Beg to differ on the mk1 golf anti roll bar fitment. I have a mk1 race car and a cordy rally car both parked alongside each on eibachs and they are not the same.... Jon

Excellent advise rallychief. There is a danger of over thinking this. Get out and do it. Improve what needs improving after your first event. It will be so obvious its unreal. Spectate, discuss with competitors, marshal, loads of good info just waiting to be got. There is ample opportunity to...

Hillclimbs: Its over in 2 mins, so my view is you don't need a lot of the high end trackday stuff. The brakes must work 2nd push, so no hard pads. Smaller discs are easier to steer, gauges?, you will never look at them , but the use the best rubber regardless of price.... Jon Done a few: good fun

Different. I have had both on the bench, still have the mgf ones, nice kit and cheap.. But not so adaptable to fit Jon

Cordy tarmac rally car. That's something you don't see every day! It aint no show queen Jon

Cambelt end of the 1400 16V is a bit weak in my opinion. Make sure you have replaced both belts and all tensioners/water pump before doing any serious rally work. From recent experience of an AUA Jon

Jack Frost: GTIR: 26th OA. Hoping for better, but that's where we ended up... Jon

20th overall enjoyable day Jon

So fit new ones.......... A rally (65 miles) uses just over half a set of fronts, so its not a difficult decision. DS3000 rock also, I use more 3000's but I did a very very fast rally in the cordy on 2500's and was very impressed with the bite and progression. 3000's are a lot harder to...

Ds2500 Basically yes. Its on DS2500 now with 280 G60's. But for snow I have 14 and even 13 narrow rubber than will mean 239mm discs, so they will fit over. The DS2500 fit the early calipers and are likely to be better than the green stuff rubbish in there now (spare set) Jon

Spoilt for choice. Cordy, GTIR or mk2 Golf: all ready. May use the Cordy for Jack Frost (croft again) : sunday 19th Jan If it snows it'll be the mk2 Jon

Xmas stages: Croft : weeks time : 28th http://www.rally.ie/stories/131106-092508#131218-093410 Car 51, very non VAG : GTIR. White/blue stripe Wrap up warm!!!! Jon

Get in touch and I'll get you in for free! (spare competitor pass) Not sure which car I will be running, but the entry is in and accepted! Jon

Ready to rock Car ready MOT'd and everything Awaiting a weather report for Xmas stages and Jack Frost (both Croft) rallies. Hankook T91's I think instead of X22! Jon Gearchange quality still very poor

Passenger side door bar can go............

satin black, just like a proper competition car

Box back in, next event may be Xmas 2013 stages again. Must spend some dosh on proper rubber. X22 CR311's probably

Outcome... Albermarle... Well it was all going swimmingly.............. 4 stages down (of 8) Pair of new front 888's about finshed in 38 miles. Credible 19th overall. Then a funny transmission noise pulling away from the timecard collection point of stage 4. Noise way too serious...

Wheels gone. Next rally in the cordy sunday 7.7.13 Scrutineering tomorrow Turnbull trophy, Tynemouth motorclub, Albermarle military barracks. Near Hexham £5 per spectator 80 miles of fast tarmac, very abrasive, very fast Did ok last year Jon
