Unfortunately you can't go into any forums but...

Looks like I'll have to be careful from now on. That's really a smart move on the hp though. Why not have a car that is versatile all year round in the mountains. Hope he stays away from the dirt. We ran from a sheriff the other day in the mountains. Found some heavy fog and pulled onto a side road ...

Actually I just double checked because as I was writing that last night I started thinking that it was actually 2212 and using the multiplier that matched what you had. I think I got the 2197 from a late night getting my car ready. I alway just put 2200 which gives an exact match for Production limi...

I really hope this is wrong but I've been told that the material that most bolt in roll cages are made out of is going to be obsolete via the 2004 rules. My Colt has a Safety Devices bolt in cage and I took it in to Brian Moody, a local Pro guy and race car builder and he told me that they were chan...

It illegally passed emmissions though. It has a cat that's ready to get the hell out of there though. I'll get some action pics in the next few days and post them for ya!

Are there any "rules of thumb" so to say about diameter of tubing with respect to turbo size. I have a relatively small but quick spooling turbo. The boost gauge in the car says aroun 11-12 psi currently. The current intake piping is only maybe 1" at the smallest and 1.5" at the ...

When it's licensed in my home state of Wyoming. When you have very few people and lots of space and have people who don't like the gov. telling them what to do you end up with no emmissions laws. Most rally cars have to be street legal anyhow I believe. :D It's actually passed CO emmissions though i...

There is a power and economy setting that is adjusted by an additional lever next to the shifter. There are two ratios for every gear. It's very similar to the high low in old Subies but is geared for street driving not for off road like in the old Subies. It's kind of interesting. Makes for fun hig...

Yeah it's the 8 speed. It's a blast to drive. It's putting out around 180 whp and weighs around 2000 lbs. Super quick. It has Bilstein's all around. Need a new front strut. I'm getting the front two rebuilt here pretty soon. I had not seen turbododge.com but I'm definitely heading over there next. I...

So here's some pictures of my new rally car. I decided not to build my Legacy into a rally car. I figured this way I can still drive the Legacy everyday and beat the crap out of this car. It's a 1984 Dodge Colt GTS Turbo. It's a G5 car and has a history. It was first built back around 1990 and has s...

It's all currently wrapped now, all the piping and the exhaust manifold. The setup I have planned will be really cool (in both ways, temp and style) and allow much more flow. This car was built to rally in the early 90s and there doesn't appear to have been much consideration to flow amount taken in...

Okay need to run some new tubing for my Colt Rally car from turbo to ic to intake manifold. Any recommendations for Silicone Tubing vs. Aluminum tubing? Also how do you join the silicone tubing if making a custom set of pipes. Mine will end up being pretty complicated and would cost a ton to have so...

I wouldn't pay more than $3000 for it. That is what I would consider a fair price. It would have to have around 70-100K and be in mint condition to be considered worth $5000 in my opinion. The numbers are very low for Subaru's production of these, however I don't think they are as low as most places...

That sounds like a perfect car to me.

I'm looking at the picture of the WRX one and can't figure out where it would go in a WRX based upon my knowledge of the car. IMO the two best spots in a Legacy Rally Car is in the middle of the back seat area or in the hole that holds the spare usually. This way you maintain a better balance of the...

Remember that a 92 Sport Sedan Retailed for $20149 whereas a WRX retail for around $24525, for a difference of a little over $4000. On a 60 month payment plan at 3.9% that's around $100 more per month for a grand total of 6K more over the 60 months. It's the jump from $400/mo. to $500/mo. that gets ...

David, Can you just go get a business license? I know they're like $50 in CO and like $60 in Wyoming. Might be worth it from the saved expenses in shipping?

So I'm scouring the Denver area trying to come up with a Legacy turbo 5MT for a reasonable price (not $7000) and came upon something really cool. The city and county of Denver holds an auction every two weeks and auctions off all of the cars that they have impounded for more than 30 days. They gener...

Mom and Dad? That wouldn't happen to be the moderators on the board would it? :wink: Here's my approx. expenses per person: Flight to England from New York ~ $300 Hotel in London ~ $30/ night Rental Car ~ $50/ day Junkyard purchases ~ $120/ day Figure on 5 days in London ~ $1000 Freight back to US ~...

Okay so I'm looking at rally tires could someone explain what the sizing means on Euro tires.
Ex:
Michelin tires TRX C3 10/66-390
Michelin gravel tires TRX 15/65-390

The dealership I used to work at just degreasered and sprayed down the whole engine bay without covering or protecting anything. I never will spray anything underneath my hood however. I just clean under it occasionally the old fashioned way with a bucket and some rags that I will not miss :) and so...

Sounds alot like mine. How'd you record that. I've always thought about doing mine but haven't thought of a good way to do it.

I know when the new Forester came out Subaru went around the country with a bunch of cars and held what they called a ride and drive. Could have been for carrying stuff for something like that when the Legacy was coming out. They were a smaller company back then too so it would make sense to be on a...

I've heard rally good things about the Falken Azenis from some of the autocross guys around here. I'm going to try a set on my street wheels when I get them.

Going to drive or fly? I think it will be rad because they're will be a huge US rally fan contingency going down. It's going to be one of the highlights of the year,
