Hey /o/,
I've got a toyota corolla 2002 that i wanted to enter into a beginner friendly rally, but it's a long one (+500k) on primarily gravel roads. Which components should I upgrade to make sure I don't destroy my car mid-race? It's the most awesome car and I don't want to completely fuck it.. Budget about 1k. Entering novice class. Any input before I take it over to the shop? Was thinking of getting some better ball joints in there primarily.
If you don't want to destroy your car, don't rally it
Get a cheap running 4wd subaru
Or the cheapest manuel piece of shit on craigslist.
Dont rally your dd, ive done it and i cracked my windsheld, chipped the fuck out of the paint, and the car looks like fucking shit after a rally.

To be fair it is a novice friendly rally. I mostly want to scope it out for next year for an intro to competing.
Also has anyone had any experience with trail of the gnu?

Yea, my dad actually has exactly that but it keeps failing, he seems to think it's the fuel delivery system. I really would prefer to use the corolla because I know it well.

What rally did you compete in and what did you drive? Did you put in a roll cage?

Get another Corolla to rally.

I prefer to call it GNU/Linux or GNU plus Linux, but either way install Gentoo.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
