Little bit of help please!!
Hey guy's! I need some help. I am going to be picking up a 91 eclipse gsx, and i need help modding it. where do you guysgo to get your seats, harnesses, rollcages, wheels, etc. i am not building a full on dirt rally car, but a tarmac car/ autocross/ SOLO II car. I live in Tucson, AZ half the year, and then in Prescott, AZ for the other half (school at Uof A) So please help me out all you can. thanks!

Re: Little bit of help please!!
first, pick what Solo II class you want to run in, then we can tell you how to set up your car.

Re: Little bit of help please!!
solo II is autocross
you don't need any equipment, the only thing that I advise you getting to start is good tires. with your current setup you're in STS, you'd be in H-Stock if you took off your TB Spacer (doubt its doing a hell of alot anyway). For tires I would go to www.vulcantire.com and get some Falken Azenises, i believe they have a size that fits on the factory 3G GS rim.

Re: Little bit of help please!!
you said tarmac/autocross/solo II, none of those are rally
you can't do prorally until you do clubrally first, and you can't drive in a clubrally until you navigate in a clubrally first. Go out and find someone to navigate for.

Just do what I plan to do.. SCCA Rallycross first, you really dont need much equipment to run in it. Just get a feel, and see if you'd like to proceed.

Re: Little bit of help please!!
The only similarity between (SCCA) Rallycross, and real Rallying, is the fact that it's on dirt.
