my 4.44's SECOND rally-x + pics!!
well, we made it through another event unscathed !!!
engine temp gauge read high after first (or was it second?) run....turns out the FINISHING NAIL the previous owner had jammed in the fuse box lost contact and the fan wouldnt come on (one of the spade lugs had pushed back down through the fuse block....this will be fixed VERRRY shortly !!) ran great...still learning to drive it though...(note to self, fast in doesnt = fast out of the turns!!) coming from a civic...i am still learning to take advantage of the AWD and power plus the good brakes(!) .....the civic was a different beast to get times out of.... i havent seen the official results yet, but i WON awd stock class and i think finished 2nd or 3rd over-all !!(out of i think 14 entries) yay for me !! LOL pics are at:http://pics.spoon.org/Cars/BAC-AutoX-12-03-2006/ cheers!!

I don't really know how rally cross rules work - how are you competing in a 'stock' class? You've clearly modified the car.
I mean, I've modified my MR2, and I compete in E-Stock - but I've hardly modified the drivetrain.

we run pretty simple rules.......if the car has been lightened..it is in "prepared" class....front rear or awd doesnt matter.....or if the car has had improvements in suspension/engine beyond normal replacement type parts.....
stock is broken down into front rear and awd classes.......there are some quirks in our current regs in that brake and transmission/final drive (!! hehe !! ) arent yet included in the "prepared class" list of mods.... this will likely be the only season that i'll be able to run stock class so next year she gets the full treatment of going on a diet and getting new rally appropriate suspension....plus exhaust work and skid plates !! this isnt realyy a formal championship that we run...it is organized by my club (www.bluenoseautosport.ca) and is more of an organized way to go have fun through the fall/winter/spring months it is so informal that a competitor can get a mulligan on a run !! ie: stall at the start or do 4 laps instead of three (me !! d'oh !!) how'z that for friendly competition?!?!?

Sounds like a fun group. So are your events sanctioned by a larger organization, like the SCCA?

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? rob"does NOT understand trailer queens"m . lol

Yeah, sorry but I've already decided on the pictures to be used and for which months to use them.
Calendars may be printed as soon as tomorrow if all goes well. I'll be updating the Calendar thread later today with more information.
