Dude. Isn't the free beer the whole secondary point of being service crew.
One of our service crew guys, who was the only one drunker than me at the Rally Colorado Parc Expose in 06 (where all drivers, codrivers, and crew get two drinks and if you know enough fellow competitors you can easily get 10-15, since most people take themselves too seriously and don't drink at all the night before a rally). Anyhow, he's a bit hammered and he's talking and going off all, "Who the fuck does Ken fucking Block think he is anyhow..." And turns around and Ken is standing right behind him. Everyone (as in all the friends standing right there) started laughing. Anyhow, good luck at Tennessee. There's one of them AllTrash's that runs some of the events here in Colorado. I codrove in it once and they seem like fun cars. Plus, you know Jason Priestley, of 90210 fame (he was Brandon in the show) drove one of those in rallies in the early 90s. It was the newer body style I believe. I know my sister, who still watches 90210 on the Soap channel, would be stoked.  Grant Hughes |

John, welcome aboard.
Thanks for the compliments, but hey I don't remember the "All Trash" part, and I know the weird languages I use, and I fell that "trash" is not a word I would use. I appreciate the credit but I am a fair man and belive no good deed should go unpunished so I can't take credit......... But I was trying out some when I was test running "All-trash" inswide my head, and instantly hit upon some way better, indeed very nearly Sooper Bitcin. Run this thru your head and see how much more fitting this is "Toiletta All-Crap Sillycar". Whaddya think (and ask anybody who knows me I never said "TH" very well and on top of that I would, like a lot of immigrant kids, make fun of the way my Mamasita would say things in English, so I said for years "STink, and in a great lesson about making fun of people, the ultimate justice is after years now I say stink when I write "THINK" 
Which model you have? ST165 or ST185? Whatcher planning with the thing? Tim Taylor, my friend who posts all the CAD-porn of the things were making together has a ST165 sitting at his shop and there was some talk about just using the gearbox out of it into the Maz-dog and we got to talking about what REAR DIFF comes in the thing. You know if thats a Toyota 7.5" unit in back? You have the car ID tag which has like engine code/trim/motor/gearbox/diff?? We're trying to finger out if ther thing is simply 7.5" if we can shove the diff from Toiletta Stuprah MkII, the one with the big stuck on arches, cause loyss of those had clutch plate LSD.

John,
My car has an unknown posi unit in it but came from the factory without LSD. I am pretty sure that the Stuprah unit will go into an All-crap housing but not "posi"tive. Here is a page that you might be able to dechipher some info out of: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stepho/diff.htm Mine is a 165 and my plan is to beat the crap out of it. It was a rally car already when I got it but it was in disrepair. I replaced just about everything in it and it seems to be much more solid now. My next project is tuning for the restrictor. I upgraded to a Ct20b so I hope to figure out how to make some safe low rpm boost before TN and whoop some ass with my rusty hood and drunken crew. here are a couple pics of "Angelica tha Celica" ready for some tarmac: 
Oh yeah, I'll be sure to update my profile to read better. |

Shiiiiiiiit. That car's dripping with hotness. (In an especially filthy, "I-play-dirty" kinda way.) Me likey! e-high-five
Then again, I'm one of the resident keyboard rallyist poseurs, so take from that what you will. I think your car looks badass, man. "Sure. I'll run you from the light, but while you go straight ahead, I will break right, hop that curb, take out the hedgerow over there, and do a wicked-pissah burnout in the field back behind that Hometown Buffet. On three, okay?"  Brian Driggs | KG7KCA | PHX, AZ | 89 Pajero alterius non sit qui suus esse potest |
