seems like a nice little buy imo i would certainly try and get it for

cheers. tbh thats the price as mine was the scond highest offer, so dropping price might be hard.

i am having doubts about my big plans for a skyline track is sensible regarding body work etc.

this would be a good alternative and as a lot of expensive stuff already fitted like suspension and brakes.

hoses and welding is pretty straigh forward

go for it mate, i think a skyline track car would be pretty expensive imo based on the fact that i only have a 200sx 14a track car and thats not cheap and you certainly wouldnt want to start bashing panels in on a skyline

it was one of stuarts comments that got me thinking about the panels issue.

i was either gonna buy a 32 GTST and stick an RB25/26 in it or get a 200SX S13 and put an RB25 in that.

i would like to try drifting and this might not be suitable.

however my priority is tracks and not just snetterton.

a 1.6 litre engine will be well cheap to thrash and loads of spares and people with experience

i think i will go with my heart for once.

cheers kev ( i know who to blame lol )

no worrys mate, i would not chose a mid engined car if you are going to any drifting mate as they have a habit of spining on their own axis which is not good but thats just imo.

Skyline and cheap do not go in the same sentence, beleive me!!

I would say that if you can get the welding done fairly cheaply, then go for it. Withe the wheels, tyres and suspension etc. it has to be worth a go. My work coleague has just bought one too, which needed a bit of welding and he plans on doing some trackdays in it.

The owner of that MR2 is razza987 over on SXOC and I think he came to the Snetterton trackday last February and came out with me for a passenger ride too
