bit of info now then..
this will be my first rally car, which i am planning on doing alot of test days/track days/sprints/hillclimbs before i am 17 to try and get used to the car..i was out at Hallburn in Longtown in Cumbria testing it about 2 weeks ago, it was a rush to get it there but got it finished the day before..engine had only been in two nights or something.
the car is a very good spec, eventually the engine bay will get tidied but thats the way it is just now until i have a bit more money..

its not the way i would like it though..before i start rallying i want to fit a Qauife SCCR box with 4.8 CWP (the gearing thats in it just now, will allow it to pull 145mph) no good for rallying..
also need a set of 4 rally alloys, the wheels are on it were just flung on to get me to the test day..
also want to get the engine hauled back out and checked/re-built again with cams, bike carbs as the 40's are getting a bit tired..
test day went well, we had been having trouble with steering column putting it on trailer the night before the event and on my second run it broke all together..so we put a spare column on we had and after i knew it was "right" i was alot more confident and starting pushing the car a bit harder.
it was very slippy though as you will see from pics/videos, i put it off the road on one of the runs, hit a pile of wood/lorry tyre. i actually got stuck up on top of them. was just pure ice where i went off, guy in a fiesta st rally car did the exact same but couldnt carry on, he bent his back axle so i got off with it lightly..
