USA Built WRC Spec Evo 9 Rally Car - JRD Tuning (pic heavy)
Figured the forums would like to see this. All work done by JRD Tuning, located in Atlanta, GA. They are building a WRC Spec Evo 9 for a customer. Genuine wing(molded in house), custom subframes, long wrc travel, etc. All of the cad work was done by hand from Johan Ragnarsson (owner of JRD).
JRD has run my Open Class Evo 9 for the past few rally seasons. You can look at my FB page for detailed pics of my car and some more of their custom work. Lots more pics of this WRC car when it is finished, but here are some right now. Sorry, no upclose of subframes, arms, etc, it is all custom by JRD to remain private. JRD is part of the Panoz group and has experience in all forms of motorsport
Suspension cycle mock up. 12 inches of travel... yes that says 12
Front End with quick release, incase of hard landings
Front end separated
Interior:
WRC Wing made in house
Body Panels being mocked up
Super Widebody rear(cant tell because the track of the car is much wider as well)
Jack Stands
All done by hand, measured with CMM
Paint is on
Motec Dash to be added
The JRD Team
Jay, Niclas, Johan
and Maggie
Tingwu Song's current car
Inside of my car: More photos here https://www.facebook.com/josephburkemotorsport
These guys can make whatever you need for your track car. Get in touch with them for any projects

Nice Joseph! Thanks for sharing. I drive past them everyday now that I'm at a race shop near Road Atlanta. I'd love to check out the facility, are they hiring lol.

For open class in RA, you can run a Haldex, if you wish. L'Estage does not. Nor does Higgins. But rumor has it, Block does (since he's addicted to the hand-brake). Do you have $30k laying around? tee hee
Or, here's a crazy thought. If the ACD is attached to the center in the same way that the VC was attached to the center of a DSM, then it connects the input to the rear output. Therefore, you could weld the center into a spool, strip the connection to the rear, and use the ACD as the hydraulic coupling to produce, in effect, a front-default Haldex. Yeah, OK; that's crazy. But it's something that I've been playing with on napkins.
edit: I should have said this in my first post in your thread: nice car

One question about the front shocks, if you don't mind. I know that one reason for having the shock come across the top of the axle is to have the room for more travel without giving up caster. But I'm curious if this design also creates anti-dive (during braking) due to the torque on knuckle from the brakes. Napkin geometry says that it would, but I couldn't get verification. It would also explain why left-foot braking is more effective with this design.
