YES. They were when the RX-7 first came out and STILL are to this day.

Yeah they're pretty popular in rally because they're cheap and easy to make fast. Just make sure they're legal to run in your class (duh!) because IIRC SCCA was trying to outlaw old (<20 years old) cars from rally because they were actually being so sucessful.

Good luck and happy rallying!

The excuse for banning them was that they didn't want 20+year old rally beaters out there endangering people/other drivers.

the metal guard under your car... protects the oil pan/radiator.

That way you dont spew oil and crap all over the place when you bottom out... I need to get one put on my Xtreme, cause the previous driver already ruined the oil pan by bottoming out on it.
