Question WRC rally car parts

Does anyone know where I can find a list of parts that are on the WRC rally car that like Petter drives? I want to get my car as close to their car as possiable.

call prodrive, and start sending them suitcases full of hundreds!

seriously, there is no way you're going to find part numbers for most of the things on those cars.

Damn, I didn't think it was that bad. I was hoping to find out a little something. Oh Well I, guess I will have to go drive for Subaru, or work for prodrive. No wonder there big brake kit cost so much.

well, you can probably order Sparco seats that are basically the same as the ones used in the rally cars. wheels might be doable, but they're going to be $$$, probably upwards of $500/wheel. the suspension that they run on the WRC cars is custom built to their specs by companies like ProFlex (i think) and can run upwards of $15k/set. you could probably score a set of roof vents, but i'm pretty sure that the WRC rear wing is virtually unobtainium. see where this is going?

I've seen a copy of the WRC car's front bumper sitting in the loft over at Bozz Performance. It was only elevendy million bucks.

those wheels are like 18" cold cast magnesium alloy from OZ racing.

500$ a rim would be a bargain.

I think maybe closer to 1000$ per rim... those things don't get bent o_o

the WRC teams destroy rims on a regular basis, just watch Rally Cyprus or Rally Germany, and you'll see guys driving on the hub becase they smashed the lip of the wheel and broke all the spokes off.

I guess I can't even come close to that. But I see where you guys are going. I will just have to win the lottery and have them downgrade a car so I can drive it on the street.

somehow i'm betting that it required a deal signed in blood, and his firstborn was one of the terms of payment...
