Re: My MK2 Rally car

Hi,just started looking at this thread and i remember this car when it was a road rally car.My mate had it for a while for a few night events and a few stages.My mate was from Ammanford and he was going to build it in to a grp 4 but sold it on then.

Hi Paul,

Glad to see that progress is being made again - and am loving the RetroMotorsport diff tunnel, boxes and brace

As Matt says - we need more pics!

Cheers,

Paul

Thanks Paul. Its a god feeling. Spent saturday washing it to make it nice and shiny again.

Here's a few more pics from the weekend.

My lame attempt at being arty! Not quite ready for entering the photo competition! (oh i've got some new wheel nuts coming this week - how expensive are they?!)



Does anyone know if i can block off the oil breather from the cam cover? its dry sumped and the tank in the boot has a breather, into a catch tank. I basically want to get rid of the aluminium tank in the drivers inner, inner wing!

Re: My MK2 Rally car

looks a fun machine that mate, well done

Loving the interior shot, nice boxes over the link boxes too

Re: My MK2 Rally car

Looks really good Paul - much shinier than mine at the moment

Have you tried those clear headlights before? Any good? I need a new pair for mine, so was considering something along those lines....

Cheers,

Paul.

Thanks very much. I can't take any credit though, as i handed it over to Gary to getting it looking like it does. Unlike you who does all the fabrication yourself.

I've not tried them Paul, just for show at the moment! They are the ones from Mark Sollaway. Very nice units. I hope they are good. Think from memory they have 4300K coloured lamps in them.

Eventually i am aiming to convert the cibies i have to HID versions so they match.

Re: My MK2 Rally car

Hmmmm, Now where have I seen that colour before

Looking great that Paul

As Paul says, where did you get those headlights? I also need a new pair, Cearwent took it's toll on mine.

According to Shaun, its titanium! Thanks though I've got a satin finish opposed to gloss.

The headlights are from Historic Rallying, not cheap but i liked them and they came as a complete kit. I was having a bit of a nightmare getting the old ones to fit without wobbling. They were slightly bodged!

I think Grp4 fabrications sell crystal ones which are a lot cheaper. They might be worth a look first?

Re: My MK2 Rally car

Cheers mate.

I've seen Torstens lights and they look good. Are your a glass or plastic lens/front clear bit? I'd hate to fork out on a pair of Mark Solloways and crack them 1st event.

Get her finished mate, we'll do an event.

The crankcase *should* be under vacuum at high revs (it should always scavenge more oil than it should pump back in), so you can just fit an air filter on the breather to stop it sucking in any shit.
