Conefagging

Whilst I agree they can be brutally quick, imo things like autocross/superkhana driving is one of the few times I'll agree that rwd is more fun.

True but cheap, light RWDs are getting harder to come by (besides the Miata, obv)

...

I know, man. I miss my old Super Beetle something fierce and want to get another one but a decent turn-key driver is at least $5k these days.
I could buy a roller and rebuild it with newer Mexican parts but in the long run that's not much cheaper.

I guess technically I have rallycrossed
Volvo 240 auto
Ford zx2 escort manual
Mitsubishi mighty max auto
Volvo 240 wagon manual

My tire setup with the pickup was shit, the wagon was the most fun to race so far...

It's kinda expensive for a poorfag like me but fuck it it's racing.

Competition is competition my man and it's still fun as shit.

>ZX2
I feel like the ZX2 is kind of a forgotten car mostly because of the first gen Focus ZX3.
It's a decently quick shitbox for it's age and it's an Escort so you can whip it like a bad donkey and it'll keep going.
And they are DAMN cheap on Craigslist.

ford puma.
Literally the citizen cane of tight, twisty circuits

>no conefagging in country
>closest thing is go kart tracks time attack

>place somewhere in lower middle of my class and entire day.
>upper middle of the class above
MRS is underrated god machine

I bought it for 250, raced it 6 times and sold it for 75.

Yes, damn they are cheap.
The golfs are a better platform though for fwd.

Punto GT

I've thought about getting a number beetle as a dedicated 'cross runner partly because they sell cheap and you can bolt on a lot of Golf/TT parts and partly just to be funny.
I'd definitely hack up the exhaust and call it the Fart Kart.

>number beetle
Hurp
*Nu Beetle

>tfw no conefagging in central europe

You have hillclimbs and rallying, shut up.

>Hillclimbs
I really want to buy a chunk of land in the river bluffs near me, cut out a dirt course and host hill climbs.
I'm sure it would be an nightmare getting insurance and keeping people off the track when there's not an event going on, though.

literally any small hatchback

much harder and expensive to get into

4th gen F-body. Cheap. Huge aftermarket

>tfw no conefagging in baltic
>tfw track time attack is 25-50 eur a day and its once a month
>tfw rally and ice track are even cheaper
>tfw only safety requirements are a car and a helmet

rally is cheap, buy a beater, all you need is a fire extinguisher and a helmet.

And maybe a roll cage

Probably obvious, but E30.
