Just about anything can make an effective rally car if you put the development time and money into it.


True.

STEER CLEAR OF THE SPRINTER

??? Parts aren't that hard to find and the do perform very well, Think of the beloved Datto 1600's? Try to get a shell, guard etc for one of these....These are very capable of winning Outright against Rex's and EVO's in the right hands and there are still a few in the NSW Clubman series... Along with a heap of other of the same age. ie escorts, stanza... And the Gemini Cup cars.

BUT - would a fwd seriously be as much fun as one of the RWD options?

Setup properly, YES and alot quicker Too..Tell this is no fun? FWD->

We were winning Til we had a small off, ripping exhaust off and bending a control arm...

Think there was a special class for them.

Your thinking of the AE102 7AFE Corolla Cup challenge (class N3), The Very first of the one make class's to find new talent. Ashlea James and Simon Evans when competing in these were regulars in the Top Ten. The AE92's were used in Bathurst by toyota for the same reason's one make class, find new Talent, This is where Neal Bates came from and forged his long relationship with them. N3 Class is a production class for 1601-2000cc setout by the FIA and is mostly used for international Rallies. It was chosen to keep the competion close and controlled, unlike the P3 which is modified variants.

Just be wary of weight, the celicas were fairly heavy. I've got a little twinky as a rally car, i chose it over the AE92 because they were a bit lighter and also cheap as chips to buy. It's got a bog stock big port 4AGE with a noisy exhaust and a cold air intake and loves to be thrashed. Pretty cheap motorsport really.

Agree, The Twin Cam AE82's rally ready can weigh in just under 1000Kg, The celica's (especially my old RA40) Struggled to get under 1100Kg, The AE102 we currently run weighed in at 1080kg at preimier state rally. The TA/RA22 Can come in 1050kg, and aren't as bad as The later RWD Celica models when trying to lose weight.
Most AE92 weigh in around the same as my AE102.

Throw in a 2T-G or a 3T-GTE and have fun

2T-G-> yes, 3T-GTE-> No..
