I have toyed with the idea of building a rally X1/9 for some time and I am deciding now is the time to make a start
It is stage rallying primarily that I want to do but also hillclimb would be nice. I initially wanted to make a Prototipo replica but the MSA won't accept into the historic categories for rallying as it was never homologated, at best an original car might have been accepted on an event to event basis but seeing as buying an original car is out the question that lead me down a different path
You can enter any car under 'standard series production car' rules (section 48 rules in blue book). Having analysed the rules, entry criteria for rallies and even phoned the MSA to clarify rules I am satisfied I could build something quick enough and have it look like a Prototipo.
I am going to run a pre 82 car and use the 182A400 1.6 16V engine in rally spec and a H pattern gearbox as well as lighten the car to get down to the minimum weight limit (740kg).
Once I get going I am going to have lots of questions, at this point I am gathering key parts for the project. I hope to really get going later this year with making the modifications to the engine to start to get it ready for the X
