I keep on tom about turning that CRX into a true rally car. Replace some of that old suspension, and put that roll cage he's got in. Drop it off a Extreme's for some extreme wait reduction, then install that race seat you got.

I'd rather turn Rattle into an autocross or possible wheel to wheel car, that's way down on the to do list. For rally stuff I'd rather just have a $100 car.

Getting Snowball back in running condition is higher on the list.

^ That gen of subi is notoriously weak in more ways than one. That's why I suggested going with a WRX instead of a 2.5RS. TK never listens.

WRX's have notoriously weak transmissions often called glass boxes.

I am disappointed with the car so far. Sigh.

all those miles and all that racing done by you and some girls,... its not all that bad of a car.

Tom... just race the EVO.... what is the worst thing that could happen??? Even if you biffed the bumper or two it would cost less to replace than taxes on a different car. Its not like that thing is mint anyway.

haha, your going to be "biffing" more than just a bumper.

TomKat

EVO is parked for the winter.

Two bumpers for an EVO would cost way more than taxes on a beater. I bet a nice beater could be picked up for the price of two EVO bumpers.

Dizmm

$1000 car or less = perfect off-road rally car. Any more and you worry about breaking shit. But too cheap and the car wont get you to/from events.

EVILUTION

I'm not sure where you shop but there is an EVO graveyard just outside of Madison... they have tons of bumpers for a couple hundred bucks. I wouldn't expect to need many bumpers with a studded AWD EVO.

Either way good luck on the hunt for a rally car. I think a 1G dsm would be fun.

Dizmm
11-16-2009, 12:00 PM
a studded evo would be worse.

TomKat
11-16-2009, 03:03 PM
a studded evo would be worse.

Ask Micieknojknojknvropejngokjhnowernocxvjnsfopjbahh about that.

If there were so many EVO bumpers in Madison then why did DontStopMe had so much trouble finding one?

Even at $200 each. That's $400 just for parts then you have to paint them. It would be at least a grand by the time all was said and done with used parts.

Oh yeah and don't forget the undertray. Those are really cheap.....NOT.

DontStopMe
11-16-2009, 03:14 PM
I bought a color matching bumper for like 300 or 350 shipped but it did take a month to find. I do still have my old one.... you can throw it on for winter if you want. That way if you hit anything you wont care!

DontStopMe

Prices must be going down. took this guy 9 months to sell an 8 bumper for $80!!

He didnt even come close to beating Nigel with his studded STi. Those studded donuts were a fail.

TomKat

He took FTD at a WAG event. Those mini spare studs just didn't compare to Nigel's sharpened bolts however.

Yes EVOs make excellent ice racers. Ask Miciahonfondsaonwononapmowe(*$#ah about that.

donut spares FTL, they flex WAY too much, and don't really have much of a bead to hold them onto the rim. Overcome those problems, though, and they'd probably be great!
