I have a mortgage, one kid, another on the way, no trust fund, and I'm a stay at home dad. Unless a winning lottery ticket ends up in my lap, I'm not going to be driving a rally car any time soon. I figure I'm better off unloading this and buying a beater snowmobile to run on hot stages or something else to antagonize people. So my eight plus year, never really gotten off the ground rally car project is up for sale. It's a stripped 86 XR4Ti, no sunroof, no glass, no motor, no trans, no brakes. The cage won't pass anybody's tech and needs to be popped out, as it has a halo hoop (roundy round design), the floor plates are insufficient and have rust holes where some moron (me) never got around to painting after the cage got (partially) welded in place. Also, the rear stays aren't right, and the roundy round guy thought a Y would be fine instead of an X in the main hoop. There are many dents and dings, as the shell has been handled by backhoes, forklifts, bucket loaders and Subaru Legacies, usually with insufficient help to stabilize or steer the car or stop it from running into tree/woodpile/4Runner/etc. I haven't really thought through what else I have that can go with it, but I'm fairly certain I can provide bumpers and covers, a spare steering rack, diff and core halfshafts, used brake calipers and cylinders (cores), I may even have a disassembled engine to send with it. I could also probably help with wiring, lights, etc. Take a look at the pictures. No, it's not a project for the faint of heart. But scrap steel is at the point where I could probably load the car with the parts I listed above, haul it 30 miles to the scrap yard and get a check for $400 for it. The wood pieces are not a NASCAR safety device, just add plywood to keep car cover from caving in... mmmm, rust. I also have an 87 shell, stripped, sunroof, red. I also have a Sparco Sprint suit (mfg 2005 or 6), blue size 58. Only tried it on. $400. andrewsteere (at) tds (dot) net https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,17231,17231#msg-17231 Fri, 26 Jun 2026 06:05:15 -0500 Phorum 5.2.15a https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,17231,37825#msg-37825 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,17231,37825#msg-37825 -------------------------------------------------------

This would be a kickass rallycross car once I get tired of beating up my neck in the RX-7. And Lexan windshields are legal now if you have an "Improved Touring" legal cage, which I think means some exhaust pipe stuck in random places with chewing gum, or something.

I also have a red 87 shell and (possibly) a black no sunroof 85 (that IIRC has a nasty interior) available. The red 87 with sunroof is the best shell. The black 85 could be made a runner with the least effort (add drivetrain).

There are engines and transmissions kicking around amongst the piles, but I really can't quite remember what I have. I think the engine supply may be down to a couple disassembled blocks and Fiasco's old engine, which should be bronzed and displayed in my living room. Pretty sure there's a Turbo Chicken T5 that probably has no synchros left in it, think all the T9's are gone. I have a nice Hanlon built T5 with 2.95 first and a 0.80 (or so) fifth in it, but that's going to cost real money if I sell it.

John's going to wonder what I'm doing with the suspenders...I think I'm going to put my JVAB/FoMoSpo 41mm front Billies on my 88 street car, and see about redoing the rear disk brakes so the Coleman/Bilstein hybrid things you made will fit. But first I need to put the finishing touches on that car so I can get it inspected.

Yes, this is one disorganized listing. But I'm in a liquidating mood.

Got the street XR4 running, but no exhaust or bumper and lights or fans, horn, etc. I pulled it out of the garage so I could concentrate on other projects here in sunny Nude Hamster (it's made Seattle look like Arizona lately) and got my sister-in-law's Volvo springs swapped out. Then backed in my Legacy to swap out some suspect wheel studs. Found the left rear brake caliper had seized and the pads had gone metal on metal and the rotor was trashed.

So I said screw it, I've been putting off a bunch of maintenance for a year and the car is at the point where I don't let my wife drive it. So I ordered up brakes, struts, ball joints so I wouldn't have any issues come inspection time in three months. Fast forward to me trying to pull ball joint on left side. SNAP goes the bolt in the steering knuckle. Out comes the drill and a lot of swearing. Drilling not exactly successful, I should have pulled the spindle instead of trying to freehand with a cordless drill for an hour (over several battery charges).

Ouch goes my wrist from tendonitis to sprained (and not the one I nearly sawed off). So the car has been sitting a few days while my wrist heals up some. It's a lot better today, so I finished the rear brakes, and ordered a couple of junkyard steering knuckles that hopefully aren't rusted as badly as what I have. I need to go index the cam bolts on the front struts and go pull those bits so I can hopefully thrash it back together as soon as everything arrives.

But this doesn't have much to do with selling my rally shell. Not that I really expected to in the first place, especially with my "salesmanship".

It's been really hard to get motivated to put this thing on a circle track website (I don't really want to give up on it), so I may also just put the thing in the garage and start putting a legal cage in it so I can not be able to afford rally entry fees anyway!

LeMons is a good backup plan. Earlier this year we talked of dragging a $50 Saab 900 ice racer down for it, but that never happened.

I'm not one to sugar coat stuff I'm unloading. I'd rather under promise and over deliver. I should get serious and post it on some other sites, probably best to see if somebody could make a roundy-round car out of it.

If I can't get near scrap metal prices for the shell, I'll drag it back into the woods and buy more lottery tickets.
