Nice! I hope I see this in person some time soon.
Are you just going to do Rally-x for a while?

I have heard that there are a lot of good people at rallyX here to help get into stage rally, so I'll definitely be doing a little rallyX here and there, also it's great practice!
I hope it's running soon so you can check it out!
Thanks for following!

nategr8ns · 12-23-2011, 04:56 PM

Nice. Do you know where I can find info on rally-x in the seattle area?

hawkasock · 12-23-2011, 05:02 PM

I just moved up here a couple weeks ago so I don't really know where everything is.. But definitely check out SCCA! There's always a lot of info on there about local events

BACANA · 01-29-2012, 01:37 PM

hows it coming along? too bad you moved just before the first AZ Rally X event!!! you missed out

hawkasock · 01-29-2012, 02:50 PM

I know! Pretty upsetting.. It's going along slowly. I've been working with a hydraulic shop to get my fuel system sorted out. And a buddy of mine has been helping with the wiring. I should have the fuel system done in the next month. And then hopefully it will start! And I know a month is a long time but I much prefer working with local shops than ordering pieces online. It's just easier.

hawkasock · 02-02-2012, 02:59 PM

I've been doing lots of very unexciting wiring work lately so i havent posted many pictures! but i just ordered some new parts and ill have pics of them installed as soon as i get them!

Here is the old radiator. I thought it could use an upgrade...

c10seth · 02-02-2012, 03:14 PM

Nice looking build.. welcome to the NW!

Have the vents if you're still looking.

Also, have a bunch of rally related GC parts if you need help sourcing anything.

I see a lot of people have trouble installing aerocatch hood latches. i tried to take some pictures so you can see how these things really work. YES, they are a huge pain to install. Tips: buy a huge magnet, so when you lose your nuts, washers, sockets into the depths of your hood, you can retrieve them. all in all they are worth the trouble of installing and they look great. I just bought a welder and a new dremel so hopefully you will see lots of updates in the near future

Here is some of the contents of the areocatch hood latches. and some reinforcement plates i made just to make it rally-proof!

i had to hammer down the hood bump-stop thingys to make my plates fit more snug.

TaDa!

make sure you have sharp drill bits, having a dull one brake in your hood is never fun

taping down the template, and starting to make the incisions!

hawkasock · 02-04-2012, 08:06 PM

Thanks for all the subscriptions everyone!!
I love the subs..

hawkasock · 02-05-2012, 11:29 PM

More updates from the rally lab!

Fun stuff! tomorrow is monday! that means new parts coming in the mail!

like these kinds of things!

hawkasock · 02-13-2012, 12:49 AM

Here are some recent pictures

new 3 core mishimoto radiator, some wiring work, and some amatuer welding on the dash bar

DAS97sport · 02-13-2012, 12:52 AM

I've never seen hood latches like that... I like them! All that wiring would scare the crap out of me. Keep it up man!

hawkasock · 02-13-2012, 01:04 AM

Aerocatch hood latches, pretty unnecessary.. but they look awesome imo. yeah its pretty nerve wrecking haha. Thanks!

hawkasock · 02-23-2012, 07:35 PM

did a ton of work this week, getting fuel lines in and finishing some wiring, bought all the fluids to get it started and with some advice from David Shipton, we got her to turn over! now to the gas station to buy some fuel!
