advice for track car?

[Mike The Bavarian]

Oh my gawd. You have no experience but you're giving advice? Bad advice at that. You sir, fail. OP please ignore Mike The Bavarian's posts in this thread, and Mike: don't talk outcha ass boy! Its bad for your health.

Not talking out of my ass. I gave my input and then I stated something that I heard.

Again, OP, please ignore Mike's posts in this thread, its all hearsay (incorrect hearsay at that).

Gotta love Mike giving bullshit track advice based on things he has "heard"... If you waste money building an m42 you are pretty insane, or just have mad love for the m42.

Personally, I think you'll have fun EITHER way you go.

I've driven a Miata MX-5, a MK5 GTi and of course my car on the track and all of them were a hoot to drive.

It's not the car, it's the driver.

+11 for sure. I tracked my dad's E34 Touring w/ S50 swap, passed a lot of faster cars and had a blast doing it.

I have a 195whp M50.. it's great but I'd say go for an M20 and focus on driving/tuning the chassis for a year or two and then once you/she rips up the track throw a swap in and add the extra speed!
Tuning an old chassis to hang w. much more modern cars isn't exactly easy. There's def some limitations I've found w. this car vs my Miata/S2000 background.
Should be fun.. and I'm in it for the long haul!
