Scaffolding poles + old VW bits + Rotary engine....

We do a weekend with less than £500, including entry fee, tow vehicle fuel, race fuel, food, etc - and we probably travel a lot further than most to get there, some do it on a chunk less!
Of course, some of the top boys do it on a whole lot more, but they tend to be running through 4 tyres per event too...we're still running on the ones we bought at the beginning of last season.

And roughly what would it cost you per event? What's put me of stage rallying has always been the costs starting at 5-600 quid per event in fuel and wear and tear items in even the lowest categories.
How do these compare?
Temptation is a horrible thing......How do these compare?

Phonecall to say some shiny new go faster parts are finished, well, they need some grinding once I take some bits up to match 'em, but 99% there...
Taken bits up to have them finished off, so should hopefully have a nice shiny straight-cut gearset in our hands next week Bit of a chunk of cash for us, but not silly money, looking forward to that old-school rally whining gearbox
Quick check over the car reveals it's absolutely shagged the rear tyres at Walters though, huge chunks missing out of the tread
I've given up thinking of a 'spec' for it, it get's upgraded every chance we get, bloody thing gets more updates than the entire F1 field in a year*
Still got the fancy bit of the suspension to make yet but I'm getting distracted by cogs...I hate gearboxes....
