I had the opportunity to acquire this car which is quite well known here from a mate who didn't have the time to use it. She'd been standing outside for a while in something of a sorry state, but after a few fixes and lots of polishing, I think she looks much happier ![Smile](https://bbs.rallyesportescorts.co.uk/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
Car was originally an RS2000, substantially rebuilt (bare metal respray up) five years ago, and used very little since. Not full motorsport spec by any means, but nevertheless quite a harsh drive on the roads, so reserved for short(ish) B road blasts and track days. It has a Honda S2000 engine and six speed box, which is hilarious fun revving to 9000 rpm (BDA thrills without the cost!). Suspension, steering and brakes upgraded to the usual tarmac rally Mk2 spec as well.
I'm also looking to do some "gentle" competition, ideally hillclimbs and sprints - although initial investigation is looking a bit pessimistic, the engine swap means I think I have to run in Sports Libre class which means lots of complications with licenses and car spec (six point harnesses for example). If anybody has any ideas for events (not rallys as I have no mates and am looking for a more family friendly day out, or multi-car races as she's too nice to get punted off by somebody else!) I could enter without having to significantly change the car I'd appreciate it.
