Quick Photoshoot of our Rally Car...

Yeah I know... The jpg compression sucks and so do the pics.. But my camera was acting strange, i was hungry, and just wanted to get some halfway decent pics of our rally car..

If you want more info, feel free to check out the blog I am constantly updating at:

Handheld extinguisher goes under my legs... Eventually we'll upgrade to a nozzle system... but have to spend money on other stuff first...

Brembos don't clear 15" wheels, which are what are needed for Gravel/dirt tires.. So they were swapped for JDM Lancer Brakes.

how would you compare the stopping power between the two?

well, i cant really compare them accurately, because i never drove this evo with brembos... My STi has the brembos, and i can definitely say that it does not stop as well as my STi... But my STi is also ABS, as where this is an RS, which doesn't have ABS.

BUT.. This also still has the brembo prop valve, so the stopping distribution isn't the best.. too much going to the rear.. If/When we put in the hydraulic handbrake, i'll put in a prop valve too, and get rid of the OEM one.

These lancer brakes still do the job quite well though.

Stage Rally... no, as the car isn't logbooked yet. I have a few Rallycross shots from this winter...





I'm going to raise the car another inch or so tomorrow night... its just too damn low right now..

I'll have more action shots after this weekend.. We'll be competing at the Terryville Fairgrounds Rallycross.

Some new shoes for the street...


And the best part... FREEEBIEESSS!! Thanks to my buddy Tommy for the wheels, my buddy Matt for the tires, and to Brian for getting them mounted for me... Threw some white paint on there, a little grease, and a few scratches from mounting, and now they look like real rally wheels...
