Wee mans Arosa Track day project working again Thanks Grandad !!!

[ArosaRacer]

Its a Border carbon fibre Jtcc one, might be taking it out and using it in the Evo when i do some track work

 

[ArosaRacer]

Well after a long break the arosa was woken up, the gear box oil has been changed along with the engine oil, just needs a new air box made and some tax and insurance and its another six months of abuse or until i break it then its deffo engine change time

good work! Who do you insure yours with? I've only spoken to two places and they won't touch it because of the roll cage

 

[ArosaRacer]

was insured with adrian flux, only 3rd party due to the cage

cool thanks. Will give them a call! Hopefully they'll be nice

 

[ArosaRacer]

if not just use it as a pure race car, it may work out cheaper than insuring it for the road

yeah thats what I'm doing at the moment. There are just a few times where it would be useful to drive it on the road and if its not that expensive then it would be worth it

usually the min you mention a roll cage the insurance companies say no as tehy think that its going to be thrashed and need a cage

 

[Boo]

Wohoo ! The Tic Tac is alive

I had one company refuse to insure me because I'd taken the back seats out of the Arosa! They said that meant it was likely to be raced

Glad to hear it's back up and running again

Have you guys tried Greenlight?

 

[ArosaRacer]

not yet, just deciding what engine i should use now, 2.0 16v or something else ? needs to be an easy swap but provide enough grunt to not be a mobile road block

Not the people I'm with, they didn't even raise the premium when I declared it!

 

[ArosaRacer]

well after being told off by Boo ive just insured the wee one, 200 pounds TP&FF for the year, so next is MOT and tax then im going to use it for work and maybe a few meets

 

[Boo]

Excuse me ! Don't blame me !! Nice to hear that Tic Tac is on the mend, hopefully its for a little longer than usual

 

[ArosaRacer]

bad news Tic tac is up for sale and possibly sold as well as the subaru as well

 

[ArosaRacer]
