Start saving your pennies,
do you know how much it costs to run in a ARC event!!!
Ok for starters to run a car in group N it still must be homologated for group N or expired less then 4 years ago, which basically means newer type car post 1994, and you are very restricted to what you can and cant do. go to the FIA site and find out what cars are still homologated and you will see your cars are limited. Secondly that leaves you with PRC. Group A rules only come into play when you want/can afford to run ROC or rally Australia..
Now you said you wanted to rally an AE86..
Good luck building one from scratch you will need at least 20G to build an AE86 and thats just bare minimum ie, no really quick engines close ratio gearboxes and difs, as they are as RARE as anything these days and cost a packet.. You might want to think of say a AE92 corolla, parts are more plentiful and should be a little cheaper to build.. Also this will put you in class P2 (which is PRC 2).
And thirdly CAMS will not let you run a 20 Valve in an AE86 so forget that straight out, so if you want to run at 11000 RMPM good luck as you power band will start at something like 8000, which is too little for rally, you need Torque thats right torque to win rallys not RPM and out right power to win rallys, so you have to build an engine that has torque from about 3000 I dont care how good of a driver you are..
Sorry for laying down some facts but anything else you need to know???
