Someone asked me to post some pics so here ya go!
Bought this last year as a ready to go tarmac car. after doing one rally in it decided its not really suited for tarmac and made it into a forest car.
dcc festival stages 2008
Spec
Boa 24v 2wd, 230hp according to previous owner but more like 200. Vectra V6 injectors, K+N, simons custom exhaust system, MT75 (being replaced) Ford viscous diff
scorpio calipers on front with drilled and grooved discs, sierra cos on back with yellow stuff all round.
Gaz Gold coilovers all round which are the best upgrade ive done. totally changed the handling of the car for the better

A fearless codriver after a small off
Time for more work, after that accident the car was getting tatty, had lost the exhaust and floor was damaged so it was sent to simons custom exhausts. Simon is a very skillful welder and fabricator who skidded the whole floor, added nice safe jacking points for the forest and made a custom exhaust.

Commisioned simon to paint the car after he started his own bodyshop (kames rally sprint practice 2009)

Then took the car to knockhill in may 2009 for a track night and blew the mt75 right out it. 70mph drifting may not be good for it. And then to add insult to injury i was made redundant the next week. bliss.....
Going to stick another box in her now but cant decide which one. at least ive got plenty of time to do it!
