RallyX Beater purchased via the GRM $2008 Classifieds ( http://archive.grassrootsmotorsports.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=33024 ).

Came with Tokico Blues, Eibach lowering springs, no rear sway bar, & rusty everything.

I’ve added MX-3 seats, Schroth Rallye4 Harness, & Miata daisies with old azenis for the street.

Check out the link to more photos to see the classic escort strut mount rust.

8/20 Update: Now with louder (stock) exhaust thanks to partially blown out gasket just past the catalytic converter. Finished first in PF class at two day rallycross this weekend.

09/03 Update: Timing belt snapped tonight. Hopefully will be back on the road next week for the OVR Divisional Rallycross next weekend.

09/26 Update: Crank pulley keyway has major wear (aka Miata crank snout issue). Car is currently sitting in parents barn as I ponder whether to fix or scrap the car.

10/05 Update: The current plan is to do the Miata.net locktite fix on the crank and run the car in M2 next season.Started gutting the interior this weekend. Who knows, maybe I could make it to the challenge too if the stars align.
