1982 mk1 sierra track car. WRC
Welcome to my project thread.
This my track car.
The spec should be;
200 bhp pinto,
330mm front brakes with ap 4 pots
909 coilovers,
rose jointed rear beam,
17" imolas with kuhmo rally tyres (not road legal),
roll cage,
Cobra monaco buckets with harnesses,
fully stripped out no sunroof base model shell,
polycarb windows etc. etc.
However, money is tight due to a lack of work so the cage, coilovers and beam are up for sale. But the car is booked on at oulton park on the 6th of november so it will be done one way or the other.
I will be getting on with it this week.

Been down the unit for a few hours this evening. Tapped the ap's to accept standard sierra fitment brake lines, fitted a treat! Then had a go at the bleed nipples, both sheared off on one caliper! So more work required.
Granada cos hubs, and yellowstuff pads are on route, so moving a bit forward, a bit back.
Sussed out the throttle cable for the bike carbs, as the one fitted to the engine was from a capri, and the sierra pinto one is too short. Sierra v6 is plenty long enough, but means swapping accelerator pedal to suit.

Well not a lot has changed with this, but i have some repair panels arriving thursday, the hubs will be sorted tomorrow, and the brackets for the ap's sorted by the end of the week, then its m.o.t. time.
I have owned this car for approx 2 years and have only driven it 500 yds!

This one is quite tidy. It`s had a couple off small patches here and there.Generally not bad for an old rally car that gets abused!! Actually it`s had more different engines than patches so it`s doing well !

Brigsport could you please show me a picture of the inlet manifold for the i4 2000 so I can see if it is similar to my 2300 i4? I think the 2300 has a different waterway location for the thermostat.
