Thinking of what I could use for a beater/rally car
Yeah, I'm getting rid of the RS soon, as I'm looking to upgrade the roof over my head (well, downgrade, but get away from the parents).
I know I'll need a beater for the time being, so I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone here. What would be a good beater turned Rally Car?
I've never rallied (aside from TSD and RallyX), and would like to get into ClubRally or something.
Now, I've been thinking of a 1st or 2nd Gen RX-7. Those being RWD, though, would they be much tougher for a rally n00b than, say, a 93 Impreza FWD (or even AWD)? What would be a good car in this category?
Oh, and I'm looking to keep the buying price of the car under $5,000. Thanks.

Same thing Im thinking of getting: '91-'93 Sentra SE-R.
I dont think there's a more competitive car in Club Rally Production class. It's one of very few FWD cars that came with a LSD, it has a bulletproof, rev happy, cheap, engine and it weighs in around 2400 lbs.

heh, just did a search at Autotrader.com ...nothing within 75 miles. :)
what about a 93 Integra? I have a friend with one that has high miles...but I'm sure I could rebuild the engine and stuff on that... would those be any good to rally?

Audi 4000 Quattro. Locking diffs are fun.
Tough car that's a decent daily driver and a helluva good rallyx car. And they make nice rally cars - just ask Jon Kemp.

I'm lookin for a 323 gtx right now for the same purpose, but after talking to some people and being on the 323 list for a while, I am still considering other cars.
the 323's seem a bit tempermental and hard to get parts for, but the tradeoff is that its awd and turbocharged!
I'm thinking about getting started with something front wheel drive and the SE-R is on my list :)

Integra wouldnt be a bad choice I suppose. But the motors are a bit smaller and I dont believe there are as many suspension choices. Both cars would make good cars to move into Gr. 2 or Gr. 5 further down the road. Especially since you can get SR20DE-T engines dirt cheap. And I mean [b]dirt[/b] cheap.

Yup. We just dumped our 323 in favor of a VW Rabbit because the Mazda ate a tranny everytime we were on tarmac. It also would run like ass for about 10 minutes everytime we went thru a water crossing.

the audi and 323 are both pretty unreliable, and also rare.
I would suggest a 1g DSM AWD, although those are only slightly more reliable. (at least parts are dirt cheap)
AWD turbocharged fun. [url]www.dsmtrader.com[/url]
The SE-R is a great recommendation also.
1st gen RX-7s are dirt slow and not too reliable, but there are plenty of parts.
I would say an S13 240sx would be a great choice. 91 is the best year due to a bigger cam, but 92,93 are good too.

yeah. The DSMs are great too, but I think as a beginner Id start with a FWD and then later move into an AWD when I had more money and experience. The AWD trannies are prone to breaking but the good thing is that all of the engine parts and most of the suspension bits from your FWD would be useable in your AWD.
Never thought about the 240SX but that is a good recommendation as well.

if you want dirt cheap (unless you're going to try & be ultra competitive pro rally), vw golf or gti...
firebreathing 2wd or 4wd... xr4ti (i'd do an escort cosworth conversion if I had the money or import an old mkii escort... the xrattie though isn't too bad, just ugly)
rx7 would work... i wouldn't get a 1st gen...
it's a lot better if you can get a prepped car though if you are going to do club rally... unless you got the $$$ and time.
i'd also stay away from 4wd for starting out... go for a g2 or g5 car (there lots of fun anyways)...
or you could be psycho like me and still looking for an old justy to rally with :)
i wonder what kinda power that car will make with forced induction :lol: it probably would be a great ice racing car though... everything would need to be custom fab though

I'm surprised nobody has said a '91-'94 Legacy Sport. Might be at the high end of your price range though.
| Nargaredama | 07-31-2002 05:54 PM |
Volvo
Any RWD drive Volvo would be a good choice. They are rock solid thanks to being way over engineered. Are cheap and easy to work on. Just find one with a manaul trans and you're set. They also come in turbo form which can be fun.

Parts can be found in junkyards and they come up for sale quite often. I haven't had any major problems with my 4kq since I got it over a year ago. So, maybe I'm a little biased.

there's 2 arguments about the justy... 1 for, 1 against...
basically in the U.S., the car will end up being a money pit (basically since there isn't a class the car would be competitive in) so it's car with no future... however, it seems like a good car to work on driving skills... at least a lot better than a 300+hp fire breathing 4wd monster... but there are a lot of other cars that are just as good to work on your skills, and can be competitive as well
if you do a search here or on specialstage you should be able to find those justy threads...

Car choice
There's an AWD legacy on ebay for under $750 if memory serves, but it might be in CA. That's good though - no rust. It is in pretty good condition. That has potential.

I am going to start looking for a Winter/rally beater soon too. i can get, gasp, an S10 Blazer dirt cheap from a guy at work. $500. I would rather talk my buddy in to taking me to the auction and picking something else up. The ideas will help. He got a 1995 Impreza wagon w/5 spd light roll last year for $1200. I would love to find another one like that.

