Tempest Rally

You want to try driving the thing as it spits all that noise out beside you and then backfires under deceleration just for you to put the pdeal down again.
I hope I dont get to itchy feet this weekend or I might have to get another tin top to replace the westy....if anyone would buy it

It sounds awesome mate - envy.

Maybe Dibs but boy what an experience - I mean, even I\'d have to shave a couple of feet from the midriff to fit in. :cool

Ok. Big day today and we were a bit short of marshalls today so I had to do some work. I got no pics of the car but I can tell you it is a 79 and is really well put together. Its got some  good stuff in it which I would expect after talking to Jacob at length about the who,s and whats of where some of the bits came from. It sounded absolutly fantastic as he left the start line.


As for the 2 ltr class
They used to run in the 1400cc class but that has now been changed from what I understand and they now run in the up to 2000cc class. My one always ran in that class for sprints. You can take a 2000cc car and enter the class above if you so wish. This is good for several reasons some of which are there could be less cars in that class and it will then give you a greater chance of taking home some silverware, you can run bigger wheels and tyres. If I had a RX7 rally car I would do the same.

Any idea what way the rx7 engine was ported?
