Maybe it's different in your areas, but as soon as I even think of taking the rally car on the street, I have to worry about cops. Rally cars are cop magnets it seems, and I really, *REALLY* don't want their attention.
I've also had people ask me not to run the car in my neighbourhood in mid-afternoon (and I was just idling/moving slowly with low revs), because I woke their babies up from their afternoon naps with the loud ass Swift

There is no need for noise... and i have generally, since maybe88 reccomended to people to NOT paint their cars all fancy schmanzy full stickered out whoopie dooo exactly because of the unwanted attention... and not just from cops.. If it is a "plain wrapper" and resoanably quiet, its easier to get out and PRACTICE.

That daredevil right there has driven that car from Brooklyn to the NEFR in Maine just to hangout. That's hardcore Euro style. But then again driving in NY roads you should have rally suspension. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/21/2013 01:09AM by Cosworth. |

That daredevil with the Sentra is me
Did a JDM engine swap recently and been driving it around locally to shake the car down. Currently it is not making the power it should, awaiting a tune... Not only did I drive it to home depot but we also drove it down to the first viewing of Easier Said than Done yesterday! rally gods would turn in their graves if they ever knew Lada's were now part of EU rallying!!! |

Was hoping to make it out to BRS as it is my favorite event. Unfortunately, as I mentioned the car is not making power and needs a tune. Didn't want to push and bring a questionable car so the plan right now is to head up to tall pines. Its been a while being in the drivers seat as life (2 kids) got in the way and was enjoying that for a while
