Mra - Last Round - Wakefield 30Th October

[zebra]

All the cars need a full cage. Some just hide it well. I plan on being out there towards the end of next year. No idea what I'll be driving though. What ever pops up on my105 cheap I guess.

Will be good to see some more sau'ers out there

[evil_weevil]

get an MX5 and be cool like me Zebbie

cheap cheap!!

buy cheap NA6 with or without rego - 3k

buy NA8 motor - $500

buy exhaust and intake - 1k

buy roll bar - $800

buy seat and harness - $500 max

buy wheels and semi's - $1500 max

buy coilovers - 1k max or get second hand 500?

rotors and pads - 200 - 400

do most yourself - about 8.5k

could get stuff cheaper too and be really tight for 8k and go racing.

or as you said - buy something on my105 already done - so many options!

and superTT is a fun class/series

[zebra]

Haha I Cbf building anything. Will buy a car take it to the track and race it the next day lol

[Duncan]

good work Chris....you got a lot of races in! But TBH I was wondering if zeb was serious when I couldn't find you in the last race's results...

[Duncan]

BTW, Is racing fun? I can't remember

[zebra]

It looks fun. I haven't driven on the track in over 2 years so I can't be certain though lol

[evil_weevil]

haha yeah Zeb was being stoopid!

got a lot of track time in! loved it Duncan!

Im in the middle there somewhere

On Parry's ass!! however was scary having the Monaro SS V8 behind me!

just goes to show a good mix of cars, the Pug on slicks, a 350 V8 muscle car behind and the hairdresser in the middle!

Boz and I are building a budget s13 currently. It was cheap as a race only import.

Sr20det. It'll cost about 7k caged and built basic to go racing with a brake upgrade, seats harness blah blah.

Cheap cheap way to go racing.

Andrew you should look at buying something similar, it will still take some money and talent to get an s13 to the front but to run top 10 shouldn't be hard.

Cheers was just looking at a hq. but I think the slowness would drive me nuts. But it would be nice to have a car I could race anywhere if I move to qld or if mra stops running

I have no talent lol. But I just want to get out there

[zebra]

S13 does sound like a neat little option. Or I was thinking an Aussie r31 with a wrecker rb20 a cage and coil overs??

[Risking]

The money you'll spend doing the rb20 and buying parts for an r31 would be better spent on an s13.

A serious break down would be

Cage $2200

Seat and harness $1000

Brakes $1000

Rims and tires 17 inch $1500

Safety gear $500

That's $6200 if you bought new tires and paid top dollar for safety gear like isolators, seat and brakes.

It could be done for 4k.

S13's are also elligiable for IPRA.

I'd build an r32 GTsT over an s13 but the s13 is so cheap to buy and replace if it gets shunted.

[zebra]

That's a good point. I even have a few bits and pieces lying around here (harness rims & tyres etc)
