I forgot to post this which explains running costs. A few of us sat down and did our own calculations and the build price they are stating at $140k can actually be done for $100k or less if you...

Here's a good look at the Evolve Skoda running Subie gear. Looks damn good too!

You can run a factory box, dogbox or a sequential. That's what's so great about it. Can spec one for 40k or go all out and have one at 80-100k with all the good stuff.

Basically an old R4 EVO or WRX on steriods. Updated shock towers and chassis strengthening aids in a better overall car if built right. STEC, Evolve and Dytko all make great protos.

Yeah too bad a lot of organizations don't allow protos to run. The Yaris, Suzuki, Mitsu, Ford and VW protos built by Dytko are decent quality and look great in person.

Yup, just old Subies and Evos. There are also the proto cars which are slowly evolving. On the cheap they can be has for $50-60k depending on spec.

All I keep hearing is how R4 is already dead??

The Baratec kits are extremely expensive. I do not see their 1600T setup being any cheaper than the R4 kits from Oreca. Bring back Group N in using Focus RS and Subaru WRX STI's

Don’t think R4 will catch on anytime soon. Too pricey

That is what the R1 class does. Search for R1 MSport Fiesta. No sequential. Not even sure if it is a dogbox...

Very cool. Evolve Motorsport seems to be doing some top notch work. The chassis work is great and the proto style cars they have are also very good. The chassis layout is a step above the Dytko proto...

Thanks for the response and quality info @sollitt

The Polo shell I saw seemed fairly decent as far as the roll cage was concerned. I think the best thing is to buy the shell and install your own...

Would you be paying taxes on the kit itself from Oreca? Are goods taxed similar to vehicles?

The biggest concern for me would be build costs. You would need to heavily modify the chassis in order to fit the 4wd drivetrain, wheel well modification, fuel cell mounting, updated subframe...

[QUOTE=Jarek Z;1156027]I think it shouldn't be a problem. Some Dytko cars have been competing in New Zealand for a long time.

I spoke with a contact who works for a WRC team and he mentioned an interesting point about the R4 cars. He said countries like Indonesia and even Australia have large taxes on imports. People who...

I'm trying to see if I can purchase a Dytko car for rallying in Australia. I've heard it's not an issue, but I would not be able to participate in Rally Australia since it's an FIA event part of the...

The Dytko cars are great cars and everything is designed in 3D cad so the fit and finish is also very good. For $65k you can have a decent set up too. This would have been the way to go. Utilizing...

I think most will agree, 108k euro before transport and misc fees is a little high for a car to bridge the gap between R2 and R5. A decent used R5 with spares can now be had for $160-180k. A new R4...
