This spring i am buying a truck because it seems to be more pratical...pretty sure its going to be a nissan frontier but anyways....
I am going to have some extra $$ and i want to buy a car that i can rally with. So my question is, whats a car i can get for 1) cheap and 2) can be modded for cheap? I plan on just coming to the events with the car towed. A 1G DSM maybe? Older volkswagon? Let me know guys

Yugo? :devil:
Actually... I've always thought that a 1988 chevy turbo sprint would be perfect for that stuff... uber light, 3 cyl, 5 speed, and suprising power for a 43 mpg (highway) vehicle. And there are places where they just gather like an elephant graveyard.. You could probably pickup 3 or 4 donor cars on the cheap... :)

Oh, also: This is a Suzuki Swift rebadged - firefly I think? so there should be parts out there... somewhere.
oh, also: stripped they should be about 1450 -1500 lbs... and factory lists the stock turbo engine with 70hp @5100rpm / 107 ft.lbs @3500 rpm ... people talk about 120-140 hp being quite possible.

i'd say if the subaru impreza rs wasn't pricey go with that
