Screw that.... build a rally car instead. You can actually turn towards the right sometimes!

That really only applies to his track. My tracks are going to be different lengths and everything, no way to really tell until you drive it. Welded differentials though put heavy wear on the axles if there are too many tight turns.


haha - glad you like it. With any luck we'll see some Celica racing dominance here soon



You should probably just come to my garage then..... as I currently have two lol


haha it's all good. So did kurt - The cage is going to take the longest cause we're custom fabbing ours up, not using some "premade" kit cage.



LOL - I tried convincing my other "car mechanic" a while back we ought to build a rally car. And he agrees, it would be fun as all heck, but your only "enemy" is the clock, and I think he prefers passing
On a side note, given that we're only about 3 hours apart, next time you have a rally in PA or WV let me know, we might be interested in giving a watch

Forget the 5s....
This is a racecar god d*mn it....

2-3 days out

From the other day.
Forgot to post






After some sand blasting....
kinda rusty in the rocker panels, but the frame and suspension towers are all solid. Some welding is needed on the subframe also found via sand blasting... but very fixable.

Also purchasing maf adapter....

that car is definitely rusted!!

that's why she's not on the road...... LOL

CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!

July rust holes Batman

Just throw some sideskirts on there you'll never know its there lol

Can't leave the car outside for an hour without those damn hoodlums stripping it down.

There will be no side skirts lol - it'l get some some sheet metal welded on on the way down the side... *maybe lol* and then painted.... maybe red... maybe black.

I'm thinking black since the engine is gonna have a little bit of color to it if you get my drift

Pop rivet some aluminum sheet over it an save the weight lol jk
Black an red should look good together

actually, I'm pretty sure we are gonna pop rivet the stuff on there.... and I'm pretty sure the sheet metal we have in the garage is aluminum lol
I wanted to run the 5s for a while to get used to the racing.... my one man pit crew up and changed the powerplant on me yesterday by completing an ebay purchase order. I suppose there is not going back now lol

www.rallywv.com This weekend at snowshoe resort.

What's the spectator entry fee?

It's free, just have to drive to the spots via the spectator maps on the website. It tells you what time you need to be there and how to get there. Also you can walk around the service area and see the cars before the rally starts. I will say that last year this rally was a cluster****. However they brought on some good people and it should be much better organized than last year.... especially as far as spectating.

It's not a national rally so none of the top guys will be there, but there will still be plenty of fast guys/cars.
