Rally compilation

[cmspaz]

I've seen this vid a few times, and enjoy it thoroughly.

I've been toying with the idea of building a 1g rallyx/snowx car, as a friend of mine recently dragged me to a rallyx event to take pictures, and I've been attending ever since for that purpose, and it looks like an absolute blast.

I was curious what you did for a skid plate, though, since they don't make them for DSMs, as far as I can tell.

That is some damn good driving! I wish I could drive half that good! Can't wait to see some more.

That was kick ass!

Hi all. Question for aDee. How much did it cost you to convert your car into a rally car. I just need to know what the regulations equipment set you back because I'm planning on buying a 1G and want to know what is required and what it costs. IE: Roll cage, seat belts, seats, skid plate, other?!?

Thanks,

Tom

Probably easier and least expensive would be to buy a rally ready car. Unless you got skills, time, tools and motivation to do most of the work yourself I wouldn't build it. These are minimum prices, so it doesn't mean it's the best option:
-roll cage can't really buy a good kit, needs to be build in the shop $1500 or DIY $500
-seat belts $250
-seats $500
-skid plate $150
-helmet $250, suit $250, hans $600
-intercom, rally computer, suspension, wheels, tires, lights, various bits and pieces, ... $xxx-$xxxxx

And then the real expenses start when you begin attending the events..

I figured this would be the largest expense.
