EGT Group 2 Rallycar Build

That's nice work all around. And $75/hr for custom work is very affordable...I hear 3 digits and up is where it usually sits at.

thats some real quality work . id be interested in the brace for my 323. would be a good starting point for flying down forestry roads .. and to protect my front end from big rocks n such..

Mazdaracer use to get those front bars made but didn't go back any. Just front lca to lca. What kind of price would you put on yours? You might have a few ppl interested

awesome piece!

[therieldeal]

that brace looks pretty sweet. i have the mazdaracer/corksport style one now, but i fear that it may not hang low enough to clear my new crossmember for the toyota trans. i might have to talk to you about doing a custom one... we'll see.

I would really be interested in one of those tie bars. How much do you think they would be?. Have you thought about doing the fender braces at all?

one thing is it wont fit a mx3

Sorry for the delayed response, just got back in from a mini-vacation with the family...I'll build the lower tie bars, they're pretty easy/quick---probably less than an hour for one and even quicker if I knock out 10---the material is less than $20 for DOM---I'm thinking like between $70-$80 plus shipping/tax. What have you guys been paying for them---couldn't be more than a $100 unless they were moly/tigged/powdercoated I'd suspect...

The complete subframe is a bit more difficult---I'm thinking around $225 plus shipping/tax---maybe less if again I could build a bunch at a time---this wasn't my idea---someone sent me a pic of the brace and I needed to build a skidplate frame/brace so the 2 are getting morphed together. I'll post pics of the skidplate when I get it fit/broke/mounted...It just dawned on me that this car doesn't have a stock cat in it---I wonder if it will clear??!!

Got the hub/hub euro adapter/quick release and momo wheel installed today---and finished the boxes on the gussets...

Basically what has been made before was just a single bar that went side to side. It went from 1 lca to the other IIRC. It didn't go towards the back at all. Look up "mazdaracer tie bar" and you'll see the pics. I'd be interested in a set if the money is avalable at that time or if you can make them whenever I'd be sure to get one when I do get the money up

Here's a link to what his looked like. Basically the same as yours just without the rear brace

I wouldn't need it poweredcoated or painted. That would keep costs down for me.

Starting to feel like a car again!! Got the cage 99% done and the Seat installed with harness bar.

Got the cool Roodwerks Engineering motor mount today! Jon's awesome---kicks these things out like pizza's. There considerably lighter, stronger, stiffer, and keeps the motor where it should be without the nasty vibrations of a solid delrin/steel mount.

I'll post a pic of it installed later-

Just don't repaint this one, Chuck wants it Roodwerk's Blue... No problem, wish I had my crap together over the weekend, and gotten out to you even faster. I got wrapped up in other car projects... ;-)

I already painted it pink to match the car...
