I am wanting to start a little project like this to, but i dont know were to start really. The only real problem i have is there are no places to rally in GA that i know of ...

I wouldn't make a 1g DSM my first choice for a rally vehicle, I would say you should sell it and get a Subaru 2.5rs

 

[TrAb]

Yeah thats my first choice really but they are acually a little harder to come by, and a little more expensive... Just out of curousity why wouldent u choose the 1st gen dsm?

First go to SpeciaStage.com and Rally-america.com forums where you'll find answers to most of your questions, if not just ask. Second as a rookie they wont let you to run AWD or turbocharged car. You'll have to start with a N/A FWD unless you got some prior racing experience. They should be ok if you temporarily convert it to n/a fwd.

I looked into it and it seems like a good bit of work to get past regulations, plus there is nowhere to rally near me. So i figure that i will just get me a dsm and make it into a DD that i wouldent mine taking on dirt roads and having fun every now and then...
I was also going to ask you if there was another forum that had a section for selling cars, im in the market for either talon tsi or gsx awd and cant really find any on ebay, or autotrader and dont know where else to look.

i thought you already had the 1g?

 

[TrAb]

The thread starter does, im not him just had same idea as him at first...

If you dont have any rallys near you why dont you try auto X. I tried it for the first time last year and loved it! as for setting up your rally car, good suspension is KEY. other than that skid plates, cage, fuel cell, all the normal race stuff.

 

[TrAb]

Yeah there are places to autox all day long, but i know i would enjoy rally'ing more. But im sure ill give it a shot sooner or later. Road atlanta isnt to far from me, i wanna try that bi*** out.
