    Managed to get over to the jj brown rally, a mega steady start and a couple of wrong slots meant not the best of results at 36th o/a. Too much bias on the front brakes and really muddy lanes on the first half made it tricky earlier on, got an idea of the cars potential later on when the roads were dryer. Bar a dodgy second gear synchro the car didn't miss a beat.

    Sideways Mk2 Rally car

    Didn't get to the start in the end, but heard them going past the back of the house!! A local lad was first car home after doing the Killarny Historic the previous weekend 👍

    The engine performed great and felt very quick and drivable, and fun! I would defo recommend SRD for head/cam/exhaust manifold set up.
    Obviously there's quicker road rally escorts out there but I was impressed with it.
