Looking for Some Track Cars for an Event in 2012 must be Ford pre 1980 RWD N/A 4 POT

Nick i'll be there if my car's ready and it's a proper timed event . I'm not bothering if it's just a normal shite trackday though as trading paint with motors covered in stickers isn't worth the grief so i'd rather just get a battered old 4 door for those .
What about noise regs , are we allowed too make any or do we get chucked off for having race engines ?

iam get the vibe that someone is thinking of duckin out , dont worry my estate is street legal , comfy, on road tyres, and pump fuel,, it also breathes like an old train,, and it aint got any stickers on it,,, c u down there

And don't forget roof racked

A proper "comfy" is a normal car without any weight saving . So full factory style interior , steel panels , glass windows , bumpers , etc etc (no bits missing) .
All the track cars are normally stripped out and ride around on trailers so no comparison .

As i said earlier , i'm not bothered about doing shitty trackdays . If i wanted too race around on tracks then i'd have a battered shite heap covered in stickers that i didn't mind crashing . No point having a nice motor for track racing use in my opinion .

Weight saving?? Mines 50 kg heavier than standard mk1

Rick, we could throw a tow bar on the estate, trailer mine up there with it the use them both.. That'd surely make it comfy royalty

[mk1gaz]

Taking bits off is called weight saving , lol .

That's proper so I take my fully trimmed car fit 5 link kit , multipoint cage and the car weighs the same nice one

[mk1gaz]

It will weigh more if it has no weight saving/bits missing and then you add more bits . Link bars weigh less than leaf springs though .

But do they weigh more thank Link Boxes and Rods and suspension tower combined

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Well mine is full trimmed incl custom door panels, rear seat, full carpet

Only difference on interior is a roll cage and a pair of Sparco fat busted (Xl's) and Harnesses

Rear suspension is horse and cart spring

So mine must be classed a full fat comfy wagon !

An when my 10 st svelte body is in car it certainly aint no light weight !

Not sure if this is meant for me but i'll reply just in case .
As i've said twice already , i've not got a drag race car . I built a normal Escort road car that runs 12sec 1/4 miles at 109mph for fun on a set of 175mm wide road tyres .
If i had built a competiton car then it would weigh 150 kilos less (with half the car missing) so it would be faster at motorsport events .
I like road cars with heaters etc though so that's what i built . It still goes alright though .

I would think so mate .
