Was owned by a good friend who did TSD rally and passed away. I acquired it and kept modding.

Tomorrow's install: DMS 50mm rally suspension. Pics soon.
 
Nice car, good luck with the build.
 
This is very clean, I really like it a lot.

Where did you get the small scoop on the hood that is in back of the hump, also could a close up of the radiator ducting be possible, on the hood and from front.

Thanks
 
Out w/ the old always blowing and replacing KYB AGXs and into dumpster.

Ready to go run over or jump whatever.
 
Whats the name of the color of t he body? :hmm:

I call the car "Greenbean Casserole".

Originally it was purplish silver. My friend who passed away choose that 1970s refrigerator green when he had my in-laws shop paint it. In a tribute to him, I'm not changing the color.
 
Wow this is really cool. Glad people still carry on their friends dreams. Got anymore plans for the car?

My late friend was a great guy and refered to everyone as, 'my friend'. Funny stories he'd tell being a white-haired older guy getting pulled over by police driving this car and cops were always surprised a youngkid streetracer wanna-be wasn't driving it.

More plans? Any ideas?

Only thing I can think of is aftermarket standalone ECU. Engine is plenty powerful for rally so anything else would just be more wheel spin and wear on tires. Gearbox recently done w/ Evo3 bits. Suspension probably best available for the car. Maybe sometype of rear diffuser for rear bumper. Aluminum 2-piece driveshaft would be nice ......when I win the lottery.
 
Im loving that skidplate (and the whole damn car for that matter). Aftermarket or custom?
Also hope my best friend would take my talon and keep it goin. Very admirable , much repect.
 
Can you elaborate more on how the skidplate is attached? Pics?

Bolts go thru the 2 front holes(upper holes in pic) then thru thick rubber insulator and washer into nuts welded into the bottom of radiator core support. Bolts go thru 2 rear holes (lower holes in pic) and into I think it is the rear A arm mounting bolt holes replacing those bolts.

Took the pic when I totally replacing my bolts w/ new ones. What you want to do is put the bolts thru a washer, then thru the skidplate, then the rubber insulator and then thru a final washer which you weld to the bolt. Whella! Bolts are now part of the skidplate assembly so quicker taking on and off w/o losing any parts.
 
I want more information on this Rally bumper, this is exactly how i wanted mine

The Hella 500s are mounted to the radiator support by Porsche suspension bracket parts I modded. The stock bumper cover that I modded slips over them. The light buckets are large PVC piping molded to the cover w/ sandable body adhesive in front and flexible Mercedes window urethane in back. I used some Porsche Cayenne bumper cover bits to fill in gaps on the sides. Can you tell I work at a Mercedes/Porsche dealer collision center?

Of course, its supposed to resemble Evo rally bumpers like this one. Actually, this is me codriving this Evo4.

that's usually my goal, if the car comes home on it's own power (or pulls on the trailer) it's a success!

Is that down at Summit?

Yep, Summit. Drove it both ways.
