He bought it (or rather I did 😆) from his brother otherwise it would have been the cheapest car to insure.

Just insured my 18 year old son on his first car a 1.25 Fiesta…..£3000 wtf 😳

Sainsbury’s

My GR86 with Aviva went from £630 (as part year) to new quote of £1050 🤯 shopped around and go it for £550 😃

🤣

Wait , what ? Who 🤔🤣

It will be quick enough for you grandad 😆

I would have thought that it should be quiet enough if it’s been sprinted as I think it’s 105db max from memory?

Try Renault parts if they are still on here.

Looked to be going well at Aintree, we didnt realise it was you until after lunch but i left soon after.

Mark Fish used to do them

Harewood is an excellent venue but very very competitiv.

I can’t remember lol I was going to sell and go rallying with an MX5 but the Mini decided to have engine issues before it went for sale. Having now spent a small fortune and more I’ll have to keep it for this year. It’s not the best for its class but has been surprisingly good on a few events...

Ah I am away for both of them. I am at 3 sisters in my Mini but has had an engine rebuild but had to come back out again this week as the crank seal was leaking

When and where is your 1st event ?

You can argue all day about top mounts although it’s been quiet for a while but the integral part means ‘of the original car’ not the coilovers , but hopefully no one will bother you about it.

Not sure on top mounts acceptable everywhere so need to check regs but to be fair if your not winning no one bothers lol I would fit gripper diff and coilovers and not bother with fibre glass or shifter and put that towards the difference in price gripper vs quaiffe. @NorthloopCup is your man...

@Nathan Evans might be the best person to ask, worth putting up an add on here when you do decide.

Where’s the rally at ?

I think you can compete without all the safety gear if you run in standard on the new comers regs iirc

Yes I agree as I did Epynt a good few years ago. This was after loads of sprints and single venue stuff. It was hard work though as had to service and do everything as my dad who co drove was no good with spanner’s.

The closed road rallies look far far better then the circuit based stuff, do they cost a lot more to do ?

Good updates, yes as massivewangers said why go back to standard clio stuff ?

Single venue as have 3 sisters not far away or a step up to Oulton park when funds allow. I’ll have to get out on a targa rally but my Mini is not allowed as it’s forced induction. Still looking for an MX5 locally but all have serious rust issues on front chassis legs and cills.

@Twingo 1?? yes I’ve seen loads of track,race ready cars most of which have back seats and carpets out to make them race ready the better ? one with joe blogs cages that are either home made or out of date and unusable.

Thats getting very expensive! The best bet seems to be building your own car if your good with spanner’s etc but then comes the trailer hire or buy , tow car which if you buy one as your everyday transport is a massive compromise day today. I can see the advantages both ways. Which ever way I go...

Any idea on prices ? MSA rang me last week if I had mistakenly ticked the rally license box by mistake as I’ve had Non Race Nat B for so long ! Also noticed a £60 then a £39 charge on my card so he must have noticed after processing it as a RS interclub or whatever they are called now 🙄

Sunday 21st.

Yes it is Paul Sheard, not sure on tyres but it is arrive and drive. He’s trying to sort out a bit of a test if I can tag onto an event in December so will see. Any class has a top car in and a 1400 Nova was running top 10 for a while at Oulton park the other week. I saw it in the garage and...

£1000 to hire car plus fuel plus compulsory insurance £3-400 but has £2k excess. Also pay for damage etc not sure if that covers blown engines or gear boxes though.
