Rally X Monster P5t

[Crazee D]

OK I am hooked on this idea now, a Rotary (or Zetec) AWD P5T running a lift kit and running over 300 hp with 1.5 bar boost. Fully built internals, stripped interior, roll cage,
oh, yeah...and it's gonna be my daily driver too. I just remove the whole cat-back at race time.

Just need to build an easy-to-remove A/V compartment!

If the TUNNEL is there...
why not swap in another AWD transmission?

WHAT mates up to the FS-DE?

LSDs; who has used the T-F or something else...I found a couple of others (Quaiffe?sp?) too. seriously considering doing this soon.

ok, next question..
auto tranny upgrades to 5 spd or new clutch packs...any threads on this?

OR

Has anyone done gull-wing doors on a P5 yet? Ya know u just treat the 2 side doors as 1 big one and cantilever it.
Way kewller than scissor doors.

HIN Boston in 2 days!!

What the s***???

LOL, your name suits you.

I thought the rotary in a P5 was a dumb idea simply because the complexities involved and the end result. But if you are going to build a monster P5, hell ya, I am with ya, brotha. Now that would be a sight to behold.

 

[Crazee D]

Just a wacky idea

But for real...why not swap in an AWD?

 

[uclap5]

go for it. contact corksport and they can give you the awd sport 20 components for something like 3k, then youve got some fabbing to do...

 

[drumsbeloud]

whoa

 

[Familia323]

let us know how that works out for you.

 

[Crazee D]

lovin it...

props to Chris @ SPD and Chris @ Corksport

 

[Matthew]

youre nuts

 

[vindication]

wow, if you do this I wanna see the end result

 

[cable43]

um... I guess innovation and creativity has to start somewhere!!!!!!

1) check out nepoc
2) wouldnt a rotary be less desirable for rally and/or awd due to lack of torque?
3) if u are a rally buff have u been to the MFR? I dont remember seeing any other pros there when i went

I have a video of a P5 rallying on my HD somewhere.

If you're really dedicated, I say get yourself some AWD goodies from corksport and go nuts. It's always been a dream of mine, but I'm broke.

Look for the drivetrain off of a V4 Tribute, 4WD... Better yet, find a V6 Tribute 4WD and to the whole swap! Imagine the Tribute V6 Turbo with a refined transmission, in a Rally P5!!!

 

[Douggie]

(stoned) <-- Some good stuff you smokin there eh?

 

[cable43]

.............but I'm broke.

werd.. ain't it a b****

 

[Brian MP5T]

This is pointless.

Just buy a STI and be done with it...

The concept would be wicked if you could pull it off. I'd like to see a drifting p5, that would kickass!

 

[eljefe305]

actually... 12k P5 + 5k turbo (including extensive tuning) + 3-4k awd... it's still cheaper than a WRX.

obviously much cooler too

 

[Brian MP5T]

But... I don't think you understand what is involved...


STI would so own this "Mystery Car"
