February 2, 200521 yr Sorry..no real detail pics as of yet...but some action shots and stuff from the rally we ran. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/racerchick185/Tall%20Pines/Tallpinesandtashnme016.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/racerchick185/Tall%20Pines/Tallpinesandtashnme023.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/racerchick185/Tall%20Pines/Tallpinesandtashnme020.jpg http://www.chreptak.com/tallpines/main/DSC01841.JPG http://www.chreptak.com/tallpines/main/DSC01887.JPG http://www.chreptak.com/tallpines/main/DSC01888.JPG http://www.patandwalter.com/archives/images/IMG_0960.JPG http://www.patandwalter.com/archives/images/IMG_1047.JPG http://www.patandwalter.com/archives/images/IMG_1048.JPG you need to excuse the crappy rattlecan paint matching, and so on...the car was finished at about 3 AM the morning before the rally
February 2, 200521 yr I like it, its got the driven by whats inside, not the paint on the outside look. sure looks quick, got engine pics?
February 2, 200521 yr Author the car is actually getting a full paint job before the next rally...were just sourcing the right budget. Under the Hood...HAHA...it's completely stock..actually we had to restrict the turbo inlet. There is a restrictor in the turbo elbow which restricts it to 32MM from the stock 38MM. The only engine mods are the '88 engine with the better cams, full 2.25 inch exhaust with a Metal core cat (cat mandated by the rules), and a K&N filter. i found this really good action pic also http://members.rogers.com/tan.mt/tallpines/_MG_9525.jpg
February 2, 200521 yr Where are the rear mudflaps on it from? I really like them. Great car, I love seeing EA82 sedans in rally form.
February 2, 200521 yr Spectacular! Great work, I wish I were out there with you. I was heartbroken when I added up the cost of running a season of local club rally, never mind the cost of prepping the car, just not in my budget.:-\ So I will have to live vicariously through you. How did the car perform? What class are you running? How did you finish (did you finish)? Details man, we need lots of details… you're living the dream. Wanna be ralliest Gary P.S. that last pic is GREAT... I'm so jealous.
February 2, 200521 yr Author the flaps are just trailer flap material we bought and cut to fit the car. the car ran really well. the key to it's performance was in the suspension... However..we did notice about a week ago that the "strut mounts" for the rear struts now resemble a banana. so we have some work to do there. The suspension is custom bilstien based coil-overs all round. We were running 11th overall. 3rd Overall in the Regional Portion, and leading our class for the Regional Portion. We run class P4. Basically same as PGT down there. After 7 stages we blew the head gasket and parked the car before a 28KM stage. The stage prior we set 8th fastest time.
February 2, 200521 yr goddamn that looks like fun. I'm thinking about setting up a rally race up here. we have this trail called the Fairbanks to Circle historical trail. Its like 50 or 60 miles long, crosses 3 mountains. If I end up doing it, its going to be a N/A race. No turbos (so I can have a chance) If anyone is interested in settin this race up, let me know
February 2, 200521 yr YEAH! That last pic of you coming around the corner is SWEET!!!! Dont bust that tire off your rim bead That hood is fully custom by the way
February 3, 200521 yr thats what i wanted to do with my rx, now if i could just get the damn thing runnig right
February 3, 200521 yr Ahhhh there's no pic like a suby in a rally pic! Beautiful pics! Makes me wanna try and contact a guy that has a blue 87 turbowagon for like, 800 bucks. Problem is: A) it's like playin phone tag when U wanna talk to him and it's been sitting there for roughly 5 years!
February 3, 200521 yr nice. good to see some old school subes out rallying. I have to agree it looks like you could benifit from some better tires. budget limitations have killed my drive to rally professionally. grrr. well keep at it. it can be lots of fun.
February 3, 200521 yr The last action shot looks sick! I love sedans, they look good even better than the wagon's IMO. DIS do you have any rally events not in Onterriable?
February 7, 200521 yr familiar looking car That's mudrat's old RX... and now mine. I had hoped to use it for novice rally (just like you) so we'll see how I fair. She's sick right now and I don't have an excess of time to fix her, but when she ran properly it's fun! if I can hit you up for any help is that cool?
February 9, 200521 yr That thing lots to be going hard!!!! What type of motor you got? Is it FT4WD LSD?
February 11, 200521 yr Author Interior pics will come later. It is a 1985 RX Sedan. It's an absolute stripper....crank windows, no power steering, blah blah blah. It has the Part-time Dual range tranny with the stock rear LSD. Again motor is basically completly stock except for exhaust and a k&n filter. The secret to going fast in these things...DON"T LIFT OFF!!! from what i'm told....in that corner (the last picture) they had a radar gun set-up with a digital display for spectators to see. An open class Mitsubishi Evo 4...around 375 hp....clocked 117 KPh. Us in our 1985 RX Sedan....somewhere around 105 KPH... everyone else in our class....Mid 80's kph!!!
February 11, 200521 yr man i wanna rally race now............that would be so kool. it would be awesome if you mounted a video camera in there for rally video you could post for all us wannabe's. ~Josh~
February 11, 200521 yr Coolness...Roof vids rule! BTW, another tip to going faster without adding HP is weight reduction!
