How good of a rally car is the Celica Options

[1994Celica]

I wanted to know if the Celica can rally.

Ok so I want to give it a try, first event nearby that I can go to is on March 14th. What do you think I should do to prep the car? And will my all-seasons with not so much tread work well enough to give me a feel? If I like it I would probably put some decent all seasons on, or snow tires and get another set of wheels for the street.

I'll probably buy/make some cheap mudflaps to protect my paint, pull the ABS fuse, and just give the car a tune-up.

I wouldn't do it....

I was thinking about doing it, too. Looks like loads of fun. But rocks flying in the air and a good paintjob and a body with no dents don't mix...

I figured if I wanted to do that type of stuff, I'd buy another Celi or something for cheap and use that. Not my perfectly painted, dent-free 6GC. Haha.

But if you do decide to go, post pics!

I'll definitely post pics. I'm not too worried about the paint, my car is pretty dent free but the paint is far from perfect; wouldn't be able to keep it nice if I wanted to driving over 100 miles every day. Plus before the event I'll remove my sideskirts and put on some cheap mudflaps just to help protect the paint.

If it does become a bigger hobby, I'll pick up an old Subaru or something that I don't mind beating up.
