Look at these sucky Chevettes!

We are in 100% agreement John...frickin scarey...


As to the emgine thing..I heard years ago that someone in a Celica won an event and after much ado was made of it by Toyota it was discovered that a rotary Mazda was under the hood. Is this a BS story or is there any truth to it ??

It is really easy to to swaps in RWD prolly not so much in FWD with the inherant axle/knuckle problems or differences. I suppose if the approximate track was similar you coud swap the whole assembly. I've never tried a FWD Xswap, probably way easier than I think actually as long as it didn't require a subframe swap like a Taurus or Olds would require ( not that we'd do that, just an example..)

After completing one car, ready to rally and having it outdated before I could even use it. Along with the increasing costs, constantly changing rules, not enough regional rallies, and sanctioning bodies that seem so hard to deal with. I hate to say it but its way eaisier to slowly build a rally inspired car, that can be used for way more uses than two rallies a year. Track days, rally x, auto x, TSD's, drifting. You know? Just be able to use the car. We all know rally is the best. I hope to one day have the unlimited cash to be able to quickly build a legal car and drive across the country to use it, like once a year. Untill then its nice to have you guys posting up sick pictures of cars that are under a hundred thousand bucks. Cars that normal guys can build and hopefully use. Shit sorry about this stupid rant, but people wonder why there aren't more guys rallying. I don't know what other people use as sorry excuses but I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels like this. Sorry I'm off topic, by the way those sucky chevettes make me wish I had one for another everlasting project, craigs list here I come. OB

Nothing has changed rule wise to make a recent built car outdated, nor is either sanctioning body difficult to work with. There are more regional events on the west coast than anyone could ever run. Yes you can set up a car to multi task, but it won't really be good at all of the tasks. Costs will only go up with time so it is better to get on stage now than in 2 more years when less roads are available and costs have risen another 30%.
