Yup…tried to get JV to give me a Believe hat in exchange for the logo placement and he said I should just wait till they’re restocked…but I’m going to do it anyways as I know even the concept of FE will stick like a thorn in the side of many other blue haired by the book bores who participate. Her is her render. She is being assembled at this moment. Rear diff and damper setups arrived, all custom long travel arms and reworked Brembo brake system mounted. Braid wheels, Kevlar skids, custom cage, custom light pod, blah, blah, blah. Engine goes back in in February and should have her racing mid year when lacrosse season ends. She is a modern interpretation of the BRE 240zs that raced Baja. Baja racing is too rough for such things these days but for stage rally racing (real rally racing not gumball BS) this will do.2E073874-87F4-494E-942A-655E249098AD.png

I would be happy to do so…yet…I may suggest a different tact if you and the FE boys truly want to do that. I’m NH and you see…we have these neat little playgrounds and companies here—Q, Sig, Team O’Neil, Ridgeline…and oh yeah, just across the border from O’Neil you have Tucker’s place. Very easy to arrange a day of use of it (and other cars) in a private driving and shooting facility with a visit to Q or to drag Tucker into the whole thing…

This sounds like a plan. We can do it.
 
Car will be finished in the next couple months. Rear differential arrived Thursday, dampers in transit, ancillary parts and engine being put into chassis currently. I’ll keep posting updates. To show it’s not just a render (which some might have in their head) here are the custom front spindles that are being installed now. Based on a Subaru STi design that we then moved all suspension and pickup point to accommodate. Should run like 14” of travel. Rear has been similarly custom worked. att.8Ac_t45kssZkhTJE9Mi39dmagu0OoM7hJoWf0B7WFTs.jpeg
