Fun car for AutoX and some DD

[five-and-dime]

Ok so I usually think poll threads are kinda dumb but hopefully the ratsun crew can help me out with out too much flaming. I want to get another car, hopefully something to start autocrossing and open track days and whatnot. Something to work on and stuff. I dont have a ton of money as you can see by my car choices. Ive owned a few 510's and a few 240's so I know a bit more about them. Im basically looking for a fun relatively cheap car that I can take on drives here and there but more of a fun project. I know this will be a biased poll for datsun peeps my only negative for the datsuns are they are getting rather expensive and I will end up doing more restoring than anything. But trust me Im real fond of 510s. Please dont flame me too much for putting a honda in there. They are just so cheap and I see a lot of them at event. Not a huge fan of fwd though. Any other new ideas would be cool too. These are just some of the vehicles that come to mind. Let me know guys thanks.

if you want to do track days/autox and not have it be a car you have to restore the vote goes to the miata

I like the live axle myself. (my 1200's) leaf springs, not so much.

Ah damn I forgot to put in ae86. Yeah hes right though the 240's and corollas are insanely overpriced everybody has to jump on the bandwagon and own one. thats why i sold mine. What about a Z car. Ill be honest I dont know a lot about them but I think they look sweet!

I have owned 3 240z cars ,,, lots of fun ,,, you have to tinker a bit though ( and look at typical problems ) ,,, COULD be a daily driver ! ,,, some are less than a daily while others are closer to a daily driver ! ,,, Remember they are dual carbs :)

 

^^^ The problem with any Datsun is ,,, Always wanting Moar of a good thing , always tinkering , and always upgrading :lol:

What about a Z car.

 

 

if your trying to avoid/cant afford doing resto than dont get a Z or a dime

I autocrossed a first generation honda CRX for a couple of years. Excellent x-cross car, and daily driveable.

 

Also possible to build a super light car if you are interested in building one.

Starion! Ftw

 

Awsome factory lsd 2.6 turbo leather interior. vented 4 wheel disc brakes 235 ft pounds of torque at 10 pounds of boost 180 horse. .

 

But if you buy one change th timing chain and buy a ajusa bimetal head gasket then turn the boost up to 14 pounds
