Share what you did to your Rally Car (or Rallycross Car) with the community!
Pictures encouraged!

Example: I put it up on jack stands and power washed the 50 pounds of concrete mud off.
Example: Finally got my rally intercom wired.
Example: Installed a straight pipe and it sounds amazing!

Anything goes....

I drove my car to work. Trivial, perhaps, but considering it hasn't moved under it's own power since 2014-I'll call it a start.

Boneyard 2.3 was installed a couple days ago, and other than a trip to the gas station, the drive from Simi Valley to Universal Hollywood was the maiden voyage for the "new to me" engine. Seems to run ok.

Next step..-operation acquire maximum funds for rally build.

In 10 days I'll be dragging a honeywagon to North East Oklahoma for 6 months(Big Feature film).

Should make decent $$

When I get back-it's build time!!

Here's my car next to my honeywagon today:

No underhood pics but replaced all coolant hoses and a bunch of crusty old vacuum hoses today on the 2.3 focus today.

Got a P0172 code("Bank 1 System too Rich") code the other day. LTFT's are still off after vacuum hoses replaced.
Smoke test shows ...looks like my plastic intake manifold is cracked.
I had to replace the one on my other 2.3 zx3 "recce" car last year due to being cracked.
Knew I should have just put a new one on in this car too when I was putting this boneyard engine in recently... but no...I didn't.

Intake is on backorder from Ford.
Oh well...

It's not like it isn't already the slowest rally build on the planet anyway-so no rush! Crusty old rallyx pic of the car at HDT rallyx in Ridgecrest attached for posterity...
