if you've only got 5k it will be pretty tight. The only real option is to buy something already built.

go here and look for anything where the asking price is 10k. offer them 5 and voila you have a track car.

expect it to need work but at least it will come with the wheels/suspension/cage/seats/belts that you need.

heres some, first couple are the best bet I think

not prepared but a good choice for under 2l categories if you have the extra 10k to finish it

R31, with vlt conversion and s13 suspension, r32 brakes. would be right on the limit of your budget but doable i think.

either that or an old corolla, be it older rwd, or later fwd model. early civics are a chance too

bike? or one of those small things that use bike engines but look like V8 supercars. how much are they worth?

Yeah 5k there isnt much out there...

Bobby's answer is the best, go kart and plenty left for a trailer and parts and fuel :laugh:

Otherwise....

If 5k is your budget, its really an r31/vl non turbo, then suspension and brakes and exhaust and intake. Strip what you dont need. might have some $ left for a seat and harness

weld the diff.

Can do the same for the KE70 rolla's.

you'd be hard pushed to buy an mx5 for 5k or under.

edit - you'll need good tyres too...that'll limit costs..

series 2 nissan bluebird 910 sedan about $1000 for a good example

-2ltr high compression L4

-5 speed manual

-elec ignition standard

-elec fuel pump standard

-therno fan standard

fit s13 coilovers and brakes to the front and coilovers to the back about $1500

r31 front brakes are a bolt for bolt mod (if s13 det brakes are not used instead - $500 from coilovers and add about $150)

r31 or s13 front sway $30

Good clutch $150

TRX and LX had the disk rear end (range from $150 - 300 if fitting afterwards)

dif is a bit weak so upgrade to the later h190 dif out a series 3 bluebird then weld it (centres for either h165 or h190 are about $75 to 100 each but need the right beam axle for centre - see above cost - less for drum of course)

save up and fit twin 45mm webers ($1000) or slot a ca18, sr20, z18 or fj20 in with nothin but a soldering iron and a spoon - you may need to fit a series 3 ca20s 910 front cross member for ease of fitment

S13 turbo 15 inch x 6 inch mags $200

all out a quick easy build will cost about $4100

factor in harness, seat, semi tyres, roll cage and strut brace... but they are irrelevant depending on racing type and most of the above can be sourced for less if you pick up a s3 trx or a less than prime example

wouldn't hurt for fresh rings and bearings in the old L20 after 25 years

subtract spare wheel, interior, sound deadening, unnecessary electrics, bumpers if necessary you will be under 1000kg easily (about 1100kg standard)

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
