Redwarf Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 It was until last weekend. That's why you haven't seen photos of it before now. ;) Teddy, I've already removed the frangipani stickers wayne's wife stuck on it. :) Yes, it's a Hyundai Rally series car. Thus it has all the inside trppings of a rally car, and under the bonnet is a completely un-modified SOHC (it's not even the twinkie...) 1495cc donk. Sorry to disappoint you guys. I've been insturcting a lot of people with front drive cars, and have never raced one myself. I was offered this thing for a couldn't-refuse-price. So I thought I'd give wrong wheel drive a go. The plan is to run it until the end of next year and sell it for around what it owes me (someone will still be getting a cheap, good car), so it's a cost neutral exercise.

Doogs Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was gonna say a bit of respect lost for you there.... I spose it would be interesting to give it a go, but even still :) Hope the tint on the helmet is mighty dark, I would not want to be seen in that.

Hiro Protagonist Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Redwarf if you haven't already, you should talk to Wagonist/Steve on Toymods, he's in the process of prepping (last time I talked to him) an Excel rally car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
