Yeah, I want a RWD car as my next fun project. I think we will have another DSM down the road in the household with Jana cause she still talks about missing her GSX.

I'd be up for converting my current 1.8 to RWD if the swap was "reliable" and not over expensive. But then again I don't know if it would be allowed in some events for Rally. A 240 might be in my future and I also looked at the AE86. I just don't like them. Was also thinking of maybe any older stang but that's been done.

The plan is to use teh 1.8 this year in the rest of the rally x events i get to and either work in it and stay FWD (ick) or get into somehing RWD by fall pending money and what I decide to go with.

The MR2 of course. :) The Fiero is also a RWD sport compact, with a good engine swap they can compete as well.

Of the other ones mentioned, I wouldn't mind a Sylvia. heheh

How about a porsche 944 turbo? Already turbo'd, intercooled, 50/50 weight distro, plenty of mods out there, and you can get them for a decent price.

why would you rally a 944 or a S2000? Those cars are way too nice for that! You should get a 240 or some 80s trash mr2 or something like that. If you are thinking newer; buy a new Cobra. Make sure to tell the dealer what you will be doing with it. Better yet, show him:)

Yeah just go flying out of the parking lot into the nearest field.
I'd go 240, older corolla/celica, or one of the z creations for rally. Ever thought of a 1st gen rx7? I had one of those, the are very nimble, and fairly easy to find parts for.

How about.....


an AWD DSM. If you want to Rally Cross get an AWD or FWD.

The AWD class is so competitive and packed. i don't mind the competition but wouldn't mind a change either since I have done the AWD thing. But it's what I will do over FWD if I don't get into something RWD. I just don't enjoy FWD.
