How bad is rally for the body of a car? In general, does rallying

If you are worrying about the paint/clear coat while rallying your car, you are doing it wrong. All of it. Very wrong.

With proper suspension, wheels and tires, and underbody protection, any car is rallyable. My only concern with the EP3 is that I used to have one, and the rear end broke loose too easily. It was pretty good at staying firm, but when it broke loose, you were fucked. I'd argue that is not something you want in rally unless you could set up the suspension to be more controllable while sideways.

Nibba, you ever watch rally? Stone chips in paint and on windshield, loose bumpers and the like are everyday life of a rally car. Hell, some dont even have paint to Save weight.

OP, why don't you tell us what you think happens to the paint/body of a car that's driving upwards of 60mph down dirt/gravel roads?

I'm legitimately fucking interested.

If you need to ask, you shouldn't bother with rally
As for ep3, never seen it personally in rally, even in amateur, only 5th and 6th gen are popular

1. your paint will get fucked up
2. use something cheaper and lighter than an EP3, old golfs work great

>civic with McDonald's struts

Get an earlier civic or integra with multi link suspension

A car with an lsd would be even better.
