Getting into rallying

[AdamD]

Echo huh. No comment.

Just don't smash it, you'll be fucked. You should see how old ladies that bring them into work can fold them up at low speed.



And I took the Integra for a spin on a few of my favourite dirt roads and I'm thinking maybe it's not the best choice, or maybe I'm just not used to FWD on dirt? There's a certain road near me (I can't, uh, remember the name :roll that's about 7km, winding up hill -- with an awesome double S section, 1st all the way. In the Galant I did this road in four minutes, there abouts, more than a few times. In the Integra I took twice that time! Was shitting myself all the way too. Would be a seriously slow rally..

It will get smashed at one stage, that's inevitable. But I know what you mean. Toyota really went overboard with crumple zones in the car, so its all been seam welded and the cage goes through the firewall to the front strut towers. Chassis rails forward of the front strut towers will be reinforced through to the radiator. She's as stiff as a teenager on viagra.

Oh, a well driven, well setup front wheel drive will usually be as quick or even quicker than and AWD in tight twisty stuff, so you mustn't have been trying hard enough
