34. New Windshield.

Lots of spares - turbo, manifolds, intakes, do dads and many thingy ma bobs.

The car is running about 210 to 225 hsp depending if you are running race fuel or regular.

It is a very fun car to drive, it has done us proud. We have a great reputation as a crowd favorite and for hanging out the rear end on corners. This is the perfect introduction to rally and can be competitive in Group 5, especially if the K-jet was replaced with a stand alone system and the T5 upgrade was complete. All of which i would love to do, but it is just going ot collect dust for the next 2 years.


I am asking for $5000.00 (with out Pirelli's). All i want is it to go to a good home and will be rallied, TSDed, or Autocrossed....

Please call me or email and I can email photos.

Based on the number - Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Yup, Houston is in Calgary.

No, Houston is in Texas.

(I couldn't resist)

How did it go Houston?

Overkill is consistently more fun

I have a rally this weekend, so it will be good to dust off the cob webs, and run the car on some ice and snow!

As far as the sale, I have a local shop who might buy it for their marketing.

Worse comes to worse I will tarp it.

Any rallies coming up for you?

Houston,

I heard there was a serious accident at the Kananaskis Rally

I hope you and your co-driver were not involved

Jim

The rally had a serious dark cloud over it. The first stage two cars were wrecked, then the second stage the CRX hit a tree on the drivers side, causing the driver to have a few broken ribs, but he was wearing a hans device - no spial injuries.

The navigator was not so lucky and had to be heli lifted to the hospital with bleeding in his brain unconscious. They were a confident team, but just went wide on an slick corner. CARS is making hans devices manditory for next season, but that does not help travis. I am not sure on your rules down there, but let me tell you tht the accident was not that bad to look at on video - to all those you do not use a hans device - wake up.

The organizers did an excellent job with extraction and made the right choice to stop the rally.

Houston:

A buddy of mine from Finland is very interested in your car to run here in the States.

His name is Jari Hamilainen, and I think he has e-mailed you.

He is completely serious. He just purchased three vehicles from us and shipped them via container to Finland to use in historic rallying.

If you could send detailed pictures to me or him of the car, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Houston:

Your email seems not to be working (as of early last week) -- can you send me a note when you have a chance?
