jamie jukes who owns Spencer sport that also run Tom Cave), but he broke down so I won, beating an Astra, Golf gtis, and a Seat. First time there, first closed road tarmac rally, 2nd time ever on pacenotes.

Loads of different classes, as it was BRC so there are those classes, and historic classes etc, then national classes
