Rally Car at MRC Sat 12th Jan 2008 AND Next Raly

[Pembo]

Just to say my rally car will be down at MRC on Sat 12th January for a wideband check and remap after a winter tinker.

The next rally for the car will be the North West Stages based in Blackpool on 16th February 2008. www.nwstages.co.uk
The rally is one of the few multi venue rallies using 6 different venues in the Blackpool area. Venues include Blackpool Promenade, Weeton Army Camp, Clifton Water Works, Lytham Hall and Pontins Holiday Camp where the rally is based. There will be 85 stage miles and 120 road miles with 120 cars on the entry list with some WRC and 6R4s. We are promised 6 stages run in the dark including the Prom!

All forum members are welcome to come along and support, just make sure you say hello! This year as always all sponsorship and fund raising will go towards Marie Curie Cancer Care and I will be setting up a justgiving.com web site for this.
Might see some of you on the 12th January and others on 16th February. If you need further details of the rally just post here and I'll be happy to respond.

Thanks to MRC for their continued support throughout the year and their technical know how.

Good luck Pembo - I *really* miss the rallying days. Must cost a fortune to run an S2 as a rally car. All credit to you and the crew !

Hey - I've just seen your pics with the funky headlights - I've been thinking about those a while but always figured they'd look pants. They look phooking great on yours - bit reminiscent of a Lancia actually. I guess you did it to max out the rule on 8 forward facing lamps.

Are those the Moretti units - what bulbs and stuff ?

This one for example -

Yep they are indeed Morrette but I have early 'flat' bonnet. The photos with the lamp pod on is how it runs at night. Each lamp has proper HID too. Headlights just run normal bulbs and are just OK compared to HID. They do look great though.
The car can be expensive but do all the work myself to keep the cost down and it is great fun against much more expensive machines and it is something different.
There is a UR quattro sat in my garage awaiting time (and money!). It is an ex sprint car soon to become tarmac stage car No2. I'll load photos up here but how can I get my own gallery?

Are the Morette headlights H1 bulbs ?

If so - I could swap my HIDs over.

Also - what are those white 5-spoke rims - Compo's, Speedlines or OZ - any spec details - weight and offset particularly ?

Not too sure if they are H1's or H7's and not too sure now what bulbs I put in!
I use mainly Compomotive MO5's and I have some Raceline RL5's (Look similar) Note that they are 4 stud x 108 PCD with a stud and nut conversion. Don't use bolts. Reason is there are more 4 x 108 wheels about! 6R4, Cosworth, Peugeot etc. Offsets are mixed too 28 and 35 and others! All are 8" x 17" as plenty of 17" tarmac rally tyres are out there in various compounds. Have about 20 all together but need more.
Full specification of the car available as MS Word document just PM me.

4x108 hub shocker - the sacrilege

[WabTheKing]

as usual i will be there chasing in the A4, spanners in hand!!!!!

[Pembo]

Well, the rally car went to MRC and was found to be too weak not too rich as I thought. Time to buy a wideband air fuel data logger I think! Many thanks to Doug and Minhea who was in France accessing my files and making the adjustments. Car is all set for the next event the North West Stages on 16th February in Blackpool.
Dont forget to sponsor me at www.justgiving.com/rallyquattronws2008
