Building a 1998 C230 Rally Car

Oh what fun this is going to be! We have a local rallycross and it is basically bring what u got. So we have a C230 lying around the shop with a Blown Head Gasket and a salvage title. So instead of junking it we are going to rebuild it and go play in the mud. So I will have an entire interior for sale along with AC parts. Interior is Gray.

Things to do:
Strip Interior
Remove AC
Install Roll Bar
Install Race Seat and Belts
Install CLK Bushings in Front LCA.
Remove all unnecessary weight!
Remove Exhaust

If the car doesnt have enough power we will add a turbo!

Hi Darth Speed, What type of rally are you doing? Is it a navigational rally or a speed rally over forest roads? like the WRC? I used to rally in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand in years gone by. Ahhhhh such thrills. Good Luck. and enjoy.

Might want to check your sanctioning body rules...some classes you cannot strip interiors, there are no sanctions that allow you to remove cat converter, etc. Do you know what sanction body you will be racing in? Where are you located? What are your goals? In MOST cases it is far cheaper to buy a used car and get some stage miles under your belt.

Hi CatButt, Thanks your reply. No, I'm not wanting to race. Just wanted to know how the rallying scene is like there in the US. I used to rally in and around Malaysia, under the auspices of FIA. I am in Melbourne, Australia.
