Pix of new project

Dan and I started racing the RX-7 in 2003. We've had a ton of fun in that car, it's time to try something new.

We bought a rally car-in-progress from a local racer.

The car is a 2002 Subaru WRX. It has a great cage built by Judd Weld (great name for a guy who welds things!). The car comes with a brand new motor, brand new transmission, new brakes, rally seats, rally computer, rally intercom- pretty much everything. But none of it is assembled. It's going to take a lot of work to finish this car.

The car is at RalliTek in Portland, and luckily the owner of RalliTek is interested in helping us finish the car in exchange for some exposure for his business.

We still have to gather many parts for this car, as the shell is very bare. It had been a theft recovery and was completely stripped.

The hope is to have the car finished by the spring of 2010- for the Doo Wops race, which was also our first race in the RX-7.

Future posts will include parts gathering, fabbing, installation, and dirt slinging.
