Dave's Autoest/Pct and Rally car

Bought this from Copart a couple of weeks ago....Damage to it was minimal....dent in the o/s rear Quater...Dent in drivers door and the smallest of dents in the front wing. This was repaired in a couple of hours,the dorr ap was moved back into place using a portapower and the dent simply poped out...around 3mm of filler was used to get rid of the ripples....drivers door was replaced(quicker then filler) and the wing was panel beaten back and filled.Repaired on sat sprayed on sunday....well confession time...I am a panel beater sprayer so it was a wallk in the park.

The biggest surprise is that it is a 1 owner car having only done 4k between Mot's and Mot'd till july next year nad has just had a full service ...Result

This is going to be used in motorsport clubman level next year...competing on the Btrda autotest championship and a few Production car trials and the odd Road Rally...suspension wise there is Avo coilovers for the front...Bilseins at the rear with an adjustable rod....Stut braces will also be fitted....A 8mm skidded sumpguard and also tank guards will aslo be fitted along with all the fuel and brake lines will be relocated inside the car

This weekend will see the Micra out on it's first PCT the Rob Roberts memorial event organised by the Caernarfonshire and Anglesey Motor club on Anglesey...This I must admit to being my first PCT for over 20 years.

For those of you who don't know what a PCT is it is quite simple really...What you have got in fact is a Grassy hill Numbered up form 12 to 0....The 12 is at the bottom of the hill and obvioulsy the 0 is at the top....where you stop moving forward is the score you have ....a 0 is classed as cleaning the hill and thus no penalty is applied....the winner is the car with the lowest penalty...Speed is definatly a hinderance as so is wheelspin.......You can lower your tyre pressuses according to the class you are in.
