Ive been building this ZR 160 Rally car over the last year or so. Ive posted the progress on a few other forums so thought I would give people on here some info and pictures now.

Comments welcome. Just need a sponser now to get the more expensive parts done.

Well this is how it starts, not been used for 5 months, TAX is gone and still runs good!

A dirty engine is a good engine! Fully re-build by Dave Andrews 2 years ago using the K06a - 170BHP kit for the VVC engine, www.dvapower.com

:lol: That is one proper random set of build photo's! Looks like everyone's having fun, though, even the dog!

I have to ask, too, what are you building it in? I can see in the background; lots of booze, a server rack (or something similar) and various pallets of "stuff"....

Looks like you work in a warehouse with your mates and decided to do this because you were bored. :lol:

Good effort though so far!

Lemme know how much for the seats, where are you located and what condition are they in?

Its a wine and spirit warehouse, that was a while ago now, got much more now. www.finewinesellers.co.uk (http://www.finewinesellers.co.uk) :)

Boot chopping up!
Before

Close but found a neater line to cut after marking it all out with the marker!
http://www.hortonracing.co.uk/webpics/mgtorallycross/boot/002.jpg
Getting there! Needs a clean but that the basic line.

Another few hours, Started removing some more of the loom, 1 door off, bonnett off, plastic vent trim in front of screen. Also ground down some bits bits that had started to bubble and put a thick layer of undercoat on.

But more stripping, that sound proofing is hard work to get out, used a hammer and flat screwdriver. Got half a wine box off so far!

Hopefully this gets the worst part of the job out of the way!

Cheers,

Fibreglass boot wil be at work in the morning. Will post some pictures up.

Looks like fun. Hope you don't change your mind!

I do feel slightly sad when I look at pictures before I started. Was a great car and never let me down in 4 years and 75k miles. Hope it does that on the track :)

Engine bay seam welded and the back suspension removed and checked with some re-taping of components. The sleve on the bottom of the shock had rusted to the bolt, this added about 2 hours to a quick remove and check :(
Shocks will be replaced with coilovers but need these to push the car about on.

After 3 hours of welding here are the results, its been stitch welded in some places so had to put a bit of sealent on in some places to keep the water out. Have to race in wales a lot and the track is always waterlogged.
Some of the pictures look like there is rust all over the place but its just the way the pictures have come out.

Awesome. :D

Shall I move this thread into "Show us your Projects" ?

Yes please.

That cage just looks mean. I think, really, you should just stick the engine and wheels on the cage and have some mad, crazy fun! :broon:

Trust me i would if i could :)

awesome thread mate keep up the good work :)

We are now in the 6th Year of using a MG ZR for rallying on the MSA National Asphalt Championship.

Was in Group A5 for 1400cc, but this year we have changed to N3 (1800cc). Same car, different engine -ECU etc. The old 1400 is now in the road ZR.


Hope you have a MSA Blue Book handy as it says how to build the car to the correct spec.

And any problems, ask and then I'll pick dads brain.

Cheers. I've done rallycross for a few years in a metro gti then a pug 205 gti. I've also got a national a race licence. Have you got any pictures of your car :)

Fibreglass boot just turned up too. Will post pictures on Monday.

Cage boxes all tacked in now and just removing the cage to be powder coated, the boxes will all be professionaly welded in (not my bird **** welds)

Both of the doors are chopped up too. Just prepairing the engine bay and welding up any spare holes that i no longer need.

Cheers. I've done rallycross for a few years in a metro gti then a pug 205 gti. I've also got a national a race licence. Have you got any pictures of your car :)

You mean my dads rally car, yes in my intro thread and in the Show Us your cars thread in the 200/25/ZR forum.

Its not my car its my old mans car as my car is a BRM and not a rally car.

Any comments people?

Any comments people?

Yeah, hurry up and get building! We need more progress pics! :lol:

What are you planning engine and drivetrain-wise for this beastie?

