Looking for examples of FC3S 2nd Gen Rally Race Winter Car

Hey Guys,

Every year went it starts snowing in my Michigan hell hole I die a little on the inside. I miss the excitement of driving my car. I would love to have a winter rally setup to keep the fun going. I searched but I did not find any good FC examples. Can someone help me out?

I think a set of winter struts/coilovers with a slight lift (1-1.5 inches), skinny knobby tires on the front, and some very aggressive knobby/paddle tire out back would be a blast to drive. It doesn't sound hard, but I would like to see some examples.

I have alwasy prefered the "Glacier Grip II" snow tires over knobby tires (provided by "knobby" you meant studded), but that is just me.

Check this out. I have seen a 2nd Gen rally car too, but I can't find it right now. You could basicly add snow tires and be good to go. Here is a link to the article. http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009...lis-rally.aspx

I am from michigan (bay city) and I drove my car all last winter on some shitty all season kumhos. It was like rally racing everywhere! (and by that I mean I don't think I stopped sliding for 4 months lol)

Man, that actually sounds like so much fun, definitely something I'm gonna end up tackling later too. But yeah I'd say some nice snow tires and I don't know what your course conditions are gonna be like, but if it's anything like it's like here, you're gonna want a pretty soft suspension setup.

I found some more pic here http://www.prorallypix.com/RX-7/rx13.html
Funny thing is they have the same cooling mod to the front bumper I did this summer. Looks like they are lifted slightly, I am still looking for strut that would so that.
