  • "squirrel..." I'm thinking about Rally...

    Yes, I need to focus (hence the "squirrel"reference) on getting the roadrace car going, but I'm distracted by rallying, especially the rallycross events in my backyard run by the California Rally Series:

    California Rally Series, Performance Rally, Rally, Rally Cross, RallyMoto, Moto, Subaru, USA, Rallycross, CRS


    I'm thinking about using the Red Turd SVO, hell its just about gutted right now. And already has subframe connectors. Run it in the production 2wd Rallycross classes with my sons. Might finally catch their attention, and it'd be slow enough not to scare the shit out of me if they take the car off track... um course(unlike the road race car). Pissing off the SVO purists would just be an added benefit.

    Anyone here ever done this?

    svo has some good ingredients..
    at the time of manufacture the b-rally craze was happening too.
    I am surprised that car was not in it running like a legendary volvo.

    200 to 248 foot pounds from factory. does not need much to fly around in the dirt.

    I still chuckle over the 80s subarus.. some of the stuff they implemented, never really went full ahead with it.

    now is a good time as any to get 4 cyl stuff going.

      '80s had some crazy shit for rallying. That was the golden age for that type of racing.

        I agree.

        the midmounted stuff was desperate, on the ther hand there is real companies that stepped up.

        the porsche 953, and other productions...

        it is a source of shame the gavel that brings it all down.

        This reminds me of the EVO being done with. I narrated its demise before it happened starting in the 90s. Good riddens.

        the real stuff needs to come back.
        RWD is one of them.
