Ice Racer/Rally Rx7 build
#28
I've always love rod millens FC rally car but I've never seen a photo like that! it looks like he uses a solid rear out of a 1st gen in that photo?
I'd want to be able to do an AWD conversion on it within 20 years, but if I do that, its getting a 3 rotor as well...
its a b2600R trans out of the truck which makes it 4wd correct? is that were the front axle is from too?

I would rather keep the turbo rear end and just have a custom driveshaft made so I can keep the IRS.
just curious but does anyone know where to get this bellhousing adapter and what kind of clutch do you use the truck clutch? rx clutch? some crazy mix of both?

you need to have a bell housing adapter machined for what ever transfercase you wanted to use. also probably use the stock t2 fly, bell housing and clutch. then you need a drive shaft to hook the truck trans to the turbo diff and figure out how to mount the front axles and modify hubs. sounds like too much work to me but good luck.

I'm sticking with my aluminum t2 flywheel.
I've thought about rapping my audi A4 for the front suspension, axles/hubs and trans stuff...
if **** is gonna need to be fabbed then well, its gonna need to be fabbed.

Then again, he had more than one hillclimb car...

Further reflection - I wonder what the Sierra XR4x4 / Escort Cosworth transmission looks like from above? That output sticking down looks a LOT like the Ford parts.

**** just got reeeeel
Picked up new gravel tires and wheels (pics to come later)
rhino lined the interior
Just finished re doing the engine bay, stripped and gutted. Just finishing the rewiring this week.
perma sleepy eye setup to come next week, no more bulky motors and pop up system.
Folded aluminum dash and AL door panels in the near future, before the end of August.
until then, I am bored at work:
