track day car

[Jonesy]

if you guys had 2-3k for a cra to use purely for track days, what would u get?

 

[200cup andy]

eg or ek civic for 2-3k you can get a pretty good one already modded for track

they handle very well too

MX5.

Fin.

Maybe a 172 Cup if you're scared of RWD.

 

[Richy_Boy]

yeah, MX5 or Nissan 200sx.. something rear wheel drive, light and parts readily available 2nd hand (to keep costs down).

I used to have a 20sx and it sent nicely on track, albeit a daily used road car..

106 gti or saxo vts and use the remaining 1k for track prep very nipy litle cars parts are cheep and very easy to fix

 

[200cup andy]

dont get a 200sx you will forever be fixing it

 

[ken182]

defo a 106 gti/106 rallye or saxo vts/vtr. cheap as chips loads of parts easily available and quick enough for most uk tracks

 

[clio200cup]

Loads to choose from and I'd have any of them.

do what im doing, i were going to get a 197 for track days but i couldnt justify the cost of the car for abusing.

so instead im getting a 172, should be a good track car imo and you dont have to spens much on them to make them a good track car.

 

[200cup andy]

holy crap that 172 is cheap!!

 

[Paul]

I would agree with Mike, either a 172 or an MX5, both would be really good fun, which is the main aim!

 

[Paul]

holy crap that 172 is cheap!!

Lol yeah, same I would have to get a third car to tow the bleeding thing though haha!

 

[Graeme GTR]

172 or Civic EK type-R dont think you'd get a good one at the budget but the Integra DC2 would be good fun.

 

[Gouldy]

172s are dirt cheap now, below the 3k bracket.

these will be sort after like mad for track cars in the next couple of years or so due to the drop in value

 

[Jonesy]

loving the pug 205, but the 172 looks the best deal

 

[200cup andy]

type r's are way out of his range for a track car you would need to know its a good one thats why i said about the lower spec sir's or vti's

 

[Emz]

It's got to be a 172. Cool fun cars and in your price range

 

[RalphyBMW]

I concur, 172 would be my choice.
