>tfw like rally >tfw drive a FWD

>>15410025
FF rally cars are more prevalent than 4wd rally cars.

>>15410025
Watchu mean tho? There are a ton of FF rally cars.

>>15410043
>>15410054
but everyone started rallying in RR cars

I'll never rally
I'll never be fast
I'm probably too old anyway since I don't have daddy money

>>15410065
Kill yourself. Are you in a prelude? Lol

>>15410025
fwd rally is totally viable
go for a paddock bash some time, the handbrake becomes a new steering

>>15410208
>viable
lol no
dont get a dumb college kid's hopes up in his civic

>>15410065
>but everyone started rallying in RR cars

ops gonna be the next sebastian loeb takumi in his fucking honda civic

>>15410244
no, please do so they get split by a tree.

FF is great for rally but you actually need driving skill which /o/ doesn't have.

>>15410327
Prove it

After AWD/4WD, FF is the most popular configuration for rallying.

>>15410387
>>15410384
So it cant street race? What's the point
I hope OP crashes his civic and dies

>>15410398
>So it cant street race?
Nice goalposts move. Also yes they can.
Since i know you're new here i'll give you a tip, Most /o/ memes are wrong.

>>15410244
>>15410286
I drive a Celica...
>>15410327
How do I get better driving skill

>>15410400
fat fucking chance
FWd is trash kid accept it

>>15410403
>How do I get better driving skill
practice.
I dunno where you live but there are rally schools etc.

Grab like $1000 for a beater civic and use it for practice.

>>15410407
t.crown vic driver

Become one with the understeer, OP.

>>15410416
I'd rather take my celica , it pretty much is a beater anyway
5th gen 5AFE
I doubt I can rally in my area , I'll probably take up karting or autox.

What does a car need on it in order to be approved for rally and able to roll with the punches ?

>>15410427
>What does a car need on it in order to be approved for rally and able to roll with the punches ?
Officially just a rollcage and some safety doodads.
FWD cars will always have the advantage of short wheelbases and superior traction on the driving wheels.
While double wishbone setups are much more fragile than Mcpherson, they can actually grip well and allow you to keep good grip on weird surfaces.

I'd say wait until a mild blizzard and start doing shit in a parking lot.

>>15410449
>mild blizzard
We don't get those

>>15410449
>safety doodads
Like what? A skid plate?

I'll just use a stop sign man

>>15410462
fuk

if you're in NH you can do this thing
https://teamoneil.com/

2bh it's like the thing where you need experience but you can't get experience because you have no experience.

Back when the F2 class existed in the mid to late 90s (sub 2 litre, NA, FF cars) they were actually able to compete and sometimes even beat the WRC cars
>F2 Citroen Xsara won the '99 Tour de Corse
>Peugeot 306 Maxi got second in the '96 Monte Carlo rally

And nowadays, the entry level of Rally (Group R) also has lots of FF cars

All hope isn't lost yet Anon

>>15410471
I can't link you a definitive list but a skid plate would be wise.
As well as head restraints, a helmet, fireproof suits etc. but that's the competition shit.

If you're just out having fun then have fun.
Don't bust your oilpan tho

>>15410472
I think in terms of free range poor fag places to practice we have :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Compound
Rich fags have :
http://gorally.com/rallypro-price-list/

Both are really far from me (Tampa area) but I'd be willing to make the drive
Can't afford the FIRM though

>>15410491
Seeing as my Celica is my Celica I probably won't be able to put that stuff on it, I just want to have some fun going fast on dirt in some amateur stuff, probably just rally cross down here MAYBE.
Maybe if I get a second car and some skill I can go full race car.

>>15410497
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Compound
Damn anon i need to remember that shit, might go there for shiggles.

>tfw you'll never be a co-driver reading pacenotes like it was your first language

>>15410065
>but everyone started rallying in RR cars
Literally the opposite of what current rally stars do.

Scca rallycross is a thing.

You need to strap down your battery and take off your hubcaps thats about it.

