looking for a track car
 
When I get back from deployment I plan on building a circuit, autox car. I had a 240sx with a ka and loved it but I'm wondering about other options. I was going to get a 300zx from a friend back home but the jackus recently wrecked it. I'm looking for an older rwd car where the insurance won't kill me, so far here are the choices, budget ~$30k:

-240sx turbo ka, blow an engine can pick one up for mad cheap
-240sx sr20, solid engine w/ crazy aftermarket support, lighter
-FC RX-7, the gen3's are too expensive
-Miata, don't know much about them just know there's alot of them racing so something good must be up
-your input here I'm open for pretty much anything, my friend mentioned a motorex r32 gtr but the whole insurance thing and finding parts may get me in trouble in the long run.

Thanks for you time, lates.

save up another $8500 and get an 04 Lotus Elise

That would be mad nice but insurance will kill me!

for 30K id say either:

1) '99 10th anniv. miata (comes wiith 6 spd manual and sport suspension), spend about a good $6000 to do a turbo and full stand alone engine managment system, good for around 240hp to the wheels reliably in a 2300 lb car, and youll have a good chunk of change left over

2) FD rx7 twin turbo, doesnt take much for this car to be a kickass track/autox car

3) used 2000 s2000, can get these for around $23000 if you look hard enough and the car is pretty much ready for track duty as is

i'm with him on the s2000... those shits are badass... if not jus pay the insurance on an elise... i wanted an older one but not enough money
