Budget builds?

[Stevo]

Rite boys and girls, what in everyones opinions is the cheapest € you could buy a straight gud cond rwd road car(does'nt have to be sr rb jz ect) and track prep it (6-7 point cage, bucket seats harnesses, fire extinguisher kill switch ect) Basicly everything needed to pass all the regs to enter comps!!
Just intrested in what people think it would cost in there eyes..

stevo to be honest and im no expert in this area but the way prices are of cars nowadays u could be beter off buying one preped and all than going and buying a straight car and adding your bits, bits seem to be still expensive to get them up to regulation standards

Im going away from turbo track cars for this year after the s14 need sumthing i can actually get sum seat/track time in instead of a money pit that breakes everytime it starts and including the car i think i can do a sub 2k from stock road car to comp reg car wont be anything special (standard engine)just good enough to get track time at any event.

for that sort of money is possibly gonna leave u very under powered to what your used to (s14) ul have to adopt a completetly different style of driving to enable you to drift tracks like mondello so its gonna be like starting to learn to skid al over again dont think id like to do that myself but with the way things are we could be all forced into the same boat

I know what you mean man, but i done feck all drifting with the silvia (due to reliability and my lack of patients ment i broke it) and did'nt really learn anything from it except how easy money disapears
Ive seen you doin mondello lad and u can skid but unfortunitly work been shit, mortgage to pay bills to pay kids to raise ect mean its super budget build or nothing this year

Just picked up an sr20 180sx non turbo last week for €400. Its as rough as a bears arse but it's my first drifter so it's only going to get worse.
