Hey Wyatt! Very valuable advice as I wanna start rally coming from track racing with Porsche. Didn’t know I could have fun for so little money. Great stuff. Thanks a lot. Richard

The 02-06 Lancer OZ Rally was used in WRC with great success, many people still think they were Evos. Sure those WRC were modified platforms, but it’s a great little starter car that can be upgraded and modified as you gain experience. Could more than rival those little subies.

I would add a first gen pontiac vibe/matrix to this. Very light, simple, and cheap cars. They’re very controllable on dirt and have good options for oem upgrades for the engine, transmission, and drivetrain

Corollas are another good option. A lot of universe parts like the subie plus universal parts with other cars like the Celica or mr2. You get your choice of fwd, rwd and awd if you can find an all-trac.

They're a pita though because of the integration. Can't just rip stuff out without pissing off the factory electronics. If you go this route also know the haldex AWD is really crappy for this use case but better than nothing. Make sure the car was well serviced. Find a T5 car ideally with AWD and the M66 manual. Get the newer haldex controller that engages the rear more aggressively, or have it reprogrammed. I think the V8 cars came with them. The 1.8 isn't worth messing with. The 5cyls are awesome engines. PCV system isn't really great, fix that. And the fuel pump controller is very vulnerable, make sure it's seal well and protected. Then replace all the suspension bushings and you have yourself a pretty fun car. I bet you could put XC90 suspension on a sedan too, they're very similar like many unibody cars out there. I don't know how far the mounts/subframes vary but an AWD S40 T5 manual with XC90 suspension might be a hell of a car

Love this channel, keep making videos!

I was going to recommend a Volvo 240 or 740 when you started talking about rear wheel drive cars, and then you go and do it for me! Like you said, they are extremely capable cars, and built like absolute tanks. I wager that close to 98% of all drivers here in Sweden start out in a Volvo, if not more. Of course it is much more common over here, but it is still a great car for any beginner wishing to try rear wheel drive.

Volvos have made for some downright heroic rally cars. I prefer the wagons myself, so I don't think I'd ever race my 740 turbo because it's so big (I just traded one of my Hondas for an Impreza RS for a winter/rally beater), but I know firsthand how capable they are.

Lets do it!

This is a very interesting video to watch and there's a lot of useful information, but I think the MOST important thing you can do if you want to get it to rally is to continue your research beyond this video. The better you have an understanding for the car itself the better you will be able to prepare yourself and planning what vehicle is right for you to rally. Another great option if you've never experienced rally before is to get out attend a couple of your local events, talk to the teams that are competing. They'll tell you their stories and how they got where they are today, very very valuable information and I've done it myself! One last thing on the teams because I know this is turning into a paragraph comment is be a navigator for one of your local teams. Get some seat time feel what it's like to whip through the woods on some less than ideal roads, then you really get a sense of whether not rally is really the sport for you.

Bro! I can't believe you said Volvo 240.. I soooo miss my Flat Hood 240! Always looking for another one. Put in Urethane bushing and a mustang 5spd and they run great!

Thank you for the good advice Wyatt.

well i did start learning rally racing techniques in an ol suby wagon same model and color as this one, its great! Start in the snow, then take it to the gravel, its reliable if you take good care of it and the only problem is rust! Cheap to maintain too!

My rally school use MkIV, cause it's very cheap in china lol... Just started in rally driving,AWD is too much expensive than FWD. I think maybe i need a fiesta for training... BTW thx for all your video,very helpful !

Hey guys, first off thanks for all the videos it really is amazing what you guys are doing there. Quick question, when looking for a Fiesta, are there any specific years/trims you recommend to purchase or even stay away from?

I used to run an '81 Scirocco in rallycross, on a wet course I could pretty consistently beat WRXs. It had enough power to get around the course, but not enough to constantly run off. I would run a Fiesta in a heartbeat.

I love rally cars! I just got a juke RS, and I love this little car. My last 2 cars was a mini, and a mr2.

