What does your girlfriend think considering she just paid for the new exhaust system for you?

IMO if you want a track car the best and cheapest options are either buy a ready-built one or half-finished project one as you'll get a cheap car with lots of shiny bits for the least money. Or, buy a tatty example where the negative points of the car are things you'd throw away/replace in a track car/not care about for a track car eg. scuffed bodywork and bad paint, damaged interior etc.

If you spend an entire winter and loads of money making it completely mint and then you have contact with someone or come off the track and wreck it you'll be heartbroken and seriously out of pocket, whereas if the car was a cheap one you can buy another cheap one and swap the good bits over and start again at far less of a loss. Eg. if this car is as described then it should be mechanically ok but it is very cheap: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=158112 If you crashed it and wrecked the bodywork you'd not be too fussed.


Or you could buy Owain's ready-built track car.
