Hi, I've just changed the gearbox on my rally car the other day from a 1.3 box to a 1.0 box and put the 1.0 starter on but for some reason it sounds as though the starter isn't engaging the flywheel? I've had the starter on the bench and it works fine and doesn't stick. Do I need to change...

The previous owner of my Micra has modified their airbox to stop water getting in....it hasn't got a pipe for a cold air feed or anything but I've never had a problem with water in this car. On the Mel Harris last year we went through several fords and floods where the water was sometimes...

Hi, Not sure if this is a stupid question but I'd rather double check and find out. Does the Phase 1 Micra K11 dashboards fit into the Phase 2?? Just wondering as obviously the Phase 2 dashboards are a lot more bulky and heavier than the Phase 1's. Thanks, Rob

Has anyone ever thought of putting a 1500 or 1800 out of an N16 Almera in a Micra then? Now I haven't put any thought at all into this....Was just an idea that popped into my head becuase I have an N16 Almera 1500 as a road car and the engine seems to pull the car pretty well considering how big...

I know there's a bloke in South Wales that makes custom shafts for any car and uses a thicker steel than standard. Apparently they are unbreakable and a LOT of rally boys use them especially the 1400 boys with around 170-200BHP

I have started chipping the back passenger footwell of the sound proofing already.Pain in the ass job really.Not one of my favourties to be honest. :laugh: What bars are you on about Chris? Help and advice always appreciated (Y) I've got a Safety Devices cage so will be fine. I've always been...

Little bit more progress for you.Interior is completly stripped now apart from the foot pedals which will soon be out. Engine and gearbox are out and the complete loom is also out. Just a few little bits to take off under the bonnet and then the inside can be started e.g fit roll cage, seat...

So finally got round to starting my new rally car tonight. Didn't do much as you can see but it's a start.Didn't spend much time on it tonight. Target is Wyedean next year so I've given myself plenty of time to get it ready. Couple of pics just to get started then. Will try and take pics...

Can you run Nissan Sunny N14 discs and calipers under a 13" wheel? the 1.4 and 1.6 I mean

First thing would be to join your local motor club wherever that may be. Attend a few meetings and ask anything you need to know to the more experienced competitors. Another tip would be to marshal on a couple of events so you get to know the in's and out's. Try and do a few autotests as well...

Why are they all different then? I thought they would be the same as I didn't think there was much difference. Sure I recently put a 1.0 front to rear subframe on my 1300 rally car before a road rally as my rear mount was finished Cheers, Rob

As Matt said.Bog standard basically.....You are allowed to change the suspension to coilovers etc but no remote resevoir supsension such as Proflex etc. Think the exhaust is free from the manifold back but any car after 1999 I think must retain the catalytic converter.Also,as said before, ECU is...

I don't know....The top local boys around here are seriously,seriously quick. I was marshalling on the Bro Teifi and was reminded at just how quick some of them are.Unbelievable!! Plus,tendancy is.....the same roads do get used on most rallies so they know the roads pretty well also. PM'd you...

Classic tracks isn't running this year as the club will be running the Bro Tysul instead. Not heard encouraging things about Welsh events??Seriously,you got to get yourself down here or even WBCC area. The events are amazing and the best no-nonsense and nothing to catch you out events. Basically...

ECU is also free from now.So whatever you can do to the ECU like mapping etc you can.Very sensible as ECU are hard to police but Rally First class on stages don't allow the ECU's to be modified in any way!

So what hoses will the kit consist of? Just the cooling hoses or what? Not in a massive rush for mine as I will be starting a new build for a rally car soon Cheers, Rob

Would also be interested if the price is reasonable

It's not that much of a great car to be honest.lol.It's bog standard apart from the necessary rally bits like the cage,seats etc. Bought a few bits now to start building a new one now.Just need a nice tidy shell

What sort of Hire fees would it be for the Hire car then?

Which ones alloys lad? The 5 spoke ones or the other ones? Not sure what the 5 spoke ones are as they came with the car and they required spacers to get them to sit right. The other alloys are Compomotive TH's. Basically your gravel rally wheel. The ones on my car are TH 1's.The newer models are...
