Interest in Rally?

[Almighty Malach]

Does this mean I have to sell the STI and buy a Fiesta......... :ror:

Duh! Can I drive it one last time before you do sell it though8)

 

[RPMJ]

I guess so, you can't go both ways anymore now that the line has been drawn. :ror::mrgreen:

If I could buy an AWD 305 hp Turbocharged Fiesta I just would. I guess I have to buy a Raptor. KB has a killer flat black one.

 

[Jocko]

Same paint you use on the inside of the body."thumbsup"

Cool. I'll pick some up tomorrow and get to painting "thumbsup"

Not a fiesta, but a ford.

This is one of the hardest threads to keep track of...I post and hit enter, then I have to go back and read the last 5 posts that were entered while I was typing!

:ror: No doubt.

Nah, keep the STI or sell it to me cheap........before Casey drives it. :shock::ror:

Very tempting.

I know huh.......

R2Hobbies has a couple bodies that would be cool:

(Same as the ebay link)

I like the last Impreza, but it's only 250mm wheelbase and 190 wide. (The RS4 is 263mm and 200mm) I guess I can get the RS4 Rally 190mm conversion and flip the rear arms forward to get it to those dimensions...

Their pre-painted bodies are cool, and inexpensive too, but they typically have off-brand decals like "SUBAPU" and "MOTVL" and "DFNSO" etc. I guess you can always just paint the outside and toss your own decals on. Downside is it is coming from overseas so shipping is not quick.

While I love those bodies and have been drooling over them in the Tamiya catalog. I just can't see spending more than $25 for something than is going to be cannon fodder for the [HOONIGAN]s. :ror:

If I had the disposable money I'd buy the Cosworth Escort in a minute, paint it, and put it on display. "thumbsup"

 

[flapjack]

im supposed to be getting a tb01 from a freind...im not out of rally quite yet i dont think....best thing about selling the rs4 is their is supposed to be 2 more drivers coming "thumbsup" ive already got my body for the tb-----

So you will never be buying a Tamiya body then? I spend about 50 per body.

I totally agree I am too hard on the car for something like that. I only get a month or two out of each body.:ror:

Not for a while yet, but never say never though. I want the 2008 body but I can't justify spending that right now. I'll be ordering a 2004 HPI body I guess.

Trying to figure out a paint that will stick to the outside so I can match it to the Subie. What about Tamiya plastic paint?

I have heard that the Krylon fusion stuff works great, but you may want to look around a bit to make sure.

This is one of the hardest threads to keep track of...I post and hit enter, then I have to go back and read the last 5 posts that were entered while I was typing!

I've been thinking about adding a rally section to the site, what do you guys think?

Duh! Can I drive it one last time before you do sell it though8)

I still haven't gotten my first chance, I think Rodney is scarred of Hammertime!

I guess I have to buy a Raptor. KB has a killer flat black one.

Dibs on the STI.

I think Tanner is a bit of a douche.:mrgreen:

You don't like Tanner, you don't like Pastrana, but you love Block?

Damn do you have a thing for guys that actually know how to drive?
