Rally 2Gs Pictures

[mitchellling14]

Thinking about building a rally 2g. Does any one have some pics of there builds I already know my motor, cage, drivetrain plans but need some inspiration on looks. I will have a front bar with lights and possibly a top bar with two. So if you got pics of your build or just some others you like post away. 1gs are accepted to but only rally cars.

You don't want to build a 2G for rally. The double balljoint front suspension is totally inappropriate for it versus the 1G Phearsome front struts.

already seen these actually if you look under autocross I had a dirt car build.

I like 1g better but I can get a killer deal on 2g that just needs motor and tranny that was truly built for 600hp. I had a 2g 420a so I know there suspension set up isn't as good and I've thought about trying to trade it for a 1g shell.

The 2g front split damper fork is too weak for performance rally. All of the very few I've seen broke it (and/or the double ball joint) by stage 2 and all have learned that lesson to never again return with a 2g! Even the ones that reinforced it broke. I've been in performance rally many years. You've been warned!

However I can give you plans for my light bar if you wish. Just send me a pm with email address that accepts attachments.

But you do have a 2g for rally right?

How did you overcome those problems you mentioned, would like to know more.

Thanks

Driving around in the snow != Rally.

Killer deal or not, you are wasting your time with a multi-link front suspension!

So then it would be ok for snow rally but not for any other type, if any other type was the suspension changed or modified.

Are there aftermarket solutions for that or it is just a lost cause.

Is it common practice for people to just have the timing belt sitting there prettily off the cam gears?

Also that placement of the coilpack and wires are scary.

I use my 2g for Time-Speed-Distance rallies (winter and summer). My performance rally car was not a DSM. 1g DSM works great for performance rally however (although they usually got beat by WRX and other newer more hp brands once they started to appear on the scene). 2g suspension just can't handle the pounding a performance or stage (eg. logging road) rally requires. I've never seen any aftermarket suspension that survives on a 2g for this case - it's pretty much a lost cause. I agree, stay away from multi-link front suspension for a performance rally car. [It's also very difficult to find any frame to bolt a skid plate into on a 2g.]

Thanks for your answer, although though by many to be an excellent suspension I am still not convinced, even for road racing which is my bag of peanuts.

Always been interested in rally, that is why I stay tuned to these threads.

I might just take your warning on this because I will be pretty hard on it. I could get this car and trade it for a 1g pretty easy I just know who ever gets it through trade will get the better end of the trade. I know a lot more about 1g any ways I've built the n/a cars for a few years now for dirt track use. I do like your light bar though.

cars already gone plus I have the car and motor already. Your cars my favorite car out of all the 1gs I've seen though. I've commented on your journal before love how you built the front bumper pure creativity.

You saying that 2G is sold? I was just going to post the the timing belt is back on and there is youtube video of it running after the head gasket was replaced recently.
