Default rally info

Hi, you will need ordanance survey maps 116 and 125
start is in grid square 05 43 map 125 on the main A5 between the junction aof A494 to ruthin and the A494 to Bala, if you get to a tight hump back bridge on A5 you have missed it, you should see a large catering van on left hand side with a farm behind it , that is where the start is.
more details here

cheers mark Car 11

You may have seen me in TURBORAY's classic turbo, reddish blue MY97, it did have a grey (primed) STI6 rear wing on until recently, t has been taken off for repairs and spray so the low level one is back on it for the time being!

Alternatively, you may have seen *Sonic* 's sonic blue stickered up classic in the area on Fridays and sunday's

[QUOTE=cefski]I'm further west, in Caernarfon.

Should be organising a testimonial type spin in a few weeks - a mate is getting rid of his Impreza (sensibility has apparently prevailed ) and wants to give it a good send off.

If anyone's interested, watch this space - planning to do the evo triangle and some choice roads round the Bala area.

hey cefski, the route from ffestiniog to bala is mental,have you been for a blast yet? , if not let me know when.
cheers (from a bala boy living on the coast)

No - not been yet.

Lots of good roads round Bala. The one that drops from Cerrig to Bala is nice, the B4391 from Penybontfawr is a corker, then there's the road to Festiniog. Spoilt for choice, chap!! And you moved from there to the coast???

Drop me a pm with your email and I'll keep you posted.

Cheers

Kev

the most help I can give you is tell you NOT to go to 3ways to get it fixed


Perhaps post a thread in general about it or something, or post on here (a new thread) asking for help changing it

Yep, done it a couple of times now, I allow a full day but that is on my own on my back in the garage.
Plenty of dramas possible with that job, how old is the car and what is it?

I just pull the box back enough to get at the clutch, Dont drop it out or you will never get it back in on its own , move it back on a trolley jack and wedge it in the tunnel while you do the clutch.
Its quite heavy
