Not too sure about the rules and such over here, as I'm still working on getting into the whole thing myself (read 18 year old kid with no money).    As for the scene in Canada, nowhere near as big in the UK, but since I moved here from England I've seen huge growth in just a few years.  

I'm very jealous of your rally car   , I've always had a soft spot for Escorts.

I had  a quick read through the 2002 regs and there's some really good bits inthere that the MSA should take notice in the uk, namely the first aid certificate.

I noticed in one of the regs for an event that the DBA level was at 86?  This is a little low isn't it...  most of the cars over here (UK) have a hard problem keeping below 100dba!!

I know one guy in his Metro 6r4 that has to keep repacking his silencer as it brakes down so quickly.

My esky is certainly keeping me busy at the mo, did some testing inthe welsh forests just before xmas and managed to slide a little wide into a tree and pushed inthe o/side rear quarter...   going into the body shop in 2 weeks just before our first event for 2003.

Are there many european cars rallying? I see the usual Scooby & Evo's etc  .. oh and a few Escort cossies (Nice!)  any mk2 escorts about?  

I'll bring mine over when I emmigrate! ehehe and my scooby now that I see that the WRX STi's are available in canada...

hmmm 25 ltr's eh.,  but is it still a turbo?

So does the canadian STI use the legacy 2.5 block then bolt on all the normal impreza stuff?

If so, How come they don't do that for the  Japan / Europe markets I wonder!

So the Evo's isn't imported offically into Canada then? no dealers etc?

I had that problem when I first got my STi5 and wanted to change bits on it.. not many companies doing much for the JAP impreza(STI) back then (1999) but after 6-12 months later, lots!

I have about 340bhp running a full GEMS ECU with Anti-lag, water injection, and all runs very well!

yeah my road car, I'll send a pic or to to my webserver and post the link in a mo..

Well, a lot of the WRX's around here have the 'look' of a fast done up car, but aren't much more than stock....so, no it wouldnt, but at the light....
you run the anti lag much, or is it there by default?

I bet that beast costs you more in fuel than anything else!  what, with gas at like 3$ a litre or something?  The highest octane at the pump I know of is 94, to get 100 you must specially order it...
