Hi 131 fans!!!
I am going to bring to life a 131 rally car(hopefully)
I will be building a group2 forest spec car, so will be retaining the rear axle 5 linked setup, i will be needing some parts which no doubt i won't find without help from you guy's.
I will list a few things i will need, anyone with info on these parts please let me know if you know where i can buy them, also if anyone know's of any other parts i will need please feel free to post about them also.
first main things are...
1.gearbox/gear kit for rally use, straight cut or dog box etc(will be tuned 8v 2.0 twin cam tuned to max 200 bhp so advice on box needed)
2.LSD Unit for rear axle, inc. crown wheel and pinion, uprated stronger half shafts?
3. rear rally springs and shockers,
4. front suspension setup? as per grp4 i think is aloud for group2? also good shock spring setup/combo
5. brake options? front and rear uprated ones, not sure wether rear callipers are aloud for group 2 ? if so what kind ?
6. roll cage will be required ASAP as too bolt in when car shell being modified, i can have a local guy do this but if i can buy one it may be quicker.
7. will be hopefully pulling all the dash out and converting to group 4 (like some i have seen on here)
This will be enough to get me started so if anyone can help me with info on this i will be most grateful, i am especially interested in any any pictures and information on group2 rally cars please get in touch if you have any info on a historic spec group2 car.
I plan on building it to rally in the historic class so will need too be correct to do this, (i would love group4 car but funds just won't allow it) so group2 will be the way forward, either that or build an open class car with modern components and convert it too independent rear using bmw or similar diff setup and use escort type grp 4 setup on front.
Thanks in advance
Kenny.
