Re: Rally Cross
Yeah, alignment will be off if you adjust it at all. Driving in dirt won't affect much with bad alignment, but I wouldn't want to drive on the road very far with bad alignment.

to be fair, i refuse to rallyx the SlowTI this year. the Gravity Park Twin Performance stage rally was enough like a rallyx to convince me that the car's powerband and gearing match up so poorly for low speed stuff it just isn't fun (n/a ej257 using turbo cams and manifold ftl). i'll be back next year at rallyx's though with our extremely overbuilt open class engine lol

Re: Rally Cross
This seriously makes me want to ditch the coilovers and put better springs on my stock struts just so I can do some rallycross.

10"? Not enough. Also, ditch the sway bars, they just add weight.

we run slightly softer springs than we really should, the sways actually help. (actually if you look at some heavily prepped rally cars, such as CPD1, you'll find they use surprisingly stiff sway bar set-ups - and not in the stock location either)

Re: Rally Cross
Believe me, I know all about the importance of sway bars. I wouldn't even think about running a car that loosely sprung on tarmac without some thick bars. I'd just like to see what happens when someone does, is all.
But then again, I suppose that cage helps a bit with chassis stiffness.

Re: Rally Cross
I'm sure Matt will do just fine at rallycross.
Maybe when he does come out to a rallycross it won't be icy and raining!! And he won't be riding in a CRX!!
Seriously it would be good to see ya out there. I was going to run all this year in the MR2, but I've put too much work into it to run it around on the dirt. I ran it last year and just couldn't quite get it to hook up right. I gotta practice, but I want a different rwd car for it.
And BTW, I have taken FTD before at rallycrosses as well (well shared it with Jim Cox)! So every dog has his day. Even Mark U will tell you he is not immune to being beat. I wish I had a 1g again to run around out there. But for now I will sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else. Unless someone with a RWD would let me borrow their car. And not be too upset when I beat them in it!!

That was a rough day... I've become more resistant to the elements and have learned to plan ahead for unexpected weather since then.

Re: Rally Cross
That's good!!
Honestly I can say that I have seem some very good autocrossers come over to rallycross and whoop up on some good drivers. Don't think that just because they have never competed on dirt that they can't be fast at it. I poke fun at autocrossers all the time and they poke back. But both disciplines take time and talent to master. I have great respect for all competitive drivers no matter what surface they run on. I just prefer to do my racing in the dirt.
