Hey all,
What platform do you think would be the best for a semi-dedicated track car....budget=7 grand, car + mods ? By semi-dedicated I mean daily driven, but plush ride, a/c, interior, etc don't need to be there. I run mainly auto-x, but track day's would be nice too 240, hachi, miata, early gen mr2, crx, FC, I'm open to any suggestions.........What would you do with 7G ?

 

i'd probably go with a miata. parts are relatively cheap, and they're supposed to have great balance.

 

I'm gonna go with 240. VERY CHEAP. SR20 swap and there is 200 hp with no mods. Suspension is very available as are brakes and anything else you may need. Car:500 and up, engine: 2000-3000, Suspension: 1000, Brakes 2000. There would be a fast car for very cheap and easy to build on when more money comes in.

 

I like the miata, people call it a beocth car but man can those things handle.:banana:

 

miata's can handle, look at mine at gt3

 

You will cringe at the lack of power, however, when the other guys are braking, the Miata laughs as it scoots by! It is also a nice departure from the hard-top world. I may reconsider it as a "play" car also...

 

dude good luck finding a 240 or a hachi at bluebook value.

 

i'd say 240 or haci, but kawshon is right.

since we live on an island finding one that isn't jacked up in price is ridiculously hard

 

That's what I was thinking.....

 

It would be my only car.....

 

 

In about a year or less, this car's gotta go....I have to start working less and going to school more

 

your not pulling a Wes are you?

 

How fast can a tow truck drag my car? Whatever that time is is what my cars 1/4 mile time is.

 

S13, hands down
