So, I bought a 1.4 Automatic C2J r5 for £175 as a donor for a few bits I needed. As a laugh I put it in for a test and it flew through, and it’s so good I now use it as the dog car.
I’ve also gone and booked a rally test day as I was about to purchase another rally car but then decided not to.
I’ve got an old r11 engine and turbo and gearbox on the floor of the garage... but then remembered Colin and project Camparse many moons ago...
my thoughts were ... nail on the manifolds, carb and turbo, hydro handbrake and have some hilarious one tyre auto fires at the rally day???
Any thoughts / issues I need to worry about???
I recon the mechanical fuel lift pump might need a little boost?
Renix???
kickdown switch?
