"There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

So, what special parts are you going to be fabbing up for this one? What sort of underbody protection are you talking about?

Probably build a front skidplate and some tiebar style mount to lock everything together. Fuel tank protection/wiring loom/fuel/brake line protection as well. Maybe some tubular arms with rodends---probably be ok for the recce/practice car. I'll have the car for a month or two---if you need anything i can build it on the car and send it.

There's some information in the Protege FAQ about the tranny and rear diff for this car.

I'd be down for the front tiebar/skidplate mount. I am assuming that it would be similar to the 4pt bars you made for the 2wd cars, right? And maybe you could design a rear one as well, for the rear mounting points of the fuel tank protection...Current:
68 Torino GT Fastback
86 MR2
91 F150
94 Escort Wagon BP swap
99 Escort Wagon BP swap
00 Miata LS
08 Arrow AX8
14 Mazda5

Do you think you could post up a pick while you have it apart? The tie rod ends on my 4wd look to be at a funky angle to the spindle and I'd like to see if they're all like that.
I'll delete this post ASAP so your work log doesn't get all funkied up.

Thanks.
Here's the JDM spec bumper we're going to run----it's super light--(you can pick it up with one finger) cost a grip from Corksport, but it has a perfectly flat lip at the bottom and it's urethane so it's good for rally---no cracks!
