slippy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 98 S Black Ford Ka 1.3i 97,000 miles FSH up unitl recently when I have been doing it 2 Owners (previous was a female Ford employee second was wor lass) Tax & MOT just ran out x4 good tyres still plenty left on them New battery two weeks ago (Thanks to the cold weather) Interior is reasonable only thing that lets it down is the radio volume does not work and there is a ciggy burn on the back seat other than that it's pretty clean Body work is ok for year bar rust around petrol cap and a spot on passenger door Sump needs replacing as has gone porous Could do with new brake pads up front It's no minter but it's a cheap and more importantly reliable little run about Offers around £600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippy Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thank you to Rob firstly for planting the seed and secondly for some useful info but I'm struggling to find out what I would need to do to 'Fatty' (That was our lass's name for him) to strenghten him amd make him reasonably competitive as I know fook all about Rally regs etc It's taken 3000 posts plus to gain the minimal knowledge I have of Westys Any guidance would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its fun You should carry a health warning Mr Navin Cheers Reaper the jury is still out for me on Triple 6 I think Motorscope might be a better option but then again I've been told it has changed hands so may not be as good as there reputation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippy Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Reet, I've been doing som serious mooching over the last few days as I just can't stop thinking about rallying 'Fatty' and I am considering doing a few road rallies first to see how I go then maybe look at moving on to Endurance/Stage rallying. One question for you Rob whats the difference between Enduro & Full blown stage rallying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
