It's still being worked on.......
It was completed and together last spring, and I'll post some pics soon. I have been doing the shakedown testing for some time, I learned I needed custom suspention setup to really compete in the local rallycross.
I have also learned, the $5000 budget was a dream. I've blown the budget to levels even I am shocked at.
What I am also shocked at is how stupid fast the car is. With a new suspention and some more tweeks I'll be able to get the same times as the guy who drives the STi at rallyX.sigpic

Ya, I quickly learned that 5K was a joke of a budget....plus I'm just testing the waters to see if anyone will bite locally. I have a chance to pick up a fully rally preped Subaru for 9K so I gotta try!sigpic

"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."
