Im on 4 times on the circuit then 2 times on the rally stage

Maybe then i dont know this is what i read:

What cars are eligible?
It is very important that the event retains a rallying theme throughout. Hence we ask that all participating cars on display and on track have a connection with rallying. We do not require club cars to be actual rally cars, just the make and models to be synonomous with the sport e.g. Mitsubishi Evo, Ford RS, Subaru Impreza, Peugeot 205 GTi, Sunbeam Lotus, Mini Cooper, Audi quattro, Lancia Delta Integrale etc.


Then same site i read this:

Only rally cars are eligible, but they can be anything from a grass roots low budget cars to a full spec World Rally Car. The car will need to meet the circuits strict 100dB limit and driver and passenger must wear helmets and have their arms and legs covered.

All on there main site

Jackman 14th September 2008 19:51

Yea i've just read the site.

I have the word Rallye in my car therefore it has resemblance to a Rally car :)

Says 205 GTi's so im guessing there won't be a problem!

Is your car on a stand mate?

No wont have chance to work on it on a stand i will be in and out every hour!!

It will be in the pits next to the van

MaRiO89 14th September 2008 20:40

Jackman you wont have any problem..

They cannot possibly argue that yours isn't rally themed!!

If they did though, i would have to shoot myself..

MJRallying 14th September 2008 20:41

Cool car you got there guys! Only just seen this thread, any news??

Hopcraft 12th November 2008 19:26

Yeah thats pretty cool.

I'd do some tidying up, and wind down the front 5-10mm too.

Foggy 12th November 2008 22:44

Spray it white! Hahahahahaha

Not sure Ryan tbh..We were on shite tyres, only went for abit of fun and to have abit more practice in the car..I would say around the minute mark..Not entirely sure though tbh..Was going well though..:)

MaRiO89 26th January 2009 18:28

Hey all..Been a long time!

Anyways..Quite a few things have happened with the 205..Has been completley de-stickered and re done with our first couple of sponsors..The carbs have been re-built and we now have a Pipercross airfilter on the Carbs, its not on trumpets anymore..Its had a good service and check over and all seems fine..We fitted our intercom the other day aswell and put a new bonnet on..Its been tidied up generally too..

Our first event will be on the 7th of Feb at Goodwood..Really looking forward to it and one of our sponsors specialises in motorsport media so we will have some good onboard action..We are alos having a website made atm..Our team is called MJRallying, will put a link to the site when its completed..

Took the car for an MOT a week or so ago and gave it a good 60 mile run, all seemed ok so we are all set..Also we were given some Kumho (sp) V70 soft compound tyres from another sponsor, got those fitted to our spare rims the other day..

We are just waiting on our Nomex overalls to arrive then we are ready to go! Entry has been secured for the event etc..

Here's a couple of recent pics, its alot tidier than when we first got it..

Aye it is indeed..All tarmac, its setup for that and thats what we want to do..

Mark is driving yes and i'm co-driving..We always had every intention to rally it, its un-driveable on the road on daily basis and mark sacrificed his road car for it..The first event cant come quick enough!

MaRiO89 26th January 2009 18:55

Will get some more pics tomorrow..Gona give it another good clean underneath etc..

TU-Tuning 26th January 2009 19:22

Foggy 26th January 2009 21:20

Glad you decided to update the thread after our chat earlier......

Looks a lot cleaner, and less cluttered now....

Tell Mark that Steve is coming around to the Down Ampney Stages thing, so a team entry could be on the cards, and if Colin gets there as well it could be a great fun filled day. John would be available to come and take shed loads of pictures as well, so will have a chat closer to the day....

Will chat before the 7th, but if you need any help, just ask.....

I like to keep myself busy so thought i would do abit of an update so people can see we are actually gona rally it..Will keep it updated as much as possible..

Yeah its alot cleaner than before..Alot tidier in places asell, still could do with a proper good clean so may have a go tomorrow depending on the weather..

I spoke to him about it today and he seemed interested..But yeah would be good for all of us to compete in the same rally like..

As for photo's that would be cool..

Dont you worry, if i have any questions you will know about it..:y:

Stefan 26th January 2009 22:11

i love it mate (Y)

MaRiO89 26th January 2009 22:15

Cheers..:)

MaRiO89 27th January 2009 11:12

Went out and grabbed some piccies..

Only things left to do before the event on the 7th of Feb will be a really good clean and thats about it..

The business end now with an airfilter instead of trumpets..





WillWood bias valve..



Rear interior..



Front interior..



Intercom..



Exterior..







Another small change will be front mudflaps as they are now a necessity for events..

Cheers..

Steve 27th January 2009 11:38

awesome dude, just wish a could afford something liek this :(

MaRiO89 27th January 2009 11:40

Cheers mate..

It is quite pricey..My brother foots most of the bill though..lol

Mrk1 27th January 2009 12:24

Wonder where this had got to! Love it, it's a proper little rally slag.
Its exactly what anyone with a track styled saxo wants to achieve (well imo).
Interior & engine look tidy, bet its quite an expensive car to maintain though!

Good luck with the event & keep us updated! :y:

Thanks..

Yeah your right, its got pretty much eveything a proper race car should have, you name it, its got it..From coilovers to an LSD to a cage..Its all there..The engine bay and interior are tidy, was very dusty inside when we got it from the rallies, but thats sorted..Uber cleanliness isn't a major concern though, aslong as its presentable and relatively tidy..:y:

It drinks fuel when you nail it..The power its producing from a 20 year old 1.6 8v engine is quite high..Its quite pricey to maintain..Main cost goes into service parts like oils and fluids etc which need to be regualry changed..It will get expensive if the diff goes or the engine lets go..The engine is very recent though, the head is full of brand new internals and the bottom end has only done a handful of events so it should be reliable for quite awhile..:)

I'll definatley keep the thread updated..Should have some nice onboard footage from the rally too..

Cheers, James

So that's where we are going wrong then..... lmao.....

I thought that they had to be spotless....... :zainy:

MaRiO89 27th January 2009 17:30

Haha..Yours is lovely..Its more concourse than rally..;)

The previous owner clearly spent more time keeping it running nicely etc than spending alot of time cleaning it..lol..

MJRallying 27th January 2009 17:57

Its been along time since i posted on here guys, been busy with work and fiddling about with the 205.

At alot of expense later i think were pretty much there now, competition licences all sorted etc, car is ready.

If anyone is local to Goodwood Race Circuit thats where we will be on the 7th Feb if anyone wants to pop along and watch etc....spectators are FREE!!

Ryan 29th January 2009 00:18

might be down goodwood that day 'visiting' the gf.

One thing re the carbs, surely running trumpets into a filter would not be better no? having a longer inlet tract.

MaRiO89 29th January 2009 13:12

Pop round if you get a chance..

With carbs i think its one or the other..Besides the trumpets wont fit under the filter i dont think and the plate that bolts to the carbs wont go on with the trumpets in position..
