S15 turned from Drifter into Gravel rally car in Australia

[J monk]

Hi team, just a quick introduction. Name is Jack, from Sydney in Australia. Built this car over last few months and are competiting in the Australian 2WD rally championship. Events are mainly gravel based and have completed one round already where we placed 2ND outright behind one of the factory back Honda's. I'll try and do a build thread as have documented the entire build with pics.

Basically we turned this fresh JDM import from how it looks here

Into this

And finally into this

Welcome to the club mate! It's about time someone made a rally S15 I see it as a modern day mk2 escort.

Top effort finishing 2nd behind a works team, i look forward to seeing further results and videos

Pretty much standard engine, tractive sequential box and a nismo 2-way
