PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
Nate, a big guy like you (no homo) might have issues with a miata and tracking. They are cheap cars but there are trade-offs on both ends. YOu don't need to go full retard on the EVO just yet, still plenty of low hanging fruit to grab there...
I'm ready to go full-retard and buy this...

Or this.

Pete, I fully support a 996 turbo but for $35k and under.
Nate, Miata is a stupid idea. And stop thinking you need to mod the Evo beyond what you have. If you want it to do something different then you're better off getting a different car. No sense in trying to make it something it's not.

not trying to turn it into somethings its not. i really wanna just commit it to full track car, weld in a cage/gut it and slowly build up the power....but i cant convince myself to do it. loooove tracking it and have no intentions of stopping, but i also have a tough time chopping up a somewhat clean/low mileage car.

I thought of turning the Evo into a track prepped car but I'm going to keep it as is and sell it as a street car much easier when the time comes. If I ever do a track car it would be something worth less than $20k and if its more than $20k, it would be something like a 911 or e92 m3 that had an accident or flood damage and worthy of stripping.

I haven't really looked into it yet, but I'll be building my motor over the weekend. Now the question is - stay 2.0, go long rod 2.0, 2.1, or 2.3?! If there are already threads, point me in the right direction!
2.2 LR if you got the loot. Probably the best documented build on the forum. Dude is an engineer and gots mad skillz

I'm not sure my pockets are deep enough for that - I don't have an unlimited budget.
I'm going to try and build the motor, upgrade the turbo, and go E85 this winter. There are a few other smaller issues I'd like to address, but those are my main points for the winter. Going to build the car to be real competitive in TT3.
