Having owned this for coming up to a year now, I thought it was about time I got a project thread up (and possibly contribute more around these parts..)

Rallye in question is the ex press car that appeared on the cover of Revs.

Plans are for the car to be a part time track toy, but not to the extent of stripping and caging at this time (can't fit the bike in around a cage).

Any welding, confusing bits, or general things I don't wish to do will/have been carried out by Chris at Tolman Motorsport, who I would recommend to anyone with track related needs!

First things first, inspection, oil change, solid engine mounts, new pads (DS2500), discs (Brembo), braided lines and fluid.

With these sorted a little extra turned up that I could not turn down...



No pictures of them in the car, but butchered a set of gti6 seat frames so I could use the sliding mechanism to give a small amount of access to the back seat.

Fairly pleased with first track outing in it, but still lots more I want to do..


Picked this up from Ash (the pipe was filthy when I got it.. had to give it much polishing )



That + decat seems to have given it a lovely noise when you get going, no boomyness, and not a lot of noise at low revs




Then time for the expensive bits...





Avo GTX coilovers, with a little added extra -



Trying to save my poor student-like pennies so I can afford to get it on track to try these out now!


At some point I also fitted some headlights *yawn*




And that is about it, next plans are to get some harness mounts welded in for the driver, and a second set of wheels for track use. Plans for the summer are to strip down the front end and try to get rid of as much rust as possible. Long term plans -


That is all

Maybe I have a speach impediment?

Top mounts have got top adjustable camber mounts

i have heard a lot of stories on these avo's with them being setup properly. loads of people i have heard say they can't get them to a suitable preference and keep getting shot of them. joney had these (i think) and had them properly set up by pete farmer racing and was very happy on the other hand

Yea it was James's Rallye, unfortunately not as clean now I own it

Bars are whatever was on it - on to do list is to look at arb and beam. They have been set up here, haven't been able to play properly on a track yet but very happy on some twisty roads so far. Springs we played around with a few times, I think we settled for 350lb but might be wrong there.

Hovis the gtx kit on there is around £900+, you may be thinking of the gtz kit at around that price?

Haha no need to apologise - will find out in due course if they do their job when I get a few more track days with it

Would you look at that. It was the other Outhere Brother that asked the question.

Looking good Andy, glad that shagged seat base now takes the weight of something
