I have had this idea in my head for quite some time. I actually got really close to building it at one. We had the car in our shop ready to go but life got in the way and it did not happen. Here are some photos of the car we had and were planning to modify for track day fun.
This is what I started with the first time around but we had to sell it due to loosing the garage.
The plan is to take an older pro four chassis. Square up the suspension. Add a 4age and a t5 and go auto crossing and or HPDE. If I got really motivated I could actually make it street legal and have a really scary street toy as well.
Two square it up involves taking the shims out of the left front and changing an axle and axle tube on the 9 inch quick change. For the street add fender flairs and cycle fenders and just leave it alown and keep it as a track duty only.
I have also mulled over using Miata power and trans. I have been quietly searching for a candidate car as they are now older and out of date. The newer cars have an off center chase. The older ones are square so converting them to left and right turning duties is rather simple.
Ohya and We got this car complete with a multitude of spares for less than 4K. I can only assume that they are now going for less if I can find one as there really is no use / class for them anymore and they are long since been made uncompetitive in the Pro Four class.
Another motor that would be fun but I really know nothing about would be the 1.8 V6
Anyway I just wanted to share what has been rolling around in the block above my shoulders.
