Blog: Autosolo/stage rally build blog

[K.Anderson]

Here's my k11 road rally/Autosolo car that I am building.
Bought the car on the 30th November 2015 with only 67620 miles on her clock!
Bought the car as standard with all the normal stuff in. It's a 2000(X Reg) micra S.

So far I have done:
Stripped interior
Replaced rear seat and one rear seat belt
Placed 2 in date Sparco sprint seats
And 2 out of date sabelt harnesses (only for autosolo)
Sparco red bonnet pins
Removed plastic strips from doors
Replaced the standard steering wheel for a mono Italy in red
And placed a few decals

Here's some photos so far:
When she was bought!

Stripped interior

Steering wheel

Sparco seats After making a bracket out of the standard ones

Harnesses nearly all fitted

Bonnet pins (took awhile as I was scared of drilling through the bonnet!)

Door plastic strips removed after a pain staking 2days work, as the glue was tough after using all sorts of products to remove it!

The odd decal here and there

The car is still not finished and has quite a bit to be done to it!
Any ideas would be welcome as long as in regulations
I have on order a sported 2.5" back box to fit once arrived as well so expect more posts

FYI you won't be able to road rally it like that!! You need all the rear trim back in, will be fine for autosolos tho.

 

[K.Anderson]

Meaning all the plastics?

All major trim is needed for a road rally, so rear seats, rear quarter trim panels, headlining.

 

[K.Anderson]

Rear door cards are in so are rear seats and headlining wasn't touched

That's good news then, should be OK. Apologies for being the bearer of bad news.

Looks a nice clean car, where abouts are you based?

My recommendation would be to paint your tow hook red or something, now you have a big arrow pointing at it, that'll make it look nicer imo.

Also you state in your op that your harnesses are out of date, pretty sure that's fine for road rallying. They only need to be in date for stage rallying I thought, @SuperUno will confirm/deny that.

I am in Lancashire, thanks for that!

Should have a good selection of events up there!

 

[SuperUno]

Yep, 'out of date' (but in good condition i.e no fraying etc..) belts are fine for road rallying.

 

[K.Anderson]

Here's a few extra photos just to clarify

Looks better, be careful with stickers like names etc.. some areas get fussy with this. Strickly there should NO stickers at all...

I presume the tool box and wheel trims won't be there on events..

 

[K.Anderson]

Yea tool box and trims are just in there for storage at the min, stickers are for the autosolos as people seem to get confused by the driver. Some how... I believe I can't do road rallies at the minute as I am only 15 going on 16 in the next few weeks so just for for autosolos at the minute

You need a driving licence to drive on road rallies, but you can nav now.

 

[K.Anderson]

Will have to stick to the autosolos for now then cheers
