And building just for the sake of throwing money at a car is all well and good, but if you build with purpose you'll be more satisfied with the result and spend less money to boot.
Exactly this.

Seriously. Come out to devens in ayer next season (the venues in ct and ri are garbage).

We dont bite. 86 wise find the ultramarine with stickers and give its owner the secret kgb handshake (tickle his palm with your pinky) that car is a fantastic example of a touring class 86 (suspension, exhaust, tune). Or find the red frs with grey wheels its owner may want to fuck you in the mouth. But its worth the price of admission to see what a stockish frs (struts, tires and a frs trd spring loophole) can do.

Or find me. I'll likely be driving a miata and walking around in a gimp mask.

Well now we let let the forum decide by voting with their thanks.


Not a **** - Slow down and review your plans again. If the $50 to $80K that it is going to cost you is worth it then ya go for it but be very careful you don't overstep your abilities. Also keep in mind that the race team cars have budgets and operating costs that can exceed the annual income of the typical 23 year old. There are guys here that very successfully track their car with a header, a tune, different tires and brake upgrades.


Please see next post.

Be a **** - Big freakin' wing, carbon fiber trunk and permanent mounted tow hook are priorities CUZ R A C E C A R YO.
Will be watching for the "I blew my engine these cars suck", "Moving to a WRX. Car for sale $95K firm" or "Some idiot cut me off while I was doing 102 and I went in the ditch. Is this a write off?" followup thread.

Is it just me, or did he mention he put in the "rally" tow hooks to help him tow his car in unfavorable road conditions. They gave you one in the trunk that works for that purpose... bro...

Edit: If you're gonna be a d1ck @Tcoat I think you can do better. But my thanks has been cast lol

Enjoy yourself @thatfrskid, but use your time and money wisely. @bucko3the7man and others are providing sound advice: driving schools, autox, and track days are more important than mods.

Whatever you decide, good luck and drive safely.
