Title: Daewoo Lanos ...good choice for rally car?
Post by xtraxstar on 01/17/4 at 20:53:22

I'm looking for a Car to get into rallying. You can buy a pretty new (1999-2002) Daewoo Lanos with very low milage for $3-5 grand. Is this a good starter car?

It might make a decent P1/P2 car depending on the size of the engine. But by the time it would be ready to rally, it would be a $10,000 rally car, and you could probably build/buy a better car for the same or less cost.

There are a few cars for sale that could be good starter cars. Harry Anderson's Talon is available at a good price (see the Buy and Sell forum), I think Jean-Sebastien Busque's Swift is still for sale (http://www.fourstarmotorsports.com/CatalogData/Classifieds_113.htm down near the bottom of the page), and the RSQ classifieds at http://www.rsq.qc.ca/annonces/liste.php?categorie=1-1 usually have some cars for sale.

I'm hoping to see some Echo HB in rally in 2004. Any intel on if anybody is preparing one in Canada? I hated the sedan, but the HB is cheap, and looks much better. I think it's rallied extensively in Europe as the Yaris.
