Cheers to edPphoto

Recently competed in caerwent patriot stages rally. Was really good fun. Slippery in the morning which suited the small power micra. Came 43 oa out of 100 starters. We started off in 30 second intervals and on the first stage we passed 3 cars!! Pictures below on a hairpin right. On the handbrake

Tarmac rallying is a good laugh. Go as fast as you like/dare. Look up epynt. Biggest buzz driving I've ever had. Even catches out the worlds bestvdrivers

Had two in a week few years ago. Bloody screws both times on a main road. Kids or messy builders? Doing rally Sunday was thinking about leaving out spare as no need for jack, impact gun or wheel then which adds up. Only about 15 mile loop but lots of kerbs

All about power to weight ratio. Different as mine competition car. My road car (civic type r) has all the creature comforts etc. It's a road car.

Polycarb windows. Cut all the guts out of the doors, ditto tailgate, seats gone, run a space saver?? Lighter, alloy jack from porcshe on eBay, cut guts out of bonnet, ditch stereo, speakers etc, sound deadening, back seats, rear belts, slimfast diet!!

No pics of sumpguard at present sorry. Don't mind if that font sell as it's an awesome bit of kit that 'will' fit bmw

Yeh the shell might be the only problem. If you was to do all the work would take ages etc seam welding, strengthening plates, floor plates for cage plus the proper cage.plus windows have been filmed for rallying. Mud laps latest spec and it's got an up to date competition log book. But to...

How much do you weigh seriously? I'm about 95-100 so mine would of been a ton with me inside.

Realistically to breK the car would need approx the following prices. The car is not breaking yet butjust trying to find out if worth it. Engine and box 1500 Gpa carbon airfilter with spare filter 100 Janspeed 4 branch, cat replacement silencer and new stainless cat back system 250 Strut brace...

Jesus that's light. Might fill my tires with helium for the next weigh

As I said in the ad I'm not selling or breaking yet I'm just curious to know what would be the best avenue to go down in the future. The cage is a janspeed built bolt in cage. Really nice cage. Few pictures of my car on my blog or weighed my micra yesterday thread. I'm using the car this...

I've been having a think about going back to rwd next year (well already purchased engine and supension for e30 BMW) and am thinking what to do with the micra. Should I break it or sell it complete? If was to break- Engine-1275, cams, big injectors, fse reg, gpa airbox, janspeed 4branch and...

I'd say most people with a little bit of mechanical knowledge could change the flywheel. I put a Mayes one on recently. Took about 1.5 hours as never removed a fwd box before. Basic halfords tool kit, trolley jack, axle stand, impact gun for flywheel bolts, long bar for levering bottom arm.

Yeh carpets need to be fitted. I take them out for stages. They don't weigh much stripped down with no sound deadening. The bonnet has the braces removed, very floppy. Cage and spare wheel, carpets and jack etc all add up. Maybe my car ain't too bad with all the accessories

Started cutting doors. Need windows to still go up n down Lots of weight in the objects as you can see

Mine has pas, gtir brakes too, didn't consider them. Has yours got a cage too?

I love the sliding the car around. Miss my escort for this reason but doing house up so can't have it all. A massive buzz for me is when driving as hard as I can in the tight twisty lanes of Wales in the dark, wet leafy roads etc when you just catch a glimpse of red taillights in front of you...

Yeh It's on the road. Don't need them as far as I know. Mate owns mot station so no need anyway. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has weighed their rally car? My car probably has 80-100 kg extra weight from rally prep compared to track day car.

Just Been looking through my car to see where can shave a little weight. The car was a built rally car before I bought it and after taking things apart I've realised it has been lightened a bot already. I took the door cards off- speakers have been removed and side impact bars taken out...
