sadly i think i/we've missed the cut-off for calendars.nov. 30th apparently?

oh well.....

as for the "extreme duty" useage.....(i'd hate to say "abuse")


the car was destined for the bone-yard until i resurrected it.......
my $$ total to date is about 1500$ cdn and that includes the purchase price, a new/used 4eat 4.44 installed and new front brakes(rears to come)
as well as misc small items...rad repair....new wipers etc...

oh yeah it came with 4 new snow tires mounted and 4 michelin 225 50 16 for summer (50% worn)

my philosophy is that the car ISNT in good enuff shape to restore so i might as well enjoy using it in a venue it can excel at

then, when it is done, i can use it for parts for the rally svx i'm building
so nothing will go to waste and i've will have had a great deal of fun/practice with the car

AND i picked up a parts svx that came with a free legacy 4eat ...

and the events REALLY arent THAT hard on the cars...some wheelspin/flying stone paint-scratches(gotta get mud flaps!!) and ummmmmmm
well thats about it.....the suspension soaks up the few bumps on our course even in its sagged condition....so where's the harm?