Engine is a Dave Andrews built 160 VVC engine, box is a ZR 160 one with steel caged bearings and a Type A rover coupe diff.

Any questions?

Yes, the windows look a little loose-fitting on those rollers... :dddc: :lol:

Where will you be racing this thing? Multi-surface, or just tarmac rallies?

Lol, yes will be rallycross mostly so will be loose mud/gravel and Tarmac/concrete. Will also do some sprints twice a year. May also take it to the pod. Can't see it being that fast on a 1/4 mile though.

Finish the build, I want to see the finished beast :D

Over the next 3 weeks it will fly along now!

I have booked a whole week off next week :)

If anyone wants to come down and watch or help feel free :)

Whereabouts are you?

I was wondering just the other day what had happened to this build. How's the progress up to now?

Whereabouts are you?

Bit of a treck for you. Chelmsford :(

I was wondering just the other day what had happened to this build. How's the progress up to now?

Not really done too much. Been time not cash for a change. Will make sure I take the camera down with me. I'm spending all Monday moving the warehouse around and setting up for body work before final weld and spray.

If i hadn't of just moved house i'd of come up for moral support. Can't wait to see it completed. You decided what colour you're going for?

White inside and out with an orange powder coated roll cage, rear beam.

Cheers for offer of help though :)

Warehouse now sorted out so im not tripping over myself.

Gearbox off, took about 2 minutes.

Engine onto new stand to be cleaned up and have belts done.

Clutch out of box, had done about 85k on the road, looks like it was just about shot!

nice work, would love the opportunity to do something similar to a car.

btw, what happened with the leather seats and passenger airbag?

Cheers mate, you can help if you want :)

The airbag went a year abo and the seats went about a month ago along with the green wheel. Anything else you need?

Just notice ive wacked the screen with the roll cage last night and smashed it :(. I will have to get a lexan margard one that doesnt scratch. I suppose its better that its happened now as glass screens only last 2 or 3 races and hunting for screens and paying for fitting wont be cheap!

Ive got all the cage boxes tacked in at last and just cleaning up for the final welding next week.

Then i have a few weeks of sanding before it gets paint.

there's nothing i actually need, but if you'd still got them i'd have been very interested. probably best that they've already gone :lol:

ouch, unlucky on the windscreen, the glass one could have at least been useful for testing had it not been mullered.

what colour you going for?

ok, so i may have missed that bit :err:

Any updates? Its been a couple of weeks?!!:lol:

Final welding on cage boxes and harness plates tonight screen is also being cut out for a lexan one too. Rocking now!

3 more weeks :badaboom:

Sorry guys, cage boxes all welded, harness points welded and screen is out. Just have ages of sanding and grinding now then paint soon! Im ordering up suspension and fibreglass bonnett in the next week.

What power is your engine pushing out now and what box you got on?

Its around 180BHP, its the DVA Power k6a pack with janspeed manifold and ITG carbon air box. The box is a VVC 160 with steel caged bearings. I have a Type A coupe diff but i may go Quaiffe.

Awesome. I've heard a lot of good things about Quaiffe.

Where are you getting the f/glass bonnet from ?

Motorbuild are the only people i can find, arc angels do a rover 200 mk3 but not a ZR

Some more goodies ordered. 60cm hydroloc hand brake, brake bias and rose jointed steering rack ends.

Quaife diff just arrived. Will shoot some pictures soon :)

Let me know what its like compared to the standard slip diff.

Will do mate.

Fibreglass Bonett is here :)

Nice.

In dads MG ZR rally car, he has a Quaife diff and gear kit in a PG1 box.

Cool, I have the Quaiffe diff and a 160 box with all the steel caged bearings. Not enough cash for a dog box yet.

Out of interest, what sort of weight does the normal bonnet weigh compared to that of the fibreglass one (KG wise)?

Wondering what sort of weight saving it is over the front wheels.

