Default Offroad Civic Question...

I hope that this is the right palce to put this.

I have a 98 EX and I want to run it offroad a little (rally style). I have already put stiffer springs and shocks, upgraded the brakes, CAI, and a few other things. Other than those it is stock. What else should I do to run it offroad?

I know that I COULD get a WRX but why would I have posted on the Civic forum about my Civic if I was even thinking of getting a WRX. Dont get my wrong they are great cars. My friend got a 2004 STI and it kicks ***. However, I was asking what I could do to MY car. Thanks for posting though.

buy a helmet and find a SCCA RallyCross program in your area.

I was looking around on the SCCA website you had a link to and I cannot seem to find where the events are. Is there a list of upcoming events?

Thanks for your time.

you have to find your region first. Most regions have a full event list and contact info on their website; though, not every region is doing RallyCross.

the classing is really simple, you would be up against any other FWD car, that is not stock, that is not a "rally car" (does not have a rally logbook)

In our region I want to say we have about as many rallycross events annually as we have autocross events... difference being, rallycross goes year-round, so they are less frequent

damn i forgot that in my list of mods. I just finished a custom front strut brace. As far as the rest of the bracing, if I do the rear and then lower tie bars front and back, what else is there to brace?
