Years maybe but someday I will.Top Gear showed it can be built in 8 hours, just need to be racing the STIG for motivation. Very cool and I'd do more research myself except that my one experiance with them was an 8am oil spill across the front strech to delay the next HPDE session. So I'd be worried about reliability
I'm going to be using (more then likely) a coveland kit, right now i'm finding a beater miata to get up to snuff then that'll be my donor car. A budget for an 18 year old full time student is TIGHT for a race car.
but she'll get done! like i said, i predict a long project, but hey, i'd rather build my own race car then buy it!As for the street, i dunno, once i'm done studying and working, i've been dreamin' about an elise.. maybe? i'd have to live at home for another year, which is kinda pathetic but not really...it's "smarter" to invest in property or something else other then cars
well that's what i'm told, but they dont understand.
