I think it happened when I brought up snapchat... haha

but I think we can all agree that both is best, but at least some booty is a requirement...


so now that we got that out of the way, maybe back to cars again?

That could be taken a number of different ways as well boss man...

but seriously lets get back on the budget track car topic.

The cheapest track ***** I can think of is a D16 Eg or Ek civic. They are as low as 1K and strip it and start riding it to death.

either that or a miata... for 1k you'd be getting similar sh*t condition for both... although if you go for a coupe or sedan civic you might do better... hatchbacks tend to be a little more expensive

another good one to look at would be an integra sedan. the chassis is stiffer than the coupe, weigh about the same, and their cheaper since most people want the 2 dr...

I don't know what happened to this thread either but I might as well hop on the bandwagon. Sorry for bringing us back to Randomville but I feel withholding the information I'm sharing is an injustice.

Snapchats to add for boob and/or butt connoisseurs:

ohrileyreid (Riley Reid)
schadenfreude87 (Lexi Belle)
cheekzisback (Jada Stevens)
benzmafia (Nikki Benz)
sydneymaler (beautiful model works for Toyo Tires)

There now where are my free engine parts?

Very true the integra sedan is a nice track car with some weight reduction and stiffening not fast but fun fun fun

haha, yeah, if you're looking that cheap, you're not gonna get fast... but it'd be faster than a d16 civic

Lets class this up a bit. How about a Porsche Boxster or Cayman. Older ones can be had surprisingly cheap.

they need LMS done right away and a deep oil sump. talking to current owners they say they're awesome. talking to past owners they say they're maintenance nightmares (they never got anymore specific than that...)

in my opinion they also need a better set.. stock ones really lack any kinda support to keep you from sliding around, and they're leather (in most cases, there might be early boxters with cloth) making them even more slippery

the sedan is the closest to the Type R, in terms of chassis stiffness. if i didn't build an ITR for the track, i'd do the Integra sedan.
as far as them not being fast track cars? i dunno... i've seen a few turn some serious lap times.
a 200+whp shell with wheels and good suspension can be pretty fast LOL.

it was originally brought up in the context of really cheap... so prolly starting with a non GSR... with just a couple mods, its not gonna be quick

true, true. "cheap" being the key word. i suppose cheap is relative. i don't know any cars that are cheap and fast. what's the triangle that you can only have two of? "fast, reliable, cheap"?
