Welcome to Tarmac & Gravel

After attending the Prescott Rally in 2005, I knew I had to build a rally car. Being a dedicated DSMer, I knew I had to build a Mitsubishi. I bought 1991 Galant VR4 195/2000. But then I thought, these cars are far too rare and way too sweet for me to build one up just to stuff it in a ditch somewhere near the border, so at the Prescott Rally in 2008, I lucked out and found 1992 Galant VR4 464/1000.

This site is dedicated to [464] Tarmac & [195] Gravel. One to stay clean. One to press on regardless.

Roof Removal Continues!

Got the back light out of 195/2000 last night. Not a single crack, though a couple of broken razor blades.

Just a quick post & picture.

I should have the car to Precision Chassis Works within a couple weeks for the roll cage install. YES!

Before 195/2000 goes to Precision Chassis Works for the roll cage install, I need to finish preparing the shell. The way we’re doing things requires the roof skin to be removed which, in turn, requires the windscreen and back light to be removed. Next time you have your windshield replaced in the parking lot at work, show the technician some respect. It’s not easy.

All Are Punished

Two Galants, both alike in dignity,
In fair Phoenix, where we lay our scene,
From ancient sloth break to new irresponsibility,
Where texting fingers make drivers’ hands unclean.
From forth the fatal lanes of these Phoenix roads
A pair of star-cross’d Galants are totaled out;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death make racing possible.
The fearful passage of their death-marked titles,
And continuance of their owner’s rage,
Which, but his Mitsus’ end, nought could remove,
Is now the two minutes’ traffic of this page;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
Where here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
