I say do it!! I have an auto search for sub $1k rx8s on my local Craig's and I get emails almost every week.

Some benefits of the rx8:
1. Huge wheel wells to swallow big tires and travel.
2. Ummmm Wankel noises?
3. I'm struggling here.
4.
Ok there may not be many benefits but they are cheap and a rally car would be awesome.
Do the automatic trans front brakes fit under 15s?

Looks like rotors from an auto car and making my own bracket for a wilwood caliper would get me there- might still have to run a lower offset than stock.
This is the best worst idea I’ve seen in awhile, and I mean that in the best possible way.
I truly hope this moves from the Interwebz to IRL.
F2T 626 hatch is the answer.
Just came here to drop this off. I know it's not stage rally but it looks fun as hell.

Dang...I came here to post that.
RX-8`s are so cheap right now that I think they would make a great rally platform. When you scrap one, just get another 1000$ car and swap all the goodies over.
And another big plus for the RX-8: great brakes! For a rally car, that's a big plus.
And for the suspension: high sidewalls and longer/softer spring will help a lot.

If I had access to a track like that I'd never drive a road course again.

OK. Take this, with its' gazillion little links attached to a gazillion little tabs and dumb shock mounts:
Sawzall a giant berkeleying hole in the car and do this instead, maybe with a panhard instead of the watts link:
The beauty is, if this is the car I am thinking about, it's an E30 M3 clone that also has a Volvo-based 16v engine.
There was an RX8 that ran back in 2006-7 or so. I think it won G2 class, then they supercharged it. Iwant to say the drivers name was Olson or something like that. No idea what ended up happening with the car.

If i ever win the lottery i am building a European rallycross course.
I don't buy lottery tickets so it's irrelevant but that doesn't matter.
