your opinions......
link dont work mate best off putting the item number
I think that used to have a very powerfull redtop in it.

that wont go for cheap, be a couple of grand i would think.

Depends what time and space you have at home. If you dont have the time to build one then buy one. But if you built one you can have it how you want it straight away.
that has got some very serious potential and defo had some serious work on it.

but i have to agree with cooper's last statement of building your own to how you would like one.
It depends on what experience you have. If you can move the engine from the front of the car to the back etc then buy a cheapy and do it yourself. If you cant do all the work yourself youve got to consider how much you need to pay someone to do all the alterations as there are a lot of hours go into getting a car ready to win track races. There s a big difference between a track car and a track car that wins races.
I'd say buy one already done, loads cheaper.
do ya own
Id say do your own too, old Mini cooper, and a hayabusa engine in the back Icon_biggrin

I can't find it anywhere now, but in one of my Mini mags years ago there was a Mini with twin 600cc Hayabusa engines in it.

i say buy one and finish it..

its much cheaper, and most of the basic track car properties are the same... stripped, caged etc..

you can make the fine adjustmnents yourself, and voila!

Are you sure? Hayabusa engines are 1300cc.

I thought that too Icon_confused

But I would buy one already done, bet you can save half of what it'd take to do yourself

this is what happens when you start from scratch
you end up find out how little time you have and how much of a ball ache it really is.