:(Thats a shame. Because as far as all the other suggestions go, I guarantee you won't find a more competetive car in the cheap price range. A2 VWs are still winning G2 in ProRally today, and there are more cheap parts and good cheap rally and replacement parts out there for the A2 VW than all the other cars mentioned combined. On top of that you can't go to a rally today in America without tripping over somebody who knows alot about VWs and or has connections for parts or has parts themself.
Why wouldn't you go with a VW?

Justy. Easy to maintain, available with 4wd and cheap. :)
| Thug | 08-01-2002 11:24 AM |
A Justy wouldnt be nearly as much fun to drive as an SE-R or a VW though. Not to mention the parts are cheaper and much more pentiful for both. And both can be competitive in their class, where a Justy has virtually no chance.
| Narcisse91 | 08-01-2002 12:16 PM |
I like the Integra idea, but maybe because I drove a bunch of TSDs with mine before I sold it. The big problem is that if find yourself with a steep hill to climb while you're not moving to fast, you have no torque to make it up it quickly, although you'll be moving faster than I was in the TSDs, I hope, and it may not become a problem. Another issue there is even on the stock suspension, the ride gets very rough. I can remember a TSD (our winter series, at night, unpaved mountain roads, sometimes snow :) ) where I kept bottoming out and ended up ripping a hole in my exhaust because the ruts dug in the road were a lot deeper than I had in ground clearance.
It held up to the beating really well, though, and double wishbone all around is sweet.

Well, actually all VW Golf/Jetta cars would make excellent rally cars. Although in the interest of weight I would steer toward the Golf instead of the Jetta. Rabbits are pretty good also, although there doesn't seem to be nearly as many parts or cars out there to build a rally car out of.
Probably the most popular would be the A2 chassis cars ('86-'92).
Yes VW did make some AWD cars, however not really any Golfs or Jettas in the USA. There are some running around however. As a matter of fact there is a fellow i-club member who has a Golf converted to the Synchro drivetrain out of a Passat.
Lately VW has started to build alot of their newer cars with the AWD option known as 4-Motion. Perhaps in the near future we'll see an open class car made from an A4 chassis VW.

RX-7 = complicated if yer not a rotary mechanic. 323GTX = as rare and breakable as earlier posters have said. Other Mazda's? well protege's have been/are being rallied and Mazda's got a great Competiton Dept for the average racer.
Neons, VW's, SE-R's, Omni/Horizons, can't go wrong, lots of development's been done (in US).
Audi 4k's are cool, but a lot of hardware to maintain.
Light, compact, 2wd is the way to go for learning.

I hate to be a dickweed ix-nayer, but...
Have you ever been to a performance rally?
I would never expect to use a rally car, regardless of price, as a daily driver. You need another mode of transportation while you fix the car from the last rally. This form of motorsports is ROUGH on any car. I see you have a bike, but it won't work great as a parts hauler or winter transportation in New England.
My advice:
1) Keep your RS - you know it, you've cared for it, and we all know its cool.
2) forget perfromance rally till you can afford a real daily car AND a real race car.
3) rally-x - its easier and cheaper than rally.
4) mellow out - moving out of your parents' house while owning both an RS and a kickin bike is a lot as it is. Sounds like you have a pretty good situation already...

I HAVE to sell the RS. I need to move out of my house, and selling the car is the only way I can afford that right now.
Second, I'll need a beater for a while, until I get a promotion or a nice raise...seeing as how I've already been there a year, in another year from now, I should be much better of, financially.
Third, once I am better situated, and can buy another nice car for my personal vehicle (I'm moving to Boston, and won't need a daily driver), I will turn the beater I was just driving into a rally car.

Well I haven't seen these cars mentioned..
Isuzu Impulse AWD turbo
Toyota Celica AllTrac ST165 or ST185
Kind of rare.. but if you keep looking you can find them cheap..
also... that Ford turbo motor you guys are talking about.. I have on in my 1960 Lancia Appia. There is probally about 5-6 of those motors in every wrecking yard.. so parts are cheap..
They were in Mecury Capris RS, Ford Mustangs GT, Ford Thunderbird TurboCoupes, and Merkur XR4ti.
Isuzu Impulse AWD turbo
Toyota Celica AllTrac ST165 or ST185
Kind of rare.. but if you keep looking you can find them cheap..

Reliable, durable, and cheap to fix.
2.2L engines, available with or w/o turbo.
V6 as well but hard to find with a 5-speed.

I live less than a mile from the Boston line and I have off street parking for no additional charge.

I'm moving to Somerville (most likely), and there's been street parking for every apartment I've looked at...and some have driveways, even.
I'm more worried about where to keep my motorcycle than I am the car :)

I think I found mine! My buddy that had the Outback wagon has a 1996 Legacy wagon that was tagged on the pass. side doors. He is even throwing in the parts to fix it.
He also told me about a 2001 Lexus IS300 going through the auction last week here for $3500! It needed a rear clip.
