rallyx?
Hey Tyler I used to do quite a bit of RallyX back in the day. In the late 90's-2002 I ran a couple of cars. I know that they aren't abodies, but they were fun.
I ran a VW GTI in production street tire class. I was fun and did well, but I had to step up. I built a Group 2 car from a gutted Toyota Starlet. Group 2 was under 1600cc's, 2wd and rally tires. That car was a blast and only weighed 1,600 lbs full of fuel. The cool part about it was the fact that it was a tiny car and rear wheel drive. I built an engine and trans from a Corolla GTS 4AGE and a 5 speed. That engine had some balls past 6K. I would set my rev limiter to 8K and hardly ever lift. I had adjustable coilovers at all 4 corners and a lincoln locker in the rear. What a blast. In my last year I was running I was spanking guys who would bring out their WRX's because they thought they bought a rally car. Most would quit after the first run, because they didn't want to hurt their car.
Sorry about the pics, but my scanner is not working. They are pictures of pictures. Good luck with your build. My only advice is to build it strong, because you will find the weak points really fast. You can see my GTI falling apart in the first picture. The first picture of the Starlet was a day that I was taking it up Jeep trails. Guys in Jeeps couldn't figure out how I got it to the top of the mountain. LOL
