I was watching that WRC on speed channel. I saw the WRX nearly miss going off the cliff. I would love to get to drive like that.

 

Indeed that'd be pretty fun...have you seen when they roll those rally cars? I'd be freakin' out...

 

Rallying is the X games of Motorsports...They put the entire car thru so much punishment so the products that survive the abuse usually finds its way onto other types of motorsports...The gearboxes are clutchless DOG boxes that are now being used in Drag Racing...These aren't air shifted its an actual Manual Tranny Gear Box with a Sequential Paddle Shifter...These cars boost close upwards around 50psi to keep the torque up...The intake restrictors are so small, if you take your pointer finger and touch your thumb, thats about the size of the intake piping...They replace complete turbocharger/manifold/wastegate assemblies between stages where they are allowed...They swap complete trannies in under 15minutes...The camera you speak of is in the top front corner of the car...Thats whats Known a V-Rally...Virtual Rally...You can track your driver on I believe, www.wrc.com with V-Rally...Its basically a GPS with a Live Video Feed...

On the Safari Rally, they actually take a metal hose and clamp it to the exhaust for when they drive thru the deeper parts of the rivers they pass thru...You can buy these cars and lots of people do...When these cars are used and retired, they are cleaned up and put up for sale so Private Owners can compete in Group A, which is an anything goes class...

Drivers who drive Rally are said to be the best drivers in the world...And that comes from the Formula1 Driver's themselves...

Well for those that want some extra air in their car and to make use of a functional roof scoop, here you go...

Man,

I can't believe you say my car is rice! It is anything but.. EVERYTHING on my car is functional and geared toward performance. The DOHC VTEC stickers are stock on a 99' Si - my car DOES have a DOHC VTEC engine in it. Every gauge in my car is being used and does have a valid purpose. You must be thinking of some other car, because I don't even have Z3 fenders - yuck! The block IS sleeved and DOES have 84mm weisco pistons in it already. It can handle 550 whp no problem....

No one has ever even hinted that my car is rice... That was the last comment I expected to hear from anyone on TR.


369whp

 

sorry kieth but I have to agree aside from the doch vtec stickers the car is fuckin purdy!!!!

 

369whp???? Anyways your car looks very nice.

 

What? The DOHC VTEC sticker isn't functional? Of course it is. It serves as a warning device..

 

nice...
