Dang. A friend of mine used to do SCCA Pro Rally in the mid 80s. I wish I had a scan of one picture he showed me.
It was from an Ohio rally (I think the same one already mentioned). The start was in the middle of town. Down a ramp and down Main St (or whatever it was called). He was watching all these guys lift big-time for a bump on the street (well, a bit more than a bump). He told his co-driver, "This is rally, I'm going for it." A friend shot a photo of him at full droop with the tires at least a foot in the air. Apparently the only car that got more air was Buffum in the Sport Quattro.
BTW, if anyone happened to be there the car was a light blue early 80s 200SX. Oh, and when the landed the wiring harness dropped on there feet.

Samples from Brockway. How did these get here?

Some of those pictures hurt, regardless of whakind of car it is. In my opinion, which chances are will get bashed, is that some of those cars have potential, if done right. In my opinion i loathe all cars loaded with stickers and such. Usually those guys end blowing all of their money wighing down the car. i.e. on kid at my school, (yes still in high school), got a then new rsx from mommy and daddy and completly loaded it with heavy as rims, monters 12 in" subs and all sorts of speed preventers. The only thing he added that i'm sure he thinks made it faster and louder was a six inch grape fruit shooter exhaust TIP!!! I like cars that keep a factory look. My 944, i wanna keep my fuch's, they are sexy! I'm sure this has happened to many a person here too, where some random person rolls up at a red light and says, "what you got under there dawg"? My reply is stock and damn proud! On guy i know did his eclipse right. No trashy stickers, no big honkin exhaust tip. Just nice chrome rims, a stainless steel slightly larger than factory tip. It sounds great and looks beautiful. I;m just gonna end it cuz i know it will be much longer than this if i keep going. Just remember, opinions are like *** holes, everyone's got and one and everyone's stinks.

Tony K. - since you've been such a good sport, and actually seem to encourage this hijack, here are some Lotus shots I found. Sorry, no rally action. Loti are too fragile for that I fear.

Well, the car looks damaged... You never know

Speaking of ricing on the cake... I mean roof...
