Looks weak compared to the Aspect's red legacy rally car from BC. But this is one of the fia cage kits from Custom Cages in the UK. I ordered it from Charles at www.safedrives.com and had Barrett and Judd from www.allwheelsdriven.com put it in. Lots more stuff to come. Image

I didn't do a super special job painting it... I primered it and then painted it with 2 thin coats of Grey spray paint. Theres some overspray in a few spots. Its very hard to do a good job painting a roll cage that fits so tight inside of a car!!! My main goal was to prevent rust. But is not just primer. Even though it looks like it hehe. :o

what are you attaching the racing harness to in the back, placement is critical if you don't want to snap your seat, and spine.

good to see your project is coming along matt. But what sanctioning body are you going to be rallying in? You do know there is new ruling regarding novices getting their full license, right?

ah, you're 2wd? with the 2.2? You're going to be placed into g5 with that car.

2.2 base disp x 1.2 (4 valves per cyl).

Unless you built a screaming 1.8L engine for it.

Given if -i- were a new driving trying to get my car onto the field, I would probably swap in the 1.8L, so that I could really learn how to use the car; REALLY throw it around. Then, once it's been learned, the 2.2 would seem like it had power for days to me.

and again, rally school.

contact J.B. Niday at Rally America.

you may be able to get an exemption for that car and be allowed to run it in PGT this season.

others with some experience in TSD and rally cross that have 2.2 imprezas have.

what type of experience do you have?

its always a good idea to contact the people in charge of the series you want to race in.

i know JB pretty well and he doesnt want to keep people from racing and he will at least try to work something out for you. fortunatley you aren't turbocharged so that is something in your favor. no promises though.

the best way to get in touch w/him is a PM at the Rally America Forum site:
