Buying a track/weekend car, Your thoughts on car choices Options

[Sev408]

Ok well ive decided to purchase a second car for track/ weekend driving. I would only have liabilty insurance so my costs will be low. Dont worry the celica is still getting ssiii lips, rims, and coilovers and it will stay my dailydriver.

Anyway my car options im looking at now with their motor swaps:

Nissan 240sx 89-91 (sr20)
Mazda FD -95 (13b)
Mazda FC 90-92
Mazda Miata 93-97 (Turbo kit)
Toyota Celica 94-99 (3sgte)
Toyota MR2 91-95 (3sgte)


All of these cars have possibilities for upgrades on suspension/motor work.
All the cars i mentioned are RWD cept for the Celica. I would buy the car for around 500 most likely in very poor condiditon, strip the interior and do a motor swap. Install roll cage, racing seats/ harnesses, stage 2 clutch kit/ lightend flywheel, coilovers, wider rims, etc. etc.

I would just like to hear your guys opinions on my car choices and hear what you have to say,

My first weekend/track car was an 87 RX7 (FC). My second was a 94 Celica ST... my currents... an AE86 Corolla and a 91 MR2. You should start with something you'd be familiar with. I personally wouldn't go Celica because you would be better off just modding your current car... That... and FR layouts are more worthwhile in terms of fun factor... =]
