could anyone get a picture of the underside of Higgins' rally car? to see if it is the real deal, or if it is just dressed for the show?

 

I haven't seen the one @ any of the auto shows, but I used to be a mechanic for a SCCA rally team, and I saw Rhys Millen's EVO a bunch of times, plus tons of other EVO's being used as rally cars, and yes, they were all the "real deal" some were even right hand drive.

 

I think you mis-understood, I am just wanting to sneak a peak at the underside of the rally car at the L.A autoshow to see what the exhaust, sump guards protection plates ect it has been built with.....as it wiil vary from Rhys' evo 6 and even the 7 .....Cool job to have though .....did they pay you well?

 

Oh I see what you're saying, well,, I have no idea then :/
Pay me? It was strictly volunteer work... the team has an
Impreza (originally automatic, no turbo, now 5 speed/turbo/motec engine management etc.), VW Fox "kit car" AWD, and Ford Escort Cosworth. One cool thing was getting to see all the cool rally cars close up and personal, like the Hyundai's with Mitsu motors under the hood, things like that... it's no WRC mind you, but still very cool.
