In this thrilling episode of Donut, the team embarks on a daring mission to transform their budget Subaru from a forgotten Time Attack relic into a rugged rally beast. With a budget of $3,400, they spare no expense in equipping the car with all the essentials for a rally cross showdown. From ditching the old pavement-loving setup to installing new tires, wheels, suspension, brakes, and underbelly armor, every detail is meticulously attended to in the quest for rally glory.

The team faces challenges along the way, especially when swapping out the suspension components. Despite some initial setbacks, they persevere and manage to install a stock-style strut with upgraded springs, promising better durability, adjustability, ride height, and suspension travel for the rally course ahead. The decision to opt for smaller brakes and rotors to accommodate larger tires showcases their dedication to off-road performance and handling.

With the rally tires boasting thicker sidewalls for enhanced shock absorption and grip on rough terrain, the Subaru is poised to conquer any obstacle in its path. The addition of gold wheels adds a touch of rally heritage to the car's appearance, hinting at the fierce competition it is set to face. As the team adds the final touches, including skid plates for vital undercarriage protection, the Subaru undergoes a stunning transformation, ready to take on the ultimate test at a real-life rally cross event.
