Track Bred EG6 Build… Part 18
Today I’m back with yet another exciting post on Jerry’s k-powered EG6. With the redesigned floor completed and fresh out of paint, it’s now time to put it back together. Today we will be taking a look at the re-assembly with the race meet not too far away and also some test fitting of the newly designed front end to accommodate for the new intake setup. With that said, I will let you guys get on with today’s post.

Daryl’s Rally K-EG Build… Part 7
It has been a while since I’ve had the chance to post an update on Daryl’s Rally K-EG Build. To recap, we saw Daryl suffer an unfortunate incident during the Valvoline Stage Rally where his hood blew up and severely damaged the windshield and roof. Fortunately he managed to have the car ready for the Scotiabank King Of The Hill, where he had a good day, placing first in his group, Modified 7. Heading into Day 1 of Sol Rally Barbados things were looking up, but he was plagued with a series of problems throughout the day that would cause him to later withdraw from the two day event.
Since the last update, he has been in the process of making some significant changes for the upcoming 2014 rally season. In today’s update we take a closer look at one of the major changes. I have also took the liberty to attach some in-car footage of him on two different stages, of which we can thank RallymaxxTv for.
As usual, for those who missed out of the previous posts, I’ve included the link below.
Starting off today’s post with some shots of the car as it sat before the Scotiabank King Of The Hill event…

As I’ve mentioned earlier, Daryl is in the process of making some major changes for the upcoming season. He went forward and made the step-up from the H pattern dogbox to a sequential Sadev gearbox.
A look at the shifter test fitted in the car…
To be sure the mount bracket was accurately fabricated, the gearbox was fitted to the engine…
