He isn't in the WRC yet.. Ford will be racing in Rally America.. he will be doing some testing in the WRC and may have a guest appearance from time to time to see how he does. I believe he raced an older RWD Celica in Finland last year
Block would be one of the few and first USA drivers in the WRC.
Just trying to piece together some info.. please correct me if I'm wrong
We will need the 27 spline differential.. which can be pulled from a
2004-2005 Subaru WRX STi - these are clutch type CLSD with a 3.9 ratio
2006 Subaru WRX STi - Viscous VLSD with a 3.54 ratio
shucks.. I really want a 3.54... but I want a clutch type =/
Is there a 3.54 CLSD option?
Keep in mind Aviation Fuel is designed for airplane engines running a fairly solid RPM for long periods of time.. around 3-4000 RPM...
not high revving, rapid RPM changing engines like a car
might I add..
my buddys dad owns a go-kart company.. producing and manufacturing race karts.. so he is a bit wealthy
and after his 2nd season they pulled out
but imagine the advertising they put out over the 2 years for the company.. =)
I have a buddy who raced* in the Atlantic Champ Car series..
for a single season his parents cough up almost 1.5 million dollars to support the team, tires, brakes, engine work, the car... etc etc
and thats WITH sponsors
Random question..
during a 3.0L build.. and slightly over sized pistons.. what do we do for a head gasket? since the pistons bore is now larger in diameter?!
Try actually working on the car when its on a rotisserie and dont be intimidated lol
Cage.. Stitch welding.. Subframe connectors.. beautiful undercoating =)
$7,000 L28eT build?
or lordy.. for that amount of money.. swap in a RB or a V8.. seriously. Its pointless to modify and tune a 40 year old engine.. the advances in a newer engine and reliability will surpass a L28 any day
Running 11's on a L28 with a good driver is possible on a moderate build.. which you can do for well under $7,000. But 9's?! thats a whole new story
how much are ya payin to have the shop do the project if ya don't mind me asking?!
EDIT.. maybe i should read the last sentence in your previous post. sorry
