Starting to get a few questions about the car now.
So to stop any other threads going off topic, I thought I would start one.
Its not my car its my Dad's, my little bro drives it and I do the chase car

 

For more details you can look at the web site in my sig.
And if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

 

Awesome car, was it this one I saw at the Somerset Stages last year?

Edit: Just looked at your site and it was, I got these pics of it.





Loads of people were loving it wondering what the hell was under the bonnet

 

I like the top one.
I never get see it, as I'm always trying to get to the next service.
That was a good Rally. The tools at the fueling point put the wrong bloody stuff in though, which screwed up the pump for the next rally.

 

Very nice

 

Car looks really awesome !

And top specs, too !

 

I like that

 

Did you get any picture off the rebuild after Charlie rolled it?
Stuart

 

Keep an eye out in the new mags next week.

I think my oldman might have some pics. I lost most of mine when the HD in my laptop shat itself.
The bit that was a real ball ache was having to redo the roll cage.

 

Ive got some pictures my phone if you wanna add them to this thread???

 

Here's a vid of us testing up at Bill Gwynnes just before the Bulldog Rally.

Feel free.

I lost thousands of pics.

 

wow

thats is awesome

 

here it is going bye bye, and forcing the re-build.

 

has this car got a cat three log book from the MSA ?

and how do you get through scrutineering with that fuel tank ? ah ive noticed the outer skin thats fitted in other pics, thats how

very cool car though

 

Love it!!!

 

Whats the plans next year?

 

Yes.

Only ever had one problem with scrutineering, and that was on the first rally we did with it.
2mm gaps in the weld at top of the roll cage, that you cant see because of the roof.
Went back to the van, drilled fucking great holes in the roof and welded it up.

 

love it well done !

i suppose the dimensions of the fiesta suit the cat 3 rules but the car i was gojng to do didnt, the problems are that the scrutineers dont know the rules properly themselves so make it up half of the time.

nice work pal

 

Jesus titty fucking christ, that is the worst.
I've spent hours in the past flicking through the blue book.
You would think they would do the same.

And cheers.

 

Good crash, I'll give you a 10 for effort

 

charlies car!! awesome, say hello from me, glad to see he's still out there doing it

Ben

 

Talking about it at the moment. Not really sure at the moment due to things like, money, Charlie wants spend a bit more time his daughter, my old man's doing some bulding work on house.


Cheers Ben, Charlie was only talking about you the other day.
His going to be in the same issue of PF as he was the first time.

 

awsome car mate

 

Cool! He's come a long way since the blue XR!

All the best for next year,

Ben

 

awsome car m8 hell of a crash must be great fun

 

awsome car mate, shame about the crash, you got any pics of the car afterwards?

 

Brilliant car dude, shame about the big off moment, but hey ho its rallying!

 

where did you get the JWRC panels from for the car?

 

I lost all my pics when the HD in my laptop packed up.
The only ones I've got left are the ones that I put in Photobucket.
Stuartrsturbo sent me two he had on his phone, I'll get them up tomorrow.
What you cant see in the vid is the river at the bottom of the drop.
A tree stump stopped the car half way down.
The JWRC panels are the real deal from M-Sport. If they need to be the real carbon kevlar panels or they would be in bits just from the launch.
Infact they are that good that after the crash only had to fully replace one. The car is mega strong.

 

Car looks the stunning mate


Brian

 

Thanks to Stuartrsturbo for pointing me to these pics on my bro facebook page.
Never look at his page as I speek to the tool every day. lol

Below the ledge it finally stopped on was another 20 feet into the river.


Fuck knows what Im chatting about in this pic, probably say
"Its not that bad".

Me, Helmet, and my bro.

 

No worrys i did have more pictures for some reason cant find them

 

For all those that have not seen yet, we are in Performance Ford beating the DORF.

As usual any questions?

 

jesus christ! you couldnt have crashed in a worse place! glad everyone involved it ok tho!

awesome car tho

 

hi m8 great car is that a wrc cast exhaust manifold on your motor ?.

 

Yep.
Its mainly GrpA, with a few select WRC parts, and a fair few custom parts.

Ive personally never been happy with the air filter, but if we put it under the headlight it sucks up too much water and shit off the stage. So more function over form.
The full spec is on the site & in the mag.

 

who did the shell fab work to fit the 4x4 engine and box etc as im looking for prices to get mine done

cheers
marc

 

Im sure A1 rally sport did all the fab work. Might be wrong but ive sent Charlie a message to get him to answer any more questions you might have

 

thanks mate,

i thought the front and rear turrets looked indentical to the a1 silver fiesta, and i actually emailed them earlier for a guide price etc,
