I bought an '05 Civic Coupe for daily/winter beater use and I'm thinking that I will autocross the Mustang and run the Civic in the local Rally Cross series. Anybody tried this setup? I would put some skid plates on and get some gravel tires, I've got plenty of extra rims lying around. Something I could drive to the track and then (hopefully) drive it home. Not the best chassis I know but it's light and the hand brake works. My other idea is to sell it and look for a decent GC series Impreza. But since I've got the Civic sorted I thought I would hang onto it and give it a go.
Thanks Glenn
We had one run a few events last year. Don't recall how it did, but we have very few FWD in our local classes so not much to compare it to anyhow. I know it drove home though. And I know it was waaaaayyyy too quiet, lol....
Weigh reduction would do wonders, but it depends on how fare you would want to go. Otherwise, I think it would be a great setup.
While looking for gravel tires I found an '03 Mits Lancer, FWD, for sale. It already has skid plates, rally lights and possibly gravel tires. I contacted the seller, just waiting to see the mileage. It looks to be in good shape, I'll keep you posted.
