I have a 1.5l Festiva manual and with a little bit of work I think it would go alright. Just need to tweak the hand brake a bit.

That's an option. Festiva would go good. A bloke who ran VMC in F the last few years is going to run one in A this year. I think he runs it in G5 and has done pretty well in it. I'm kind of set on a Swift if I do get up in C though.

A new possibility has emerged for A. The Daihatsu Mira/Cuore

Just found out the Australian Motorkhana and Khanacross c'ships are being held on the same weekend! What's up with that? I would've liked to have competed in both. Very annoying.

Nice planning there.........

Just posting cos I haven't for a while. A couple of weeks out from the first round, and I still haven't been able to put in a hydraulic brake yet. I tried to start it last week, but the battery is flat. Finally bought a pair of jumper leads on Friday. There's not much you can really do, isn't there?

Never bothered with a hydraulic handbrake. Standard jobbie worked well enough

Mine doesn't.

Suppose rwd with a locker helped it spin around ;) there were some tests that I wouldn't have to move the steering wheel much, I just used the throttle to steer the car.

Drums or discs on the rear? I've found over the years that machining the drums is more effective than any other mod.

a good deglaze never went astray either.

Drums. Would it really make the difference? Usually whenever I receive advice, it amounts to nothing. Adding a hydraulic brake seems reliable and minimal long term fuss.

If your drums are out of round, adding a hyd handbrake will make no difference. I have a hyd handbrake, and they're not the be all and end all. They're also illegal for road use.

 

Let's put it this way, it can't hurt to have them machined. And throw a new set of shoes at it while you're there.

Your, you're.

What Red said.

Discs - front. Drums - rear. Does that make a difference?

 

There' s a practice meeting on Sunday. Tbh, I'd prefer to watch the 12h
