Message Tons of people sell their first track cars when they move up. Advantage (or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it) is that the cars are already built up and sorted out for you, and generally set up to pass tech inspection in the various classes (right kind of roll bar, harnesses, etc).

:on some options I have put together. I am just prospecting now, probably won't do anything about it for 2 years or so.
:I have 4 main options.
:First Gen RX-7:
:
:240Z:
:
:240SX:
:
:AE86 Corolla:
:
:My criteria are as follows: Initial cost <$2,000, Light weight, redily available parts, RWD. I may try drifting someday, but for right now I'd be looking for a car which handles like it is on rails.
:So I'm thinking of pros and cons. Pros: anything pre 1982 (240 & RX-7)I don't need to have emissions equipment to make it street legal. SL is not a priority, as I will probably tow to and from track. Cons: they're old and parts may be hard to find.
:I haven't dove too far into this yet, just doing some research.
:Here are some links to things I found:
:eBay SR20 auction
:eBay 240Z auction
:eBay first gen RX-7 auction
:Paint, looks etc are not important, as I will probably just get a maaco paint job or paint it flat black my self. Just looking to get your opinions. I am now addictied to track driving after doing it once :-)
