Well I’m trying to keep my project under wraps for the most part but the plan is to have an awesome do all type tarmac car, I’ve started from the ground up building this thing exactly how I want it, It’s been very similar to a rally car just for tarmac only. I’ve removed extra weight added bracing all kinds of mods that cross over from road racing to rally racing. The shell is being prepped very much like a rally car because to me it just makes sense, you need a good solid chassis before you can build anything on it. Some of the modifications that rally guys do are a direct cross over to road racing/time attack stuff but what u find in the Rally camps are a lot more do it your selfers! That is why I joined here people know how to do stuff not because they seen it done this way but have done it and can tell u the whole story behind it.
Little history on me my last car was featured in SubieSport Magazine
It was wrecked in 2006 at the track by a hired driver for a time attack event.
It was what we called a Daily driver show car, since I drove it A LOT about 35,000 miles a year.
YouTube Video of the crash=
IT was a blast to build and I enjoyed driving it every single mile, so the new car has to be enjoyable to drive, so I’m not just going all out 100% race car.
