Re: Ashley compitition exhaust and manifolds

I have the Ashley system on my 325 rally car. It needed a little bit of sorting to fit how we wanted it, as ground clearance is a major problem for a forest rally car. Sound is good and not too loud so passes sound checks with no problem. It is a fairly large bore so flows fine for a 325i.

Elvington 1 December

Hi All

Any one from here coming to this one?

We will be there with my Rally Car to give it a shake down after a extensive rebuild. Very low diff might give us a few problems if the straights are at all long 8O

Re: Seat harness combination advice

You have to be careful about seat height if you intend to race the car. When wearing a helmet your head should be below the roll cage for understandable reasons. Have you got a copy of the MSA blue book. (Motor Sports Association rule book) This will give you all the guide lines for racing in the UK...

Re: Seat harness combination advice

The drivers seat on mine we welded in some strengthening plates with captive nuts and where the floor wasn't level we welded some boxes. Have a look at www.mantasport.co.uk and under projects, Simons BMW Rally Car and there is a picture of what we did.

Re: Seat harness combination advice

If not then I would think long and hard about fitting harness belts, speaking from experience of rolling a car wit...
