    Thanks for the suggestions guys. Although I may not be as experienced in driving around corners, I've done the whole fix up cars and drive them fast in a straight line thing. So this is not all new to me, just the experience of around driving corners and not spending thousands on performance parts. Like I said though I plan to do both on and off road racing. So that would mean more money spent on tires and replacement parts and less on modding. But I may now consider doing the FWD thing for now. I've always been partial to Hondas, Subarus, Nissans, Fords and Toyotas so I may head in one of those directions. As that has been where most of my experience has been.

    The Civic, B13 Sentra, P10 G20, Escort GT and Golf has always been on my list as well, but since I now want to do mixed driving I was only suggesting getting a RWD car to open up my experience with other events.

    Rule 1-3 in rx, it's the driver, the driver, and the driver. Limited grip and a constantly changing course means it's the driver. Which is why the Hardy's are so fast in the GT. They are good. Hell, by my 3rd rx in the Neon, I was beating the times of some of the AWD Subbies. And I'm not fast.

    Buy the most solid car you can. Have fun.

    BTW, be careful about the rally anarchy guys. I've followed that story for 10 years now. The percentage that complete their rally cars is dismal.

    100% correct. At our last rally-x, I was running my 97 Outback I was being beat by a good 15 sec (on a course of about 2:10) by a bunch of guys in a 91 Protege. I am new and drive my car there. They have been doing it a while and trailer the car (they can beat on it!).
