I hate to brag...
but I just saw the results from that RallyX....And from how I read it ( I have been know to let enthusiasm blind me to details), the ONLY car faster than me was a full-on rally Subaru with proper coil-overs & gravel tires that was
trailered to the event!
AND I am tied for top points with one of the drivers of that car. Not bad for a DSM that's been rode hard & put away wet all its life (all 192,000 MILES of it)!
FWIW I am running stock springs, with bagged struts (kept banging off the bump stops), and M&S winter tires. My driveshaft steady bearings are shot, I have no idea how old the plugs are, the plug wires are hacked to shite, the K & N is totally plugged with Parksville dust, the back brakes drag a little, the rad leaks, I buckled a front fender, I set the wheel alignment in my driveway at night by eyeball, and the Subaru beat me by only 1% on the laptime.....
Wow did those fellas at Mitsubishi know how to build a car!
