Thought I would do a little update on my car. Basically im turning my 1.0 12v Corsa B into a low budget rally slag car. Its been debadged already, and ive just primed all of the steelies to go white. Plans for when i get the money is - lower it 40mm, put rally mudflaps on, GSI spoiler with 3rd brake light, different rear lights, and mesh the front bumper. I also need to paint the plastics black becos they have turned nasty shades of grey!! Once it has stopped raining and ive got a chance to wash it, i will post pics up.

Sounds like good plans mate. You could get an X16XE for cheap as well, theres probably one for sale on here.

Why, if he wants to make a low budget rally car then he should. There's no reason not to.

Im keeping the same engine in. Too much hassle and money to get a new engine in there. This post isnt a joke, just in caseu were wondering. U dont need a 1.6 in ur car to have fun!!!! Im going to make it look a little diff from the rest of the cars you usually on the road. So what do I care if ppl think it will look a bit stupid, my car, my rules. Once its finished I will be posting pics up so you can alll see what ive done with it.

The term "Rally Slag" has a bit more menace to it than a GSi tbh And completely stripping one out, and doing everything but the engine seems a bit excessive.

But that's the rally look then, not a rally slag...That's like going for the Turbo style, with a 1.2 8v and an electric dump valve. I'm not shooting the lad down for doing it, it's his car...Whatever he likes, then enjoy it. But I would disagree with the term "rally slag" for a 55bhp Corsa.

Mongol rally is for only 1 litre cars 
The 1 litre Rule:
You can only use a car with an engine of 1 litre or less that is generally considered to be crap. If you want to go on a motorbike (ideally a scooter) they are limited to under 125cc. We're an amicable bunch though, so if you're desperate to use something bigger you can be accommodated, but you will be fined £100 for every 0.1 litre above the limit, payable straight to the charities.

Read my reply 2 minutes before Charade GTi's are slightly different from a 1.0 Corsa. If you can find me a STANDARD 1.0 12v rally car, I will actually eat my hat.
