Don’t know, I’ve never been any good at finding the budgets required to do engineering projects of that magnitude, while doing it at kit car level (no disrespect to this field by the way) is not something I currently intend to do. Either way, the project was/is a great fun and anything further from now one is a bonus.

Nice project NickRally. It’d be brilliant to see a modern 037 hitting the road, just like Michael Stoschek and MAT are managing to do with the New Stratos (http://www.manifatturaautomobilitori...s-limited-run/). You should present your project to them or to Key Sport guys, probably the current major authority on Lancia rally cars rebuild (http://www.keysport.it/). Good luck mate!Quote:

Talking about MAT, they are a great place to do such projects, although finding the budget is still up to me :). I actually met with them at the Geneva Motorshow in March and we had a good chat where they confirmed that small projects like the ones mentioned are right up their street.
Thanks for the other link, I will have a good look there.

Hi, guys! Maybe anyone have Opel Kadett E homologation book for N group (A group also would be good too)? And maybe could share it? :)

Try historicdb.fia.com, I'm sure they have the homologation forms there. ;)Quote:

Auto Car have had some good rally related articles recently. Been good to see. Shame they don't encourage more engagement in the current scene though.Quote:

Yep ask any none rally fan to name a driver n I bet Mcrae would still be the most common answerQuote:

Building a rally car?
That doesn't mean anything. If they were the real team with real goals they would sign him before M-Sport came and offered him a nice package. He is not that stupid. M-Sport have limited test days available because of budget. Citroenrab doesn't even have testing days. No upgrades at all. No payment for driving. But have huge pressure of axing drivers for crashing their bouncing/undriveable cars.

Not to be confused with the Fast & Furious-type junk movie with the same title released last year, 'Over Drive' is a Japanese-made drama about two brothers,(and the compulsory love interest girl!), one a driver the other his mechanic, competing in a domestic rally series with the ultimate aim of joining the WRC. No doubt, inspired (and maybe financed) by Toyota, it features quite a lot of stage action. Anyway, I am going to the premiere in Obihiro City tomorrow, so can post a critic of it here over the weekend. BTW, I can't recall any recent movies with a rally theme......was there a Jackie Chan one or was that more racing? http://overdrive-movie.jp/about/introduction.html
A '85 Volvo 245 sitting at my Grandfathers lap, maybe 8 yrs old? I had that car for several yrs when my oldest kid was born:)Quote:

I was only seven and the year was 1961, when my father let me steer our familys´Ford Taunus 17m, sitting in his knee, on the very small approach to our summer cottage. A few years later maybe 13 I was allowed to drive Opel Rekord 1900 -66 on narrow gravel road while my parents was beside in the forest looking for chanterelles.
When I was fifteen I had my first real slide also been allowed to drive on small road while my father walking beside. Opel Rekord 1900 -68. Very lucky moments.
Many Opels since that I´ve driven...
at 13 i almost tottaled my fathers Lada 2101.At summer cottage,my mom was sleeping,took the keys she had hidden into a tree(lol) outside the house,and push the car some 200 meters,to dont listen the engine.Quote:

All that when suddenly after some years my father told me that he knew it from when happened.
Maybe my worst day in my life.

for me it was a Jeep Willys from WWII, probably aged 8-10 :)
Have to say it is probably one of the greatest "car" you can learn driving with. doesn't go too fast but enough to appreciate the speed, 3 gears + 1 reverse, and very simple mechanic...
And after that you only driven 4WD Mitsus? :) :)Quote:
