I'll have to dig out the bits now!

Re: 1974 LA Lancer Classic Rally Build

Nath, have to go with the Lancer for handling, we ran the basic Galant front end with the wisbone style swingarms. We had a good ten years of play time before the Galants demise, never front runners but always smiling at the finish. The grille was off a GS, badge is in behind spotlights. Still have ...

Re: 1974 LA Lancer Classic Rally Build

The LA's Gearbox, Clutch, Differential and Front Struts lived in my 4G32 Powered GB Rally Car for a few years......until an unplanned inversion forced its retirement. http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/scan0003_zpsff99116d.jpg http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel...

What speed were you doing at the bottom end?? the car must've topped out with a ratio that short
Can't remember speed, but that is why we parked it...revving too hard in top.

Re: 1974 LA Lancer Classic Rally Build

It had plenty of traction, 4.6 LSD and tramp bars. The diff housing was bent and braced to give some negative camber at rear...not really concerned about tyre wear are we! Had 2 good runs and then parked it before something broke. Started a major rebuild in 2011, after being stored for a few years. ...

Re: 1974 LA Lancer Classic Rally Build

Getting the hang of this, shot of engine when bought, still the current engine that is being rebuilt. I believe it is the original engine/configuration that Bob Riley put together. Plenty of power for a 2 litre, with c/r gearbox and 4.6 LSD. Ran 14.6 at Fast Fours & Rotaries Jamboree, 1996 I thi...

1974 LA Lancer Classic Rally Build

Hi, Over a period of time starting in 1994 I have owned a 1974 LA Lancer EL 2 Door originally built by Bob Riley. I plant to post photos and some notes of what has evolved to the present. The Lancer is currently awaiting a Camshaft so the engine can be completed and installed.
