Have you done the Aspire brake swap?

Looks good.

[jrally]

First thing on the car, Aspire brakes. Also; Aspire tranny, now BP engine, was the B6, 2-1/4" exhuast w/ a 2-1/2" CAT., 4-2-1 header, modified Miata intake manifold, MegaSquirt fuel management, n/a Capri distributor for ignition control, and adjustable cam sprockets for dialing in more torque.

how did you get such companys featured as stickers to sponsor you? i tried and failed to get any sponsors at any price.

[jrally]

The stickers are all title sponsors, required advertising on the car, at the races. I race the car in both SCCA (now Rally-America) and NASA (underwritten by USAC). Companies like Hawk, Sunoco, HotWheels, Fram are all SCCA rally sponsors. Some of these companies also offer contingency money or prizes for placing in class.

Wow, that's a lot of pictures of my car. The ones without any stickers was my first race in '04, after building the car. Not a bad start, fastest Group 2 car, out of three, '74 Porsche and a Honda CRX. I also went through three co-drivers, all newbies. I ended up winning a few awards at the end of the year. Rookie Driver for CRS, 3rd place Group 2 for SCCA S.W. (SOPAC), 3rd place CRS Open 2wd, 2nd place CRS Sprint Championship Open 2wd.

I forgot, the one sticker set, Tokico did help me out all last seasons with replacement struts. I went through about 4 sets of rears and 2 sets of fronts. The fronts were never bad, just replaced as a precaution, maintenance issue.

I found most of those using google. I found the first couple when looking for a place for my friend to rally his 323.

Nice... Obviously, I've got a ton of pictures lying around, or I can open the door to the garage, turn on the lights and just look at it. It's funny, the one picture posted of the car with the white bumper, it's not mine, but I helped build that car. It's my buddies FX-16 Corolla.

gone

[jrally]

You're right, it is. The car was parked in the lot of the Ramada Express, for the rally last December. That's the longest (short rally) in the country. Three days long, but only about 80miles of racing and nearly 400 miles of transitting. One of the only races that lets you put the car on a trailer for the transits. Sunday is a 4 lap super special, closed course, side by side with another car, great fun.
