Most people use the old s cars for circle rack racing. The SL would need suspension mods and just doesn't have the power for the rally terrain IMHO.

What's the mileage and how much oil does it use?

Not to sure on the mileage only because the gauges are off and need new ones or check the wiring. The gass; for now I use it for work and back home witch is not to far.

Never said it couldn't be done.
J​​​​​ust offering up what I know and my perspective....
Most of what little aftermarket support there was for the s cars vanished 15 years ago

Full speed ahead, Cap'n.

Can you do your own fabrication?

Maybe hang out at a few circle track races if for no other reason than to find out where these folks are getting parts or which parts they are modding from other vehicles to reach their objectives. It's of course not the same setup you'd use for a rally car, but it's a starting point.

Must be a way to get the DOHC rear anti sway bar in there.

As you've already figured out, my 97 SC2 w/263k and 95 SC2 w 236k are both bone stock.

Be wary of too many smog mods, I think I see California plates on your car. The C.A.R.B. does not have a sense of humor.

Just a thought, but what mods do you have that make you think you need to adjust the fuel system? If the engine is stock and the cams are stock and you don’t have boost, chances are that doesn’t need a fuel system upgrade. The S series cars actually run pretty rich going wide open and people oftentimes will lean the mixture to gain power
