[QUOTE="Khorne, post: 707060, member: 973"] Here's my version of 'RALLYING FOR DUMMIES' LEARN HOW TO DRIVE FIRST BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO GO RALLYING. (I'm not shitting you) First is to get your and your navigator racing licenses (both of you must hold valid driving license) 1. Join an AAM certified club 2. Get medically certified by an AAM panel doctor 3. Go to AAM Motorsports department and apply for a license 4. Collect your license when it's done. It will take you about RM500-600 for the complete procedure and remember to get 8 Passport size photographs. Second you will need a road legal car which has been prepped up for rallying purposes; Rollcage, extingushers, bucket seats, racing harness, helmets with intercomm set, sump guard (only for gravel rallying). You don't need to spend like youre a millionaire on your first rally. Do up the necessary things first and work your way from there, but if you have the money then by all means go ahead, buy the best that money can buy. Third is to register for the rally event, entry fees vary depending on event usually about RM600 for privateers. Then you'll need to buy tyres, jerry can's for petrol and water, a basic tool set for the car, jack, stands and maybe some spares if you have a service crew with you. Fourth is to drive as fast as you can in the stages without killing your or your navigator. Put your training into work here. Fifth is to clean up your car and prep it up for the next event. Repeat what's necessary after that. Thing's that you'll need to do before you go rallying LEARN HOW TO DRIVE Find a navigator Practice with him/her, here's where you need to come up with your style of navigational styles my personal favourite is Colin McRae rally 4, it's the same thing only that youre playing it on the telly. You can learn alot from CM4 and also there's this thing called the internet where you can use [url="http://www.yahoo.com"]www.yahoo.com[/url] or [url="http://www.google.com"]www.google.com[/url] or even better http://www.yahoogle.com and do a search on rallying and anything else that you want to know. Thing's that you'll need for your car before you go rallying There's the tyre issue, buy what you can afford, but don't go cheap on them cause it's the only thing between your car and the road. Up grade your brake pads to higher temp ones. Don't touch your engine, run it stock. Keep what's in the engine bay stock. Slight exhause mods can be done for that ala rally sound. Buy jerry can's for the petrol and water for the car. Buy jack's and stands and basic tools if you have a service crew if not then juct stick to the jerry can's, funnel, duck tape, cable ties and a hammer. My advice is to get in touch with the boys that are already in the scene and learn from them. Follow the rally scene if you have to. There's no easy way to anything. Throw yourself to their mercy and crew for them. Buy them teh tarik and ask them questions. Read articles on the internet like Andrew Bargery's website or Nicky Grist, Phil Mills even. From start to finish youre probably looking at a minimum of RM30K for a car, prepping it up, licenses, misc and bla bla bla... The key rule is to keep things simple 'To finish first, you must first finish' YSKhong [/QUOTE]
