I'm just tossing some options in the air for next year.
Budget ~10k (chassis, engine and suspension only. Seats + cage etc is extra)
Miata? E36? Porsche 944?
Lotus Elise with K20?! (talk about fun - but slightly over the 10k limit)
If you were to build a track car - what would you build?

import an older STI lol
72 Datsun 510 goon SR
83 Datsun Maxima RB
80 Toyota Cressida 4M
ill assume your talkin bout road course type track right?
id say a subie rs. its awd so got that going for it, do some mods maybe a motor swap. and some suspension.
hell might be able to find one with some stuff done to it already.
Yea for road racing. Ah ok, subie with motor swap - kinda like sunny's car now!
autumn
subaru ftl
...
An E30.
It's a little older, but I imagine you could put together a fun litte Datsun 510 for 10k.
Oh, and of course, suby ftw.
i wasnt going to say it but since you guys already said it... my subaru Rs is for sale lol
and my datsun 510
72 Datsun 510 goon SR
83 Datsun Maxima RB
80 Toyota Cressida 4M
One of the S2000s in the classifieds
'92 C2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel | '96 240sx
autumn?...
I'd really love to have a 944 track car but those things are a bitch to maintain. but they're oh so sexy!
How about a 240sx with an LS2 in it! Then when it starts feeling slow I could procharge it so the boost is gradual and it'll be a shit ton of fun again lol
I havent really kept tabs much but how much are E30s and E36s in decent shape these days?
check this shit out...Originally Posted by redrumracer

430 Scuderia.
a honda!
jk....k24 crx is fun..
no not like his like allirae(sp)
That's beastly.
i have a soft spot for subies, i liked them before the got popular.
Are you planning on competing? If so, look up class restrictions. That will really help you decide.
If you just want a fun car to track, get a E36 325i, swap in a M3 engine, and get suspension goodies.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
Thanks for the video it was pretty bad ass.
Scuderia... lol right! I meant 10k total, not 10k per session.
I'm a track noob just trying to get into the game. Yea I think I'll just get a cheap car, upgrade the suspension and brakes, make the engine bulletproof and go from there.
no prob. I want to know how they got that much horsepower out of a subaru.
A used Oscar Meyer truck so i could hit everybody with my big fucking wiener.
el oh el
hahahaha
we have a wiener!
the tank. I can be slow but Ill still be able to shoot things for a distance and BAM blow up.Also run over things.
Making the engine trully bulletproof will spend most of your ten grand.
Decide what you want to do first, Solo (AutoX, Autocross, whatever) has a very different set of requirements (And class restrictions) than Club (HPDE, Time Attack, Wheel to Wheel actual racing).
bulletproof motor - miata 1.6 or 1.8 both strong motors
Cheap - miata
Miata!
BMW E30 or E36, Subaru 2.5rs........look no further, lol.
I have a strong lead on an E30 that I may snag...good condition, runs great.
Miata, and not because I own one, that's why I got one lol. Motors are INSANELY reliable, cheap mods, handle great, and can be made faster as you want to get faster. If this is just for trackdays and whatnot. Although an E30 is a great choice too, or an E36 if you find one cheap enough. OR a Honda, despite people who THINK fwd cars suck at road racing
You won't spend 10k making a car reliable..no clue why that was said lol.
AWD isn't the best for road racing always. I mean you rarely see many Subarus out there...

I'd have to be rwd or fwd.
So
rwd:
Miata
240 (No really forget drifting for a sec)
BMW (Any of them)
Fwd
Civic
Sentra/G20
MX3
There are many others. The big thing here is a car that can help you improve to faster cars.
A built turbo beetle with like 350whp that looks completely stock would be awesome.
E30
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
id prefer the Escort Gt/ protege Lx over the mx3 just because mx3's are a little heavier. and you can put the same motors in them. And they dont feel as stable to me in the. And you can find either running for about 500$
280z
Im planning on slowly turning the Audi into a weekend track car. It will be slow as piss, but will handle well.
Because your definition of Bulletproof apparently isn't what the word actually means. That's why.
Well, bulletproof as in I can't shoot a gun at it? Or as in it will last a season under hard abuse? Because I know tons of race cars built for 10k total and ran same engine all year not a single issue. Explain.
LS1/6 in a 1st gen RX-7
LT1 in my 3rd gen
MX3 KLZE swap
6th gen celica with 3sgte swap or 4agze
Fiero with LS1 swap
3rd Gen Accord....for 10k you could build a KILLER accord. 1k will buy you an accord in good shape, another 2-3k for engine swap or turbo and rebuild, and the rest into suspension (basically whatever setup you want as almost all civic coilovers fit pretty well).
