We just bought a 91J xr2i for us to rally next year in the 1600cc special rally stages. We've already stripped most of it and put some harnesses in.....
Thats as far as we got so far although we've got the full extinguisher kit ready to be plumbed in [not much use without a cage first though] we've also got the time booked with a mate to skim the head and lighten and balance flywheel.
Bare in mind we're doing this on a budget of less than how much I spend on pies a week [which is quite a bit] so has anyone got any useful bits knocking around them they want a little bit of cash for?
Wish list:
Full Cage [must be FIA approved so willing to pay full whack]
2 x Buckets [FIA]
4 Branch manifold
Twin 40's
Kent/Piper Cam
any 170x70x13's? Preferably Colway Road Plus or similar?
If any traders want to sponsor with a few bits we can put stickers on
my advice would be to sell it and buy something else such as a Nova or a 205 GTI.
everything is available off the shelf for these cars and as such will save you time and money.
The biggest cost is all the safty items.
i've built a 205 heres an idea of costs.
