PCD: Last year's version
Next year weez keeping score, points will be awarded based on the old FIA scoring system. (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1) If we have less than 8 entries per event, points will be scored to the final position based on PCD entries.
Prizes to be decided later (cash, booze, or blow) and awards will be given to top 3 points scorers.
Get at meh!

What do you think, mileage too high for a track car?

Pete, that's a nice e46 and a good price. I think Justin's e36m had miles about that high when he got it. I don't know wha motors for those would cost but I would venture a guess that finding a used stock motor would probably cost close to what Chu rebuilt his entire Evo motor for (not that I know that number either but I can guess a ballpark).
My goal is to get a cheaper rwd track car in a few years. I've thought about old BMW's or a basket case cheap Miata (I imagine their motors are cheap to acquire or I could pony up and do an LSx swap if money were right).

my work schedule sucks. I only have off 24th-25th, but i am getting out at 4pm on the 26th to whoop some bish *** at lvgp.
yeah, i'm FB friend with chris dinh. he got that sti and now has s2k. that's weak that he can't spend 200 bones to learn how to drive that car. i would drop mad s2k knowledge on that fool.
I really want to buy something cheap and do all the work to it for the experience. I even contemplated rebuilding the entire corolla when the motor is done. I can get a fully rebuilt motor for $1500. With my choices for cheap DD in the market, I'd almost prefer keeping what I have and knowing it wasn't neglected for years by who ever.

I am not a fan of the E46 cars as the expendables and maintenances are more expensive than the E36...plus they are heavier and not nearly as well balanced on the track. That said, that seems like it's a good price on an E46 M3 but you can be assured of several $$$$s in maintenance and services. The mileage doesn't scare me if it has been properly maintained.
Find out if the rear subframe has been reinforced or if it hasn't what condition the mounts are...if they ripped out it's big bucks to repair...if it hasn't been done it'll be one of the first things you do before getting it on the track.
$2k for a non-running 3.0 M3 is way too much money...for a 96+ 3.2 it wouldn't be too bad, but still spendy when you can pick up a good working example for $5-7K.
