Too bad he lost to a MotoX bike rider driving this Subaru :

McRae rolled the car in the final round, giving gold to MotoX bike rider Travis Pastrana.

Imagine that - a MotoX Bike Rider beats the one of the best rally drivers in the world at their own game. The yanks must now think "LOL OUR BIKE RIDER CAN BEAT SOME WRC GUY SO WRC SUCKS MAN" :whistling:

Los Angeles -- Less than 24 hours after making freestyle moto history with a double backflip, Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom won the debut X Games Rally Car Racing event. But rally legend Colin McCrae did his best to steal Pastrana's thunder on the final turn of the final at The Home Depot Center.

McCrae, who entered Saturday's "Super Special" ahead of Pastrana by 0.5 seconds overall, appeared to be headed for the gold as he re-entered the stadium for the final push to the finish line. That's when the car got loose on McCrae and co-driver Nicky Grist and rolled over. True to his reputation as a rally car racing legend, McCrae didn't miss a beat, kept his foot on the pedal, and when the car landed back on its tires gunned to a silver medal finish -- missing gold by just 0.52 seconds.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
    • Chihuahuas... Little and yappy. That could describe a bogan we all know...
    • Only a little block, around 530 or 550?  Big enough for what I need, but small enough to be fairly low maintenance  As for dogs, I want some Chihuahuas,  strange, but true
