Took a break from the 165 to put new rear suspension under the Subaru.

The DMS 50mm run very well on these cars. Check out post from Garyst165 about DMS for good info.

Re: Getting the 165 ready to Rally in 2015
We tore the end off the driver's rear toe link last year at Sandblast and had to weld repair it during service. Cost us almost a half hour on stage to ratchet strap it and limp our way into service.

Re: Getting the 165 ready to Rally in 2015
Seen any other "weak" spots on the car? anything prone to bending or anything else giving?

Re: Getting the 165 ready to Rally in 2015
We were going through rear diff mounts and cushions all the time until Xiii Motorsports sent us the poly mounts and solid diff cushion. We have not had any issues with that setup so far.
Overall the 165-185-205 shell is built very tough imo.
