Any car I buy to replace it with my plans will have the same problem and just be to much for me to drive and play with on the street... It may be a street car but it's just not meant to play very often.... I guess that's the realization I have been avoiding for years now. No new project will fix that either it will just become the same problem again...
You have given me something else to consider for the time being. Not sure starting over is really what I'm missing so much as being able to enjoy what I have made.

Took me a while to get there but the Nissan but it into perspective for me. The stock Nissan 1200 I had many years ago was actually more fun. It had 67 hp but it weighed 1500 lbs. The great part was that I could drive it back & forth to work, especially in the rain, nearly flat out and nobody knew. Never got a ticket.
If you feel the need to build something for a track day/auto-cross toy, google Hyabusa smart car or Hyabusa mini for some ideas. I think they would be cheaper to build than the cars on your list and way more giggles per mile. Think outside the box & see where it leads.

We tested their headers locally & drift-office did as well. As of current they are one of the, if not the highest performing header out. And oddly enough its an UEL, not an EL... Sounds awesome, runs awesome... looks awesome. :P I need me one!

Hey guys my friend and I are installing eibach prokit lowering springs tonight and have a quick question. Do I need to replace all the torque nuts with new ones or can I reuse the same ones?

Still waiting for OEM audio upgrade to get here. It's driving me crazy not having a stereo. Makes me want to fix the buzz, rattles and crickets now.

Edit: I guess it just got delivered!
