Love what I see, but without the wiper juice cap it is incomplete so I shall reserve final judgement.

Visually I think he started with a blank sheet of paper, drew some wheels and thought that looks good  It does however look like a proper weapon. |

Mild disappointment occurs as expected peugeot content. Ditto! looks rather strange on those wheels and random ride height  hope its still 4wd at least |

Glad am not the only one that expected Peugeot content lol.
Althou am not sold why you would put such a heavy engine up front in something that looks like its been built to be driven?

In the spirit of RR I can't comment on the car, but to the controversy question - I understand the Rallye is a rare homologation special that should have an 1800 with a supercharger. AWD too if I'm not mistaken? I guess a lot of people would rather it stayed a bit more like this:  |

AWD too if I'm not mistaken? I guess a lot of people would rather it stayed a bit more like this: [picture] Yep, would have originally had a 1.8 G60 in it, with a few cc less than a normal G60 to keep it within the class rules at the time, hooked up to a syncro 4wd system. They were also unusually plush inside for a homoleogation version too, typically with very nice leather/half leather Recaros, electric windows, air-con, power steering ect.. I'm with loudandproued205 about the engine choice being strange for a stripped out caged car, same goes for the rather bulky seats. A little less wheel, a little more tyre, a little more cage and a lighter engine and I'd be drooling. Or A little more lows, a fair bit more interior and less cage and I'd be drooling. But as it is it seems like an awkward compromise that just doesn't sit right. I do still love a Rallye though, even if it's not to my taste. |

It's definitley a bit mish mash. The cage looks like a girlfriend comprimise (Why the f*** have you put those stupid bars in the way of the doors) etc etc. Can't see why he's run the A pillar bars they'd be neither use nor ornament in a crash with no door bars or cross brace.

Matt it just looks like an off-the-shelf bolt in dash-dodger, they're all like that. AE86 ones are worse, the kink is twice as pronounced! overall, its the incredibly weak wheel choice that lets it down for me, they rest is pretty dialled (apart from the aformentioned show cage and the ride height). i can think of a 100 sets of wheels that would look better on this than the ones fitted. |

That second one's much nicer, the R32 swap makes a lot more sense in it with the nice interior, lower ride height and more image orientated style to it, it all works together so much better. |
