Title: My New Rally Car
Post by topnotchrally on 01/06/13 at 20:15:16

Hello All,

Some here may remember me, I used to run a neon green VW Scirocco more than 10 years ago. Glad to see rallying is looking heathly in NA, rallying is strong here in NZ.

I now live in NZ and after two years here doing tarmac hill climbs and bent sprints in an uncaged Honda I have finally bought myself a caged tarmac rally car. It's a 1994 Peugeot 106 ClubSport, basically a tarmac version of a 106 Rallye. 1300cc 8v 100hp@7000rpm 1800 lbs. It's done Targa NZ 3 times and will hopefully do it again one day :-) It's faster than I expected. Needs a bit of work, first event should in March I hope.

Cheers,
James

Send it back! It has a defect. The steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Cage does not extend to the base of the windshield, and only one doorbar? Rules over there must be very lax... :P

I was running with no cage and doing more than 170km/hr on a closed public road. :-) I'd say this is much safer.
