Action shot from service on Malton Forest Rally at the weekend the nova having electric issues not working the starter motor, with power at the starter decided to quickly swap out the starter incase of a stall in stage but no change on the car so had to bump start it out of service. Something to sort after the event, think there’s a few electrical issues to rectify

Unfortunately an early finish on the trackrod today, fuel pump decided it no longer wanted to play after SS5 so had to go rescue after langdale, get it home and new fuel pump fitted

Weve also had Local Joe in touch about his Trackrod Car.... What an epic mix weve had this week huh!!
SO MANY MORE to be seen tomorrow here at NY500!! Were so Excited!

Joe let us know - Its a Vauxhall Astra Gsi 16v Mk3, 1997, it the left the production line straight to Dick Archer at Wizzard Motorport to build for the Group N British Rally Championship with Stuart Egglestone, finishing 1st in class on Pirelli Rally 97 and with Daniel Harper finishing 7th overall on Mull Rally 1st in Class in 98 among other notable results. Still with the original shell, since then has been developed into a Group A car with a race engine redlining at 9000rpm on jenvey throttle bodies, a quaife dog box with L*D, 3 way pro flex suspension, with rear coilovers. Alcon 4 pot front brakes and electric power steering. With a recent full bare shell rebuild by JoeRallySport, where you can follow the car throughout future events on Instagram. 38 year ago Stuart and Steve made the roadbook for the rally Yorkshire and 37 years ago since they first did the event also in a Vauxhall Astra. I do believe they’re first in the road on Saturday morning...

Epic Joe - have fun, good luck and see you tomorrow!!

We’re on YouTube - 6R4 Trackday Highlights

Today was the first run-out for the 6R4 in over 2 years and boy it did not disappoint. A factory-built MG Metro 6R4 still retaining the original chassis numb...

Thankful for the design of the DAM GTi 6R4 with the full back being able to lift away it helped sort the sticking starter motor issue more easily with the limited space around the engine

The Metro blew off the cobwebs yesterday on the 6R4 track day what a dream to see it in action

20/06/2022

Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be, this is
where the metro stayed on Sunday morning with an unwell driver we couldn't make the sprint. It's unavoidable and obviously need to be at full health to handle this beast. It will be out in the future that's for certain !

JRS have a little secret, we may have a subtle Metro 6R4 hiding somewhere 🤫…. Watch this space, it might have an outing soon 🫣

Some of the work JRS has carried out on the
Astra over the past years.
Before, during and after, the final result looks so much better !
New race engine, dog gear box, gel battery and relocated inside the car, solid gear select, engine wiring loom, exhaust manifold, alloy radiator, silicone coolant hoses, race thermostat, solid engine mounts, thermostatic oil cooler, air filter and backing plate, relocated fuel filter and regulator, header tank, plug leads, coil pack, steering arms, pedal box, electric steering column to remove hydraulic pump andlines.
All worked fitted by JRS and even a fresh paint under the bonnet in the process. Spot the difference.
