whats up, my name is Dane and i live in Montana, this is my first post and i would like to turn my 82 Rex into a rally-ish car over time. I cant buy everything right on the spot but over time i would like to make the Rex better than stock haha. Am already planning to get a weber or holley carb and intake, but i would like help finding a new header, new front and rear fenders, and a roll cage. I dont want to make her full on rally or race but i like the looks of the rally cars and it would be better for the terrain up here haha. ALL help finding these items and any other items you think would help out will be greatly appreciated. i attached a pic that is the style that i like, thanks again.

thanks baldy and phinsup, that poor guy i like this one better (link below), i like the fenders and how it sits, except for the way the exhaust sounds haha. i forgot to mention that i have a parts car and my father owns a shop that i can do all of the work on my car in (just graduated and am 18). thanks again guys.

The exhaust sounds weird because of the overlap of the porting. The front end looks like it was a custom job, nothing more than cutting holes in the bumper to increase air flow to the rad. The wail tail I think you can get from mariah Motorsports mariamotorsports.com



For suspension goodies I'd suggest mazdatrix.com but I'm not sure if they'd have anything for lifting the car



If you want to get more power out of the stock carb till you can get an aftermarket one check out sterlingmetalworks.com when you're ready to get a new carb racingbeat.com sells full conversion kits and also sells exhausts

i had checked racingbeat before and planned on buying the holley or weber intake and carb kit and just saw the exhaust when i went back and would like to buy those kits when i get the money. if anyone knows where to get the fenders, thats what i want most, i have the wrap around spoiler off of my parts car and think that will look good. thanks.

haha thanks man, i am most likely going to order my new carb/intake kit and exhaust from racingbeat.com but if you know of a better place im all ears. the fenders are hard to find haha but i am looking at the mariah mode one fenders (mariahmotorsports.com), without the bumpers so i can get the clearance that i want when i put the slight lift on. haha i know it sounds different but i want something different than most people have. thanks.