Standard is about 12kg, this is 6.5kg

nice build mate i live near chelmsford im near maldon

Cool, the car is in Great Baddow where I work. Pop over if you ever want to.

Just mounted the hand brake. Bolted a 3mm plate in front of the gear stick and mounted it at an angle there. It's rock solid and looks really neat.

Will take a picture tomorrow.

Love the build so far. Any updates?

Sorry guys ive left you in the dark a bit, Ive currently been collecting some more bits and getting the car ready for paint. Here are some pictures, sorry they are a bit low quality as the are on the IPhone.

Ordered some more bits from demon tweeks today. Getting the paint etc tomorrow. Bit more sanding then paint! Then it doesn't look like a banger racer anymore.

When its done i'm going to have to have a drive up and see it in person again!

Your more than welcome.

Just been to pickup the paint and primer. I've gone for 5 leiters of frosted white, it's the new ford colour. I'm friend has an s max in this white. It's really crisp and bright.

Love white bubbles! Anything been done recently?

Keep an eye here ;) won't be long. Just been chopping up the adjustment on the rack with the grinder and making a plate for the right position.

Car is now in the booth :) watch this space.

We now have paint, rest of the bits should be painted tomorrow ready to go back together. The inside and engine bay are done too.

loving the roll cage, how much do you reckon the insurance would go up for having one in a road car?

Nothing if you find the right insurance company.

And if youv'e done enough modification you could even class it as a kit car, seen insurance come down after doing that!

Have the whole day off tomorrow, hopefully get a few updates done tomorrow night. Need to get a load of stuff back from the powder coater.

Cage and seat all bolted it. Now its easy from here in!

Still looking good mate, when do you expect to have it complete? :broon:

Should be ready for August Bank Holiday. Im down spannering for my mate with the Subaru rallycross car on saturday at lydden hill. Can see your local to there.

Ahh yeah a mate was saying about watching the rally down there a few weeks back, will have to go myself at one point. Are you planning on driving once the Zed is finished?

Yes i will drive it on rallycross, hill climbs and sprints. May do a little drag racing but i cant see it being setup for that really.

Ahh nice one, where abouts are you mate? Be good to come watch you when the car is finished, if your down this part of the country.

Car is in Great Baddow Chelmsford, My first race will be at Lydden Hill Kent.

Got the pedel box mounted up, spent quite a while mounting the OMP Pedels as i didnt want the look like most ive seen fitted when they are all on the ****. Also got the wheel and shaft on. Just need to pop down the scrappy as ive lost one of the brackets that holds the shaft in.

Seems to be going together quite well, ive chopped all the adjustment out of the rack so its a bit neater and lighter.

You using the original ZR steering rack and suspension setup?

Same rack and AVO or Gaz suspension. Your diff is leaving here today. Have you still got your ZR?

When are you hoping to start testing and fine tuning it?

Cheers for that buddy! Yeah still got it, currently sat on bricks at my work =(

Car will be out in august, I will give it a shakedown on a track day and sprint before then though.

Haha, nah, only a few weeks away though but I'm not up at the weekend to put the gearbox back in, DOH!

How'd you do the hand? Eyeball vodka shots? :rofl:

Certainly is getting there, whats next to do pal ? :D

I like the strengthened bumper attachments! Ive never noticed them before. Is it a common rally car thing?

I really like it in white, if you're using it for rallycross it won't stay that way for long! http://forums.mg-rover.org/images/icons/icon7.gif

Not that common really, i like my bumpers to stay put so i dont run them over and have to paint new ones.

Well it works!

Nice! How did it do?

Nice! How did it do?

It never broke which was good. I did however have a sensor issue so i could only rev to 6000RPM. I had Z and F Racing map the ECU so it would have been nice to have used them all. Handled great though. Nice to have a proper diff compared to stock hatch that im used to racing in.

Cheers. Sure is :)

Great to see all the effort has paid off mate. :D