I've got an old MK4 GTI that is lowered, which was great, but my driveway now, since I moved to the country, is practically a rally stage, 2 miles of dirt road with a creek that runs through it. I'm looking to build the GTI into a grassroots rally car, there's a rallycross school about 1.5 hours away. I love watching your videos, and hope to one day take some classes at your driving school. Maybe I'll bring the GTI and get your opinion on it, lol.

They are not dents they are stories!

This man is speaking my language lol my first car was an iroc camaro, and now I’m building a silver 2002 Impreza for rally 😂

I started with a vw Beetle. I rebuilt the suspension and raised it and left the rest stock

I've really been thinking about doing this. Atleast for a one time run. Get an old 95 Impreza, lighten it, swap the suspension, probably tune it on some race gas and have at it. Hell maybe even a Miata. Lol

One reason I race a 95 Impreza is because in St Louis, you don't need emissions on non-OBD-2 cars, meaning 95 and older. If you plan on really modifying your power train at all, this makes things SO much easier, and this is why I tend to turn away from post-96 cars.

After considering rally school and building a car I decided to by myself a brand new fiesta st. It is hard to explain the fun and power it gives. But it’s so nice and clean and cost me so much money that I am now that slow guy In a fast car 😅

This guy has great energy. You can tell he's really into it.

As someone who started on a hawkeye impreza with forrester struts, the best car to start on is an impreza with forrester struts. 175ish whp. Full time awd that's pretty predictable, pretty good on gas, pretty reliable, easy to work on, good looks, sounds great with a muffler delete (or an exhaust cutout which I have). There's alot of parts for the cars because of all the shared stuff between subarus, and the aftermarket scene is pretty good too. If you want some soft suspension forrester struts are perfect, if you want a stiffer ride keep the stock struts with the 150 dollar 3 inch spacer lift kit. Either way no matter what you want hawkeye impreza will deliver.

Definitely looking into building one. Any recommendations on the year and model of fiesta or even focus to start looking into?

Thanks man!

I'm fortunate to have gotten a mk2 VW Golf for a low price, which still has race decals on it. Now it delivers newspapers to a slippery dirt road neighborhood. Interested in getting into rallying now.

Loved the video! Has been a few years since this was posted, I’d love to know how you feel about the BRZ/FRS as a platform for new drivers compared to the Fiesta? I am in the market to get started

What a great video

Can you do a follow up video on picking a vehicle to buy for Scca rallycross? Maybe even a 3 part series for each class; front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, and all wheel drive.

I have a 01 Subaru AWD going to make a rally car with super excited.

I have a 94 EG Hatchback. Stock and in good condition. I was planning on Rally driving it but think maybe selling it for a Fiesta might be the better route due to them going up in value and parts issues.

Awesome video what year fiesta should I be looking for ? I am extremely interested

So glad u said Volvo. That’s exactly what I wanna start with (:

May seem odd but I guess Ryan does it with a newer one but I been building a 99 rav4.1 into a rally car so far it's doing well and corners better than I ever pictured but again rare to see

I've been thinking of getting a MK I Ford Focus 3 Door for my first rally car. Is that a good choice?

A Great Rally Car is an old Honda Civic. If you add a K24 it'll add more traction by increasing the weight in the Front. Really cheap and easy to work on.

The volvo rear ends are pretty expensive to mod anywhere that is not sweden. In north america, the solution is a 6 cyl. toyota 4-runner live axle with supra mkIII LSD, weir performance maxgrip kit & at least a 4.56 final drive. All that can be had for cheap, a buddy just finished that kind of mod on a 240 for just a little over 1000$ cad, really good & solid!

Beaver Lake Motorsports Not a LSD, but a simple locker. Spartan lockers are $230, and have worked better than a welded diff in our rally car so far (20+ rallies). 4.88 ring and pinion is $130, or ~$200 for a 5.2 (which is what you really want). Even a 5.2 for a 1031 diff is $260 from Sweden, so very reasonable. That being said, I am currently doing the Toyota diff swap since the future engine will have about 300 easy hp, and the d30 will not handle that. I will say that the Supra diff is far from perfect, and it needs to be shimmed every year to keep the preload up.
