Yes, I've moved on from Fireball and now have traded/purchased what I will be calling:
THE KRAKEN (because it's black)COMING SOON TO A RALLY STAGE NEAR YOU, BEWARE ITS TURBO DESTROYING POWERTHE HORROR Now that's out of my system..
It's a 1998 2.5RS with a newly rebuilt motor, I'm optimistic on the power, but anything will be a power upgrade from my tired 2.2
if you're familiar with Rally, it was Matt Charlton / Martin Burnley's car that had issues at Cochrane 2015. It's been around in the scene for a bit.
Azam at CAMS had rebuilt the car and has been getting it ready, new clutch and rear main seal, transmission mounts, swapped seats and belts and fire extinguishers over and in general a nice refresh of the car. The cage has also been updated, with new cross bars at the doors and behind the seats, so I get a brand new logbook!
First event in the car will be the Big White Winter Rally, which, regardless of how it sounds, is not a racially motivated event.
Pictures and videos soon...
