Brand New Subaru BRZ Turned Into a Rally Car

To get your vehicle licensed for rally, it has to pass a log-book inspection for safety and performance. You can either purchase a vehicle that was previously used in competition and has an existing log-book, or you can build your own.

A DirtFish customer recently asked if we could build him a fully capable rally-ready vehicle. Of course, we said yes!

Over the course five months, the DirtFish shop took a brand new 2017 Subaru BRZ (with 50 miles on it), stripped it down and crafted a light-weight, high-performance rally car. Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at the new Subaru BRZ!
