That sounds like so much fun.

 

yep its lots of fun 300rwhp on gravel puts a smile on your face!!! many would say its dangerous!!! so the next step is to make it a bit safer spoke to roll cage fabricator today as it only has half cage so its getting fully tied to shell 6 point as my limited budget allows! also seems my diff walks a bit panard rod bushs?? and the gearbox is noisy not sure if its a throw away as syncros are crunching when warm tried to remove filler plug to change oil or check if it was low or empty? but the plug wont budge so didnt remove drain plug may weld a bar to it to get filler out!! will post some pics soon

great thanks for the tip kentetsu

 

No problem. Billy advised me on my build. I told him I wanted a car that I could drive to work everyday, but will win at Autocross. Following his advice, I ended up with a car that is a joy to drive on a daily basis that is still capable of eating Miatas for breakfast. Heres a thread on my latest race results, which includes a short list of cars I beat: https://www.rx7club.com//showthread.php?t=863055 I couldn't be happier with the end results.

Billy has a lot of experience in racing, and his dad was big into rally. There was a thread somewhere.... let me see if I can find it.... here you go:

A thread started by Billy, lots of old pictures of cars raced by him and his dad, along with some information. Kind of tells you what he's all about. Good read, so check it out.
