EGT Group 2 Rallycar Build

[JPmotorsports]

I'm sending the stock window over to my lexan guy to have him cut a couple for the various projects---I can have him cut some extra ones if you like. You'd have to mask and paint the inside black and then glue it in. The race cars are getting the 1/8" which is flimsy/floppy, for the street cars I'd do 3/16", I tryed 1/4" once and it was hard to curve...

Here's a cool (pun) trick to get rid of the heavy undercoating/sound deadening goop glued to the floor of just about every car ever built in america...DRY ICE!!! Makes for great pics too...

see i had no problem chipping mine out

[worldhazard]

what kinda of clips/fasteners (hood pins) are you gonna use to secure the trunk and hood.

[JPmotorsports]

I'm trying to sell him on the aerocatch products, but he'll probably end up with sparco hoodpins in the front with terry springs in the back...

[worldhazard]

mind sharing the build expense thus far?

[scortadict]

i did the samething with my 323, dry ice work real good.

Roughly 12 grand on a car that's not likely more than 3 grand stock?

You're my new hero!

With labor my count is closer to $15,000 and still many zeroes away from completion... building race cars ain't cheap man. This is also a budget build (relatively). You could blow $15,000-$20,000 with your eyes closed on a serious shock setup for a rally car.

I know it's not cheap. But there aren't that many people putting that much time, money and effort into cars such as these. Therefor, I have great respect for what you're doing, and wish you the best of luck in winning the first race that beast attends.

[swalltr207jg]

jp, Im also going to need some type of bracing that will sit right under the cf hatch that I can mount a apr wing too so the hatch doesnt flex and the downforce is transfered straight to the suspension
