Hopefully you will see a Black OHC 1.5 in some rally too one day. |
Thanks Rohin... get yourself a dedicated car for rallying if you are planning on doing it seriously! Think about it!

Hey CarFreak, Thanks a ton! INRC seems possible, but WRC...(ahem!)
One day TSD rallying is burnt a hole in my pocket, big enough to consume a whole cow, let alone INRC OR WRC! Haha! But yea, MAYBE!
Cheers!

Esteem: 2014 is a long way to go, but it is used in the the raids. even this DS2011, we saw some amazing action on few esteems, while some broke down also
Gypsy: Mate, its next to impossible to source parts unless your up in north (which I presume you are)
Baleno: I love that machine, no disadvantages at all. yeah its quite expensive - but there are worth more rallies than the esteem, faster than the gypsies!! Nowadays we have 1.6lts engines in both the esteems and gypsies been plonked specially for the raids and INRC.
You went for a GYPSY!!! |
Hey Twinn, hope the gypsy is coming along well! I did go for an Esteem, worked out better, in terms of price and maintenance!
I am up north, but the situation with the part is no different!
I'll be updating the modification process in my next few posts, so watch out!
and please feel free to leave your comment and suggestions!
Cheers!

Hey Swiftnfurious, Thanks for the compliment! I have managed to bypass many problems that a novice rallying faces, thanks to the guidance I have received from seniors in the circuit, and I am happy to do the same! Thanks!
