Project Si-Rally Pics.
Here are the pics of my 2000 SiR (B16A2) during the past 2 weeks undergoing it's rally-car transformation:
First up, the new fogs:
The old, busted oem fogs
The new fogs and naca-ducts. Fogs are 100watt spot-lights and were on sale for $15 at Princess auto!
Modding the bumper to make the ducts fit
The finished front bumper with new fogs:
Now comes the suspension work:
The ITR springs and dampers I ended up not using.
Pre-loaded eibach sportline spring with height collar at max height. This is one of the rear struts shown
And the front, set a bit lower then the rear for an even level stance
And here is the new ride height and stance:
Enjoy!
Would like to hear your thoughts/opinions. Good or bad!
Thanks for looking.

Forgot to mention about the ducts. The one on the passenger side will be routed to a custom airbox for the short-ram intake, which I'll be making next. The other side, I'm not sure yet.
Thanks for the nice comments.
I was seriously expecting to get ripped on...lol.
The car rides awesome. The springs are giving a higher/stiffer rate now. It actually rides smoother because it's not so close to the bump-stops anymore. haha. Body roll is about the same. I think there's some tri-pod action under hard-cornering, but thats to be expected.
It's nice to be able to blow over speed bumps and rail-way tracks without bouncing off the road or scraping the exhaust! Will be much more driveable in the winter too.

Yep.
Thanks.
Won't actually be racing it in rally events. It's mainly to make the car more practical for the type of driving I do and the conditions I drive in. And to be different.
