[minispaniard]

nice, really nice!! I resprayed mine last year in the original Targa red as it's a Chelsea...

Any date for its first event? I was marshaling last Sunday on a gymkhana at Woodbridge (Suffolk) and I'm having a go at my first autosolo this Sunday at Waterbeach near Cambridge...

and sorry if it's a bit off-topic, I still think we need a motorsport section on TMF

[minisi35]

Well I usually run as course car on our local novice road rally which is oct/november time so want to aim for that! Are you competing in the mini on the autosolo as its perfect for the job!!!
I agree a motorsport section would be a great idea :)

Hey dude its looking awsome bet your well chuffed the way its going! Mine passed the mot this week but i havent been able to upload any photosyet as my laptop has been down so i'll give it a go later. Quick question What size tyres do you run? Reason for my question is at the moment i have 13/175/50s on mine but the feedback im getting through the steering wheel when im hitting bumps in the road is rediculas! lol was wondering if 13/175/60 would help? What you think fella as you have been rallying before and this is all new to me :)

Cheers

Lofty

The only time I've driven on 13" and I found exactly the same , ive always run on 12"s as I've loads of tyres to use. Put a post on the technical forum and you may get a bit more feedback and advice. Have you any events lined up yet?

That rear picture is just perfect. You have the rally look going on :) I need to get mine a mk1/2 bootlid to make it look more authentic. Very nice work though! can't wait to see it finished.
