SRowells Black Rallye

[Eeyore]

So just been to see chambers. Gunna get a slap if I put the 1.8 in it. We had a chat about the car and plans etc. He is able to weld in the cage at a reasonable price and is able to weld the bulkhead for the cost of 3 hours work if the inside of the car is stripped before it gets to him. Apparently its common for the Rallyes to rot on the bulkhead and on the chassis legs but not the GTI6. Paint quality was Carls thought. Looks promising that I can get it all done relatively local at an affordable price.

Apparently a lot of Rallyes were company cars. Company car limit used to be around 15k which was how much the Rallye cost. The GTI6 was around 3k more expensive and once speced up was nearing 20k. After 3 years you could pick one with 70k up for around 7k.

Got some top tips for fitting core plugs and also track ventilation blowers. Had a closer look at the race 306s and a gti6 with bodies and an OMEX identical to how mine would be setup gets between 180 and 190. Carl already has a omex map for a bodied 6 so Ill be able to pick that up cheap!

Also for future reference in the Tin Top cup you cant modify your roll cage. The OMP 6 point cage is the cheapest and although bolt in requires mounts to be welded to the car. It clears the dash and the glovebox can open.
