Has anyone ever staged rally a 3g CSM before?

I have one that is stripped down and I was thinking it might be a good little car for that. However I wanted to get some other opinions.

I was trying to compare this car to other similar hatches that I have seen out there.
VW Golf
Honda Civic

It would be nice to find a 4g hatch for a stage rally but they are all in other countries

It looks like a lot of people rally the 4g hatches

I can't find any 3g hatches

It is a light little hatch back that would probably get a 4g63 N/A motor to start with plus 5 lug hub conversion for the brakes and durability

Anything else that I should consider before saying yes or no?

Anyone drives theirs off road often?

Wow, that rally car is HOT!!

I have found my inspiration now!
It looks like this car had the unfortunate accident of being rolled over

But I just wanted to see if anyone else rallied the car. At the end they said the car weighed 2000lb which isn't bad.
This was done in 2003 which was a while ago but still would work as people are still rallying cars from the 1990 anyway.


Natedog, I have participated in TSD before and know a couple of tricks that would put you in good points standing if you are looking for advice
