Hehe, that looks like fun I really want to raise my car and get some cheap tires on there and take my FC off road sometime...

~370HP in the dirt would be FUN

Id imagine the RX7 would be the perfect rallyX car. I plan in putting mine in a few to see how it works out. Rear wheel drive+LSD+extremly light car= hardcore drift action.

The only thing i really want to improve on is ride height...if it was up a few inches it would be great, i worry about tearing my **** up whilst rallying.

Last year, I saw an FB on a truck lift-kit with monster tires. It was the one of the strangest things I ever saw.

I will refrain from what I think you all know I'm going to say.


......Oh, what the hell!.....

WHY, WHY, WHY!!!!????!!!!


These are some of the most beautiful cars ever. Why would you want to get it all dirty and dusty and possibly tear up the bottom? My friend keeps telling me it would be cool to do that. Um..........no.

Well, have fun with your seven, however you choose to do it!

its not like i went all rally style in the rocks/dirt. i went very slow, and there was actually a path up the hill you cant see in the picture. it was steep, but doable. its not like the car is fragile.. it can take a little off-roading

Bah, that's not offroad. If it looks like this(my truck), then you went offroad.

True. I can't really say much, because I went driving up a 4wd road at 11:00pm before a bike race this year. There was one point where I got extremely pissed at myself because there was a bump and my bottom scraped. Fortunately it wasn't the muffler. Now I've decided to put away all of this foolishness. There's no excuse if my undercarriage is trashed just because I want to have a little fun. These cars are just too nice.

They deserve better than you'd treat Katie Holmes if she came to your house.

Aaah, I thought that scenery looked a little like PA. Something about PA... Everyone has a Ford. Or a Chevy. Or a Dodge. Or a GMC. PA, (minus the cities) equals The state o' da rednecks.

Ugh. That looks sooo incredibly fun, yet sooo incredibly dirty. I wash my car every weekend, without fail.

I used to have a pic of a yellow FB on a 4x4 frame, but it's on a dead computer. Off road enthusiasts are a strange breed. We have several odd 4x4's here in Omaha. There is a Lebaron, a Camaro, a Caprice station wagon and an old van all jacked up on 4x4 truck frames. There are also several truckes lifted so much I could drive my stock height FB underneath.

I was the one doin the offroading. Notice the mud on the side and in the wheel wells. The front did get sprayed by a truck in front of me.*shrug* No need to be an *** about it.

I got a Ford because the trucks are some of the most reliable trucks made, and the Ranger has been the best selling small truck since it was brought out in 1983....Mine now has 145k miles on it, and still runs perfectly without a single problem.

Don't worry, I keep it clean too.
