you just hit the nail on the head, and that fact that the WRC IHI isnt made anymore makes it desirable hence the hiked price, i dont pay for extorsion.
hence this route, ive done all the variants on T3/34/etc so why not try something differant - going over the same ground that someone else already has is easy, i dont like easy i prefer the challenge

will be a gravel car primarily as thats where i like to rally, and at the moment i have a mate who sits in with me, but i may need someone a bit more proffesional if this car is as good as i hope it to be.
cheers
