brillomaster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 depends if you want any lairy power oversteer moments! but then again, im sure if you had a civic type R you could back it into corners with some trail braking, so either way you've got options! although I would say that if you can drive a moderately powerful RWD car on track, you'll have more confidence in the zed on the road - although the zeds grip levels will likely be a lot higher than a track car.

brillomaster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) yeah seems a bit steep to me - we bought our 330ci for a third of that with similar mileage, no way the mods on that one are worth £2000.

brillomaster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 something like this is what you need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-BMW-330-CI-3-0-SPORT-BLUE-FULL-MOT-98K-MILES-DRIVES-GREAT-NICE-CAR-/191480219258?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c951c467a cheap, likely because its got poverty spec cloth seats, and its a Cat C! but as long as it has working motor, gearbox and brakes that about all you need, anything else is surplus to requirements. then once you have car, you'll need brake pads +fluid (£180) decent tyres (£380) budget coilovers (£190) and harnesses (£40) and you're pretty much all set to have some fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 aye ebay is the place to go for cheap motors... theres quite a few MR2s on there for cheap as well if they're of any interest to you - bit smaller and lighter so cheaper to run and handle better than a beemer as standard, but have to watch out for mid engine handling traits and might lose out a bit on straights. but definitely scour ebay, there is the odd bargain to be had - one of the reasons ours was so cheap was because it was only half painted, but £15 in Halfords spray paint soon sorted that out to an acceptable level for a track car!

nissanman312 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is there some sort of callender you guys work to for your track days or any particular company you use? So you guys know that you will plan ahead for people's commitments etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I can promise you that £2K of MR2 + £2k of turbo is a serious track weapon. Loads of room for big guys, too. You do look like a hairdresser when you rock up at the briefing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 we usually use javelin trackdays http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackday/index.php very reasonably priced, but they do stack'em high, sell'em cheap... so can be quite busy. there are companies that have less entrants, but they cost more, your choice! we also use http://www.trackdays.co.uk/calendar/cars/ and also can get cheap days with http://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/calendar.aspx as well.

Ekona Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Bookatrack are the best company I've ever used. Premium prices, but loads of track time and things like free tea and coffee all day really helps. Plus that's where all the really nice cars go, so you get to see some exotic stuff too.

docwra Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think it depends on the track, and your definition of fun... I dont think it does, bear in mind Ive got a 328 and an MR2 sitting on my drive and Ive owed and driven MX5's on track. The BMW may be faster but its not as much fun, hell its not as much fun as a 200SX (Ive had a few of them too) - at the end of the day its an executive express where the others are sportscars. The MR2, and to a lesser extent the 5 are a hoot, particularly with the roof down We have recently been using Opentrack and cant complain at all - well run, no dicks, some amazing cars (last time out at Spa there was a 991 RSR, 458, MP4 and some kind of Group C Peugeout Sportscar ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
