grahamc Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 As suggested above...... MX5 with a SC that was my choice.... For your budget, MX5 MK2 (2k), Supercharger(3k), suspension and brake components (1k), seats, harnesses and half cage (1k) and maybe some wheels and decent tyres (1k). I bought the MX5 stock and did everything but the SC and it was great fun on track (more fun than the GTR) - very capable, great in the corners, just slow on the straights. Car is now at Skuzzle having the SC done, plus a few other bits. Should see almost 100% increase in power A group of friends are all buying different track hacks.... I went MX5, another is going Megane, another is going BMW and one other is looking at an old EVO. So we will have quite a mix of cars and all happy to swap On track, Clios, Coopers, BMWs, etc if setup well are all very good. I did look at selling the MX5 and going s2000 before I went SC, but I read about a lot of owners that did, then sold the s2000 and went back to the MX5 with SC. I have also driven a few s2000 and Im just not a fan...... cabin feels too small, oddly MX5 feels fine. If you are near Goodwood, Thruxton, Castle Combe and we have the MX5 out, happy to show round the car, etc. Hoping to get first few track days next month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Nice looking mini - seen a few stripped minis on track and they handle very well same class as the clios Edited February 4, 2016 by grahamc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This particular one was about 1.5 seconds a lap faster than me round Donington, and I was going past Civic Cup cars ......... driven properly its a weapon, it was hassling everything out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 That Clio looks like it's just finished the Paris Dakar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Bought my new track weapon at the weekend; a 150ps diesel with auto slushbox and 2,000 litres of luggage space. Good career hedge in that I can always use it as a taxi if my business fails. Seriously though I had to cover the practicality base with my wife before getting a beater for the track, the BMW 1 series is only viable for very short families. Only a Miltek and panel filter away from 8 minutes BTG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
