Stock Rod Advice

[Li'l pugs]

Just a quick question:

Friend of mine is contemplating joining the Stock Rod series, 1600cc non-contact banger racing. The regs state 1600cc normally aspirated engined cars, no engine mods, exhaust standard to downpipe, suspension standard etc. So what would you buy ?

He's been looking at Fiesta XR2 or Orions.....any other suggestions ?

Cheers

Paul

MK1 MR2. RWD, mid engine, FANTASTIC handling, 1600cc 8,000rpm red line as standard on later versions (7400 on early ones)...

Fantastic idea !!!! Which brings me, unfortunately, to a point I missed...........must be either saloon, coupe or hatch but no 2 seaters.

Thanks anyway

Any chance of picking up an early 106 gti or saxo. Possibly from a salvage company with light accident damage....

On autotrader. Hondas 1.6 must be reasonably pokey..(not sure about the suspention though...)

See original post........Normally aspirated ! So no GTI, SRI etc.........

Not as easy as he thought either. A decent sized, quickish, non injection 1600cc !