Hardtop and snell helmet.

I race a 250 dollar ferd.
Its fun.

>>15410524
How's the atmosphere? Is it competition based or just out having fun?

>>15410522
muh group b rally stars

>>15410025
I don't get it. Is that a happy face? FWD is the best platform to learn rally.

What is a rally transmission like Takumi had? El oh el

>>15410530

Across the board really. Stock fwd is largely shit eating grin tier but not that fast.

Prepared awd looks to be pretty competitive, couple dedicated cars.

Everyone throws dirt everywhere, no one really gives a shit if youre slow, plenty of people out there not loking like racecar drivers at all.

10/10 really.

Double wishbone is objectively superior
Why would you get a heavy as celica over a better civic?
Idiots.
>>15410626
Heh
You'll never make it

THE FCIA OR WRC WOULD LAUGH AT YOU

>>15410065
It's not the 60s anymore. FWD is prevalent in amateur and low to mid tier pro rallying.

>>15410662

Mmkay, struggles.

My lines are obviously faster.

>tfw I bought a Toyobaru

i really wonder about the double think FWD people have to do to make them think their cars are OK and that they're good drivers

>>15412264
>has to try and brag on the cesspit of the internet to validate his shitbox

>>15412294
At least I don't drive that fucking piece of shit old Celica pile
It's heavier than my RWD car, come the fuck on.

>>15412318
>It's heavier than my RWD car, come the fuck on.
It's a good 200 pounds lighter than an FR-S.

Yeah ok, Fucking idiot

>>15412368
eh i was wrong, your car is lighter than a Celica by 80 pounds, congrats.
Much more shittier though.

>>15412395
How? It's better in every way.
I got it as my first car and I'm happy I'm not an idiot like OP buying shit like that
It's FWD and heavy and not even double wishbones with 130hp
Why?

>>15412433
>It's better in every way.

>I got it as my first car

Yeah the goggles will come off soon enough.

At least Celicas have rally prestige.
Toyobaru is a Camry, or in the baru-form, a headgasket killer.

You sound like that one faggot who thinks anything RWD is always the best and everytime a stock civc smokes you you come on here crying about FF.

>>15412447
RWD is objectively better. There is no reason for a FWD sub compact shitbox to be that heavy
>muh rally
yeah no
not in a NA FWD piece of shit

>>15412456
>RWD is objectively better.
Nope. At this point it's an IRL meme, it's last grasp on relevance is some motorsports.

>There is no reason for a FWD sub compact shitbox to be that heavy
Then why is your RWD soapbarcar that heavy?

>yeah no
>not in a NA FWD piece of shit
Is that why it's been one of the most popular rally cars ever?

iirc the celica is "heavy" (by the way 2700 pounds is not heavy) because its such a well designed solid chassis with good suspension
even the base car that you're referencing

You give me a 1990 Celica GT with a 5SFE and a 2016 Scion FR-S
I'm taking the Celica

>>15412473
This is b8.
FWD can't do cut the same mustard.
My car is way better

>>15412492
okay that's cool than you feel that that's correct but i just wanna say have fun in the snow my man.

>>15412500
How does that have anything to do with the argument

>>15412513
just sayin bro, rwd blows.

>>15412527
you make fwd sound bad

>>15412551
how can it be bad?
>easier to manufacture
>inherently better traction
>ability to develop superior MPG
>ability to produce lighter vehicles


RWD is literally scum and the people that actually pay money for it are swine.

getting loose wit it in fwd is fun

>>15412433

Im the anon with a pile of shit
Its an escort you imbecile, and im not the op.

The reason for why is long.
It starts out with buying car trailers with cars on them for a grand, with the car prepped for local dirt ovals.

Rules changed, im not putting a cage in an escort
Bought the black one as a parts car, ended up going with it.

I hate it too, thats why it gets raced. No one said it was good.

Now that i fixed up a subie its for sale for 500.

If you like rallycross, it can be done for cheap. With shit.
