Nick

I notice the rally stickers/plates are being applied "dry", which can often lead to wrinkles / bubbles. In the Lancia I alway took a "Fairy" bottle of soapy water with me, and fired it over the area you were going to stick the rally plate on. I'm sure you know the process, ensures a perfect fit every time :)

Would like to see pics of the sump guard mounts, just to see what you had to do to get them fitted.
Cheers

Mike

Glad to see you're taking every chance to save a bit of rubber, Nick :P

Any burn marks on the rear guards?


Keep her lit :alien:

Looking great, Nick 8)

Squatting down nicely on the exit with what looks like very little clearance on that rear arch?

Where d'ya finish then?

Oh, and did Waldegård have a go :?:

Currently running without AR bars and yes there is a minor mark on the LHS arch, despite them being rolled. I have 235/50 tyres on 9" rims. I will now try 15mm bars front and rear, I don't want the roll too stiff as I like to feel the car moving.
Where d'ya finish then?
It's not a competition, honestly! We retired after 3 stages. I'll let Bjorn have a go later in the year :wink:

Great to see an attack attitude!
Certainly interesting comment about the roll bars. Food for thought.

Drive it like you stole it.

Nick, what black finish is that on the exhaust box, have you had it specially coated or is it just VHT paint?
Sorry to here about the trailer theft by the way.

Had the headers ceramic coated inside and out by Cam-Coat in Warrington, but be interested to know what you put on the box.
