some pics from today's rally-x!
hi everybody !
sorry it's been so long....work+family+no money = no time to play with my favorite toy...at least until today !!! http://armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=8540 http://pics.spoon.org/gallery2/v/Mot...llyX-20100103/ there will be more posted i think shortly... ![]() rob ps...i didnt do so well today...results arent posted/official yet, but i'm mid-pack at best... ![]() i've been on the sidelines for so long now i'm QUITE rusty! 3-4 inches of snow then a bunch of rain on semi-frozen mud made for poor conditions for the wee-beastie...waaay too much inertia + bad "c" solenoid meant i simply could NOT get 'er to turn-in!...and even when set in the corner, too much fuel sent her understeering off into the weeds...lol ![]() this may be my only event til april, since i may find out as early as tomorrow if i am flying-out to work in yellowknife til spring.... ![]() ![]()

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
How much of that mud got in the car? How did you bend up the hood?

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
zero mud/water entered car!
![]() EVERY single body issue (dents/scratches etc) is the result of the FORMER owner...a drunk-driving idiot lobster fisherman... ![]() ![]() ![]() including the centre console full of vomit AND an exploded rear diff!! i have NO IDEA how he managed to grenade the diff, but it was in pieces when i bought the car.... ![]()

when i bought my car the front diff was toast, so i replaced the tranny. the one i put in had a faulty solenoid C. I began experiencing binding in the rear end that would go away with the FWD fuse installed. Even though I installed the fuse pretty early on i had to replace the diff because the binding was so harsh it did a serious number to the gears. I suppose that there could have been a similar problem with yours, and after fixing the solenoid the guy did not want to pay for a new diff as well. just a thought... |

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
hehe....im a delinquent soon to be 42 year old!!
lol car isnt as nice as the pics show sadly... although the pic would be good for the calendar!!! ![]() hence its conversion to rally beastie (suspension up grades next!) and a continuation of stripping excess weight...the interior was mostly shot (sorry every one who needs parts!!) next will be fabbing new inner door panels and removing dum-dum from the floor as well as removing un-necessary dash board internals (plus conversion to lightweight heater assembly) at the same time i will be installing civic si seats (they bolt in with only minor mods!!) under the hood, the abs pump will be removed as well as any/all other bits that are deemed un needed....the battery is re-locating to the trunk too... ![]() power seat belts are already gone, next will be power windows and sunroof assembly... i DO have a good fender and hood to paint and install to replace the mangled pieces... ![]() rob ![]() ps....has ANYONE put 15" steelies on their svx?...dynomatt...?? i know chrysler wheels fit the bolt-pattern/hub....but they would need spacers to clear the front calipers... are there ANY known 15" wheels that will clear without spacers?

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
cam..
yes i suppose that was probably the cause of the rear diff... the trans was in pieces in the trunk/back seat when i bought the car, so i didnt even bother looking at it, since i had a 4.44 trans to install already... ![]() only discovered the rear diff when we took it apart to swap the ring/pinion... cheers! rob ![]()

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
well then it all makes sense now
![]() It's nice to see dedication to a true piece of art. I find it amazing that our SVX's are relatively unheard of. |

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
lmao!!!
yes...i have race belts to install...just gotta whip up a cross-bar to receive the shoulder belts ![]() in the meantime, clamping the stock (legacy) belt helps a lot....i power the seatback down then buckle up and put the clamp on, then power the seat back up to where i want it....the clamp works loose of course, but it provides a certain amount of restriction while competing.... and the legacy seat belts are soooooooooooo much better than the power crap ones subey installed originally... ![]() ![]() ![]() rob ps...just got the word, i leave for yellowknife to run the ice roads on monday...wont be back until ummmm probably 3rd week of march!! ![]()

Re: some pics from today's rally-x!
Are you currently running this on the original, and likely worn out, struts?
