Whizbang's Rally Car

Post by Whizbang »

for the lengthy back story, you can go here --> http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/s ... hp?t=13900

but the current state is below.

Currently the 1.6 B6 engine is disappointing and with the transmission developing various grinds, I think I am going to covert to an s4 13b since the FC subframe allows for easy mounting. I also need to space down the rear of the subframe so that the movement of the lower control arm is proper.
