Well the beast was perfect.

The Rally was nuts, Friday night started with 6 stages that were on the edge of a cliff, 8" ruts, large rocks sticking up, many cattle guards (which were more like launch ramps). We also were raced downtown, on pavement and gravel while the fire department sprayed down the road - causing slippery chaos. Check out u tube and type in pacific forest rally and check out the wrx that ran up the telephone cable! The light set up was perfect so was the 110 amp alternator.

Saturday was a grulling day. Cars flying off cliffs backwards and upside down, others ripping transmissions out, others rolling into banks, the audi tt had its navigator puke all over its computer then ended up flipping and causing a lot of body damage to the very nice car......etc. The volvo ended up with a few bumps herself:

a)almost had the turbo being ripped off when a rock hit the side exhuast - now going to vent out the back.

b) all the rear bushings were destroyed causing a really loud and hard to control rear end - now going to all polly

c) the steering wheel almost fell off - now have a quick release issota race wheel

d) and the brakes need to be rebuilt....

Besides that the race was perfect - Finished 16th overall, and third in our class.

Once photos are ready I will send the links...

I hope to see you all out at the next rally on November in Kananaskis...
