Engine
Over the next couple of weekend we are going to do a full tune-up on the engine. Swap the beat turbo for another not so beat turbo.
Manual boost controller-ipd?????
K&N air filter
what cam does the engine have??? Dale could sell him an A-cam with a gear and IMO this would help while rallying....give more full throughout the power band...so while going a bit sideways around acorner keeping the rev's up you actually have power
take out anything you don't need obviously....move battery to the boot....i would keep PS in there though...

Suspension
Bilsteins-all 4 corners
Springs-???????????
25mm sways from ipd
poly everywhere-eventually -not a priority
bilsteins good choice...got koni if he wants to adjust the dampening etc. bil's are cheaper though and will work fine
springs...TME's work well...also for 240's i love the eibach springs....Jenni has them on her 240 and i love the ride
25mm sways...i am not sure...i would go for maybe 25 up front...21-23 in the back...plowing into a ditch, tree, or bank wouldn't be the best to do...set it up for oversteer on that bitch...

Exhaust
The rules insist on a cat. So we have to cut out the magniflo and install a cat. Does he keep the side pipe or go out the back. Do you guys think the cat will be quite enough or is he going to need another muffler. Does anyone sell a 3" over the axle cat back system???
exhaust...do it custom...downpipe, cat, the do a rear exit with or without muffler (check his regulations, if he has to do the "must be below 86db at 4000 rpm, measured 50 feet to the side of the vehicle"...thus one reason for a rear exit, as you wont pass this with a side exit exhaust, the other being getting misc. things stuck into the exhaust pipe while going sideways a bit...

Any suggestions for seats, harnesses and role cages???????
pretty basic...6 plus anchorage points, make a harness bar, 5-6 point harness min 3 inch wide belt...faom padded all that shiz
by NO MEANS am i a rally champion or even driver (yet) but this is what i perceive to be good things....maybe Ian G can chime in...with his rally experience he would have some great ideas i assume!
