my 4.44's first rally-x
well THAT was ummmmmmmmm interesting!!!
the car ran like a champ !! ![]() now if only i knew how to drive!! 14 entries, i finished 7th overall and 2nd in class (AWD stock) kinda sucked...i usually ran in the top 3 in my old 89 civic si, including one over-all win (37 entries that day !! woohoo!!) power and traction have a hard time competing against nimble and LIGHT fwd's....... even my wife (who knows zilch about cars) observed a huge difference in how the svx ran compared to the smaller cars.she could really see how the weight and inertia worked against me........ dang ![]() i'll have to get my rally tires mounted-up and take off the walmart snow tires!!! ps...........as soon as pics are posted, i'll pass along the link to them for anyone interested........ i GOTTA get the parts car built into a proper rally machine !!! grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! ![]()

Sounds like you had a blast! Congrats. Looking forward to the pics.
![]() Btw, did your SVX bottom out all all during any of your runs? The SVX doesn't have a lot of ground clearance and the engine oil pan does sit pretty low upfront.

front was fine
the REAR however...!!! lol the car sat for about 5 months with the entire tranny, front diff, exhaust driveshaft etc in the trunk/backseat so the rear springs are sooooooo sagged that they wont recover.....the exhaust only dragged verrry lightly a few times so it was ok. ![]() parts car seems to have better suspension, so for the short-term i'll just swap it over...... i was beaten by 3 experienced racers in 2 different gutted golfs with welded diff s and rally tires as well as a mostly rally prepped celica gt4(with rally tires) a legacy turbo with a HIGHLY experienced driver on rally tires and to be honest, i cant remember who else got in ahead of me...the rotten bugger!! ![]() yep.had a blast, the course was very smooth and all gravel with light rain most of the day........ i cant wait for snow and ice to give me a boost !!!

pics are up all 2 of them :(
here's the link for our club's rally-x series....
these pics are in a pdf format the chap who took them is VERY good.he has written several books on photography..... kinda sux.only 2 pics!! and not very "actiony" are they?! oh well......with the lighting/conditions of the day, i guess it was hard to get shots that met his high standards?? i guess.i dunno.........or maybe he just did 2 per car for the poster format he made.......? 2 is better than none though!! lol
