Default Is it all it's cracked up to be....??

Hi all,

Me and my mate are thinking of putting a track car together???

But not just a cheap rust box, thinking of putting a reasonable amount of money in each so that it wont blow up all the time or fall to bits!!!

Where both thinking of something like a RS1800 or Xr3i?? Do you think that N/A is the most reliable for track cars???

Also is it really worth the money?? I know the buzz of flying around the track is amazing, but say you do a handful a track days a year. Would it be worth keeping my 'sunday' car which i would probably drive more????

Any suggestions would help

Thanks
Darren

Yeah I suppose your right Mark,

I think i would enjoy it but like you said when do you stop spending???

If i sold my cossie probably keep £5k or so in the bank and spend around £1-2K on the track car (aswell as Dans £1-2k!).

But it wont happen for a few months if it does happen, just thought i'd see what everyone elses view was

Cheers for the advice.
