cullenmin Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Welcome to the site jimmy. I also did the evo thing but that only lasted 4-5 months then I was back in a scoob TBH I dont there is such a thing as reliable trackday fun. Your always going to break something along the way unless you spend a fortune on it before it see's the track. A lot of guys on here are building/have built track cars so there is some knoweledgable peeps on here that are always willing to give you a hand & point you in the right direction. Rich
Maxxed_Ross Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 hello! Nice to see there's a good few new members appearing round my way
fai17 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hi and welcome back...see you on knockers soon. Track toy = lots of spare time and cash...
jimmymc1 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 yep built 4 trackcars myself to date in various different states of tune . find that less engine mods make for decent regular fun tbh. as for the cash and spare time lol. i work so many hours its easier to say how many i dont work! but seeing as most of these are at night i have all day too prep and attend trackdays! for me building the car is about 80 percent of the fun and will probs only do 5 days a year so should be reliable enough. ive started gathering the parts already have most of the internals here waiting on clutch so i can start on engine anytime. have a host of whiteline gear just a matter of trying that stuff out and deciding what works and what doesnt. but major headache is suspension not sure what people in scooby circles go for. had full ralliart suspension on my evo thought it was very very nice but also tried proflex on it which again was v impressive ! might go that route again unless anyone knows differnent? cheers jimmymc
