Here's a clean one from the Oregon Trail Rally, this was stage 6 "Ketchum"

Just got back from an awesome weekend sweeping, still have to go through all the pics/video and decide what's worth keeping - I'll post some up when I get a chance.

Re: 3rd gen Celica opinion
wow Keith, if you buy that, you will have all the respect i could possibly muster. sure you wouldnt rather have a squareback? i got one ill sell you real cheap!
Re: 3rd gen Celica opinion
It'd be a waste to take a squareback and thrash it around a rallycross course. This, on the other hand, is rough enough that I won't feel bad if I twist it up a bit.

I just saw facebook and figured you updated this, ooo can't wait to see what goes on!
Re: 3rd gen Celica opinion
DEFINITELY keeping an eye on this. Congrats Keith!
Re: 3rd gen Celica opinion
first thing's first - it was at the pressure washer within 10 minutes of leaving dude's house. Then I spent the latter half of this day vacuuming out the interior and trunk. The PO cut the rear half of the headliner out because he said some rats got into it + the thing looks like it was infested with spiders at some point. Now it's to the point where I'm not afraid to sit in the driver's seat (with a cover on it so the duct tape doesn't stick to my legs), but the passenger seat still needs to get pressure washed. This is where I think I'm going to be drawing some inspiration from, but without as much lift -> JRally's Celica
In particular, I like the non-flip-up headlights (partly because the ones on mine don't work & cost bank to replace + it's different)

And I'm pretty sure I'm going to copy his rear roll bar at some point. I don't think there's enough room to safely extend it forward without risking cranial injury in an accident (not much headroom at all).

I'll start a separate thread once I get the engine running and start on. The first month or so is probably just going to be maintenance and getting it dependable, though there is a rallycross in 2 weeks if I can get it ready ;)
