Greetings from Germany
Wow! Great forum!
I have already found lots of infos for my next project.
I plan on running an RX-7 (79-80) in the 2010 Rallye Monte Carlo Historic.
The RX-7 is elegible because in 1979 a single RX-7 was entered by a japanese Team.
So I have been checking which parts interchange from the later models and what modifications make sense.
By the rules we are strictly limited to a 79-80 Body, with a little more leeways on drivetrain and brakes.
The ideal setup would be using an early body, with later suspension & brakes and a later motor but still carbed.
Most important part probably is a good LSD for the rear. Torsen sounds nice - but I really like the old detroit locker.
Anyways I still have a lot of reading to do ..
Anyone else rallying their RX-7 ?

Hajime NAKAGAWA will drive the Historic Monte Carlo Rallye 2009
Mr. NAKAGAWA was the first and only RX-7 entry in the 1979 Rallye Monte Carlo.
That event was the debut of the Rallye RX-7 in international competition
It finished first in Group 2
I am really looking forward to meet him.
I will post pictures - promised
