Due to being a struggling student this will be a long term build and I will be driving it at the same time as I can't afford to run another car and build this one. The first thing I did was to order a sunstrip and black grills of the bay. I also kept an eye out for a steering wheel and low and...

Morning all. I have recently decided to build a rally car and with previous experience in the k11 platform I started looking around for a 1.4. Saw one for sale in Manchester traveled up and the deal was done. I got it home and was the proud owner of a 1348 with 101000 miles. Let the fun begin...

Have had a change of heart and micra is staying, I am welding a cage in and going to do targa rallies... Was wondering if anyone had dimensions of material needed to make a roll cage

I haven't posted in a while as i got my firt road car, 1.4 golf... then my second 1.6 golf and both needed work might need a third soon :( . But micra hasnt had much done to it recently so have decided to sell it for another junior to enjoy, i will put the money i get towards my kit car or maybe...

Decided I will get a summer job and try and get the micra caged and ready to do a few rallies. In the meantime a video of my kit car:

Long time since I have posted anything, been swamped in A levels and road car mods and kit car. Have not done much to mirca but I did get my mk2 escort kit car running... Have a look :) Micra will more or less be retired for a few years. It was an autotest car but now I have my kit car finished...

Was out on wednesday night and had my dad all night, expect the last test i missed a gear and he beat me by 1.2 seconds over ten tests. Here's a little video of me in action.

Finally back on form !!! 10th overall and let all the other juniors in the dust!! Good event all be it the rear bumper was redesigned by a wall :P

Got the timing sorted and its back to its revvy self :D

Finally got micra back from various garages who could fix the problem and its back to its former glory :D I have an event on Saturday so it will be interesting to see how i get on :D.

Yeah i realize that now. Sorry will check that :)

Thanks

Okay thanks :)

Im going to weld a cage into mine just wondering if it'll be acceptable for FIA rallies, how do you get it legal? I understand it must be built to MSA regs thickness angles etc but after it's built do you need someone to come out and deem it "safe" Or is that what scrutiny is for? Thanks

No cant change it on coil pack model. Someone suggested a stretched timing chain? Anybody heard of this problem its expensive to fix and i dont want to if it wont fix it... Thanks
