Amazing, what's the engine? I assume it's a 16v on A-series block, I can't tell as I havn't got sound atm lol

[mike.]

A KAD engine most probably. 1440cc and sounds like a KAD.

1440cc A Series block with Kad 16v head built and developed by the driver, Lloyd Hutchinson with Colin in KAD. We run it on Bio-Ethanol fuel using a Motec M4 ECU mapped locally here in Ireland by Robbie in Trackday Performance (tdp.ie)
Unfortunately the drop gears gave up the ghost at the end of the next stage but watch this space as Lloyd is developing a brand new 5 speed box and all the drive train parts to ensure reliability.
This was the last round of the Dunlop National Rally Championship in Ireland (all tarmac stages) and we were in the running to win the 2wd championship but this non-finish put paid to that. We had really good results throughout the year and won the class by miles every time we finished! 3 Non-finishes - 1: crankshaft, 2: broken shock and 3: drop gears >

It's a KAD 16V engine with a KAD 5 speed box.

Bio-Ethanol sounds interesting!

We used to run the KAD 5 speed but changed back to 4 speed kit from Quaife with parts designed by Lloyd and made just for him again to ensure reliability....which we have in the gear kit but hopefully we will sort out the other problems soon!!

Cheers for the compliments!! I call the notes!!

We compete in any rallies that let us

We havn't travelled for rallying but Lloyd has driven in Historic races in Spa and another street circuit in Belgium who's name escapes me!!
I have co-driven on the Manx Rally a few years ago. Probably a bit lazy of us but the rallying here in Ireland is at a serious pace!!

the rallying over there looks AMAZING. Is there rallies most weekends or are they set dates? would love to come over sometime and watch some. Im currently doing a motorsport engineering course at college and hopefully going to get into rallying, much better than anyother motorsport
