I am currently looking at getting a new toy. The vectra is about to need a bit of work and as it was written off 18 months ago, i cant be bothered. I dont need a car for work as i cycle to work now and we have a Kia carens for the family days out. Should i buy a 197 or cheap 200? It would be...

Yes mine has the Gripper lower cwp and plate diff. It is currently with @bloke having the gearbox checked over and diff refitted after being back to Gripper to have the snapped output shaft replaced.

Standard Valeo in my rally car, no issues. Also had a standard Valeo in the previous sprint and hillclimb car, again no issues.

Rally car has a standard airbox with k+n panel filter in it. Job done. Car runs 188bhp / 172ft lb torque

As my Manx rally codriver lives on Mull it would have been great to do it with him but i didn't have the budget to do it when it was last run. The car will be up for sale soon so its unlikely that I will ever be able to do it.

The main reason my original studs sheared was because i didnt have the correct spigot rings in, but i replaced them with the A I Tech ones and copper coated nuts (not cheap). As for the driveshafts, the one i broke was my own stupid fault at Weeton as i slid off into the undergrowth and I was...

I did charity rides in my rally car a couple of years ago and they had a booster seat there that sat perfectly in my bucket seats so there are some out there.

I've snapped 1 shaft but my own fault. Slid off the stage into the grass and was flooring it as it came back onto the tarmac so snapped the drivers shaft. Other retirement was due to snapping the output shaft on diff which is being replaced for the new better material version. Other than that...

Still love that camo sticker set

Nice to get that footage on an event

Mine will be up for sale soon, ready to rally. Got a build thread on here somewhere.

I run a dished wheel and a spacer on a QR adaptor so it's much closer

All these first cars are far too good. You need to have a really s**t car as a first car. I give you the Talbot Horizon......not my actual car but very similar. Mine was a darker blue. My mum had it for years then I had it 9 months. 15k miles, 2 engines, 2 headgaskets, 1 gearbox, front torsion...

Oops i forgot about this! I've been the last few years with my kids and we have had a great day out. Hopefully the kids won't realise we missed it this year. (Can't go tomorrow as we are busy)

Mine are road/stage rally cars. I will say it is a lot more comfortable as a passenger in a track car with a footrest in though

I've got a carbon one in mine and I had to make spacers to go under the bolts on that one. My previous car had a similar aluminium one to the link and I had to spacer the front on one side and think I cut the back edge and modified it to bolt in.

Wonder if adjustable pedal boxes will come under scrutiny too if they don't want things adjusted whilst in a seated position. Lot of people having to get the new passport type logbook on their cars to avoid having to make the changes from next year.

Shorter than normal too

I just knew before I clicked the link that there would be arrows involved

Air leak on inlet manifold will cause it to rev up. Did it on mine when I forgot to reconnect the servo hose

Standard pads on the rear of the rally car. No issues whatsoever Including using the handbrake on stages and locking the rears with Michelin soft inters on the back (super sticky). Other pads just dont the give the bite and if the standard pads got too warm they wouldn't work (which never...

They look quite nice but I think I will stick with my standardish inlet and 188/172 ft/lb torque

Engine sounded like a bag of spanners

At least the badges coordinate with the Disklok

Very nice. It will still break down though. Sorry.

I will sell you some 1deg shims if you like

Pop to your nearest halfords or petrol station or motorfactors as they will sell a temporary push in type cap at least.

Stages 1-4 I had medium hankooks on the front with a damp cut and soft michelin inters on the back Then from 5 onwards I put some old medium dunlops on the front as any chance of a good result had gone after I accidentally did an extra lap so got a stage maximum. 3 sisters wrecks tyres so I just...

Finally got round to uploading the incar videos from the last rally onto youtube

There is also the HERO RAC rally of the tests on over that way too this weekend https://heroevents.eu/events/rac-rally-of-the-tests/
