Newbie Rally car owner (F2 Sunny, not a GTI-R)

Hi all,

Just thought I would introduce myself to the forum as I have just joined. I have recently purchased an NME spec Sunny F2 kit-car...... I know it's not a GTI-R but there aren't any GTI forums around (that I can find!).

Anyway, looking forward to getting the car out on the stages and picking up useful bits of info from here.

Pics of the car below.

Cheers

Chris

Looks awesome!

We are not just a GTiR forum anyway all are welcome mate. Looks like a good bit of fun that!

Welcome to the forum chris ..... car looks great .... what lump does it have in it is it the sr20de ???

Takes me back to mid to late 90's seeing them on the stages! Looks really good example mate. What rally's you looking to compete in? Welcome to the forum by the way!!

Thanks guys. Yes it's a proper SR20de kitcar engine, running over 260bhp, Hewland 6 speed sequential gearbox, monster AP brakes, proflex suspension, etc.

It needs a little bit of TLC but hoping to do 1 rally towards the end of this year as a test and then see what 2017 brings!

Hi and welcome.
The sunny looks ace!
Looking forward to some vids of your car in competition

Hi and welcome, car looks great! I have a mini as well as a pulsar and the guys still talk to me........sometimes

Welcome to the forum, great looking car.

Welcome to the forum and glad you did not find a Gti forum or we would not of got to see your car which looks a good it of kit love anything rally based. As said this forum is about Gtir's but we appreciate anything with a engine inc bikes and even a few things without engines

Any engine bay pictures please

Hi Chris, welcome on board.
I have a Sunny Gti with an SR20ve engine. Hoping for a 210bhp run next month.
What a car I must say, this thing must fly then.
Guessing its not road legal?
Did you buy this from Abi in Berkshire?
I will pm you tomorrow about things.
Rep point from me mate

P.s can you also let me know the dimensions of your exhaust system.
2inch, 2.5 inch, 3 inch?

Thanks all. Andy is yours a competition car or road car? This thing is frighteningly quick to be honest! It is actually fully road legal, all rally cars need to have a current MOT to be able to compete. I did buy this from Abi, I have known him for many years and have co-driven for him previously too.

I'm picking it up at the end of August / once my current rally car has sold (anybody want a very quick 1400 Suzuki Swift?!) so will get more pics and measure the exhaust then.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris, its for fast road use and shows now. Will post what power she gets soon when she goes in to be reborn.

Yes have know abi for years, bought this sunny off him years ago.
Deffo get some more pictures up when you finally get hold of her.

Hi guys, just an update, I will be picking it up around the 11th August (week after next) now that my current car just sold. The Sunny will also be on display at Rallyday at Castle Combe on the 24th September on the Samco stand.

Cheers

Chris

Bet you cant wait to pick her up ..... how did you manage to get on the samco stand ...

Cannot wait! I am good friends with a person involved in Samco and sponsored by them too.

Lol that would be that then .... and do you have samco hoses on everything lol ....

I had samco hoses throughout on my previous rally car and will have on the Sunny

More to the point can you get this club or me discount/ stickers etc ?
It's a good show please take pictures of your car there as some of us away that week so missing the show due to Nurburgring trip
