Every year I enter this (i have too much free time :lol: )… it’s a good laugh! 2009 I bought a smashed 200sx but missed the final as they changed the dates. They ran it at PPC in the park but messed up the timing. They then re ran it but I was away. My Dad was joint 1st with his 200sx powered MX5
Last year I bought a damaged Celica GT4 and won it… this year needs to be the same ;)
So keeping in the clio spirit I thought id start with this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-RENAULT-CLIO-16V-BLACK-/280711929157?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item415bbc1d45
Doner car £300 (mates rates) ;)
MOT £40
So £660 to spend…..
But there is serious compotition so what do you think…..
Turbo the 1.8 and risk it
Rwd it (front engine or MR)
Or 4wd it….
Anyone wanna help?? ;)
The event it 1/4 mile time added to a circuit time (approx 44seconds combined)
so it needs to be nippy! the circuit is tight cones on tarmac :wink:
