now thats the stuff Big Grin

- Chris - 10-13-2004

don't sell the R... I really think its a great track car.

- Mike - 10-13-2004

there are better track cars for the money.

- .RJ - 10-13-2004

Not with better resale value Wink

- Evan - 10-13-2004

ITR "resale value" = a check from the insurance company

You missed the point. $13k FD is cheaper than RJ's ITR, so yes, FD > riced civic

- Mike - 10-13-2004

you missed the point.

fd track costs + fd maintenance + fd insurance + fd initial cost > itr track costs + itr maintenance + itr insurance + itr initial cost

Hey evan, why arent you tracking the WRX anymore? Wink

- JackoliciousLegs - 10-13-2004

but you can't deny the UNBELIEVABLE HOTNESS Smile lol

16" tires arent significantly much more than 15"s
A balanced car will wear tires better than a front heavy fwd.
As well braked relatively light rwd car, brake costs will be similar.
Initial cost of an ITR is more. Insurance is sure-as-shit more. ITR maintenence should be less, but ive seen way too many smoking and ill-engined ITRs at the track to assume that the engine will go a good long time either

in the end, I dont think you can say an FD will be a whole lot more than an ITR.

.RJ Wrote:Hey evan, why arent you tracking the WRX anymore? Wink
because im making payments on it. one more reason you shouldnt be tracking the R. (but not necessarily a FD either)

Evan Wrote:16" tires arent significantly much more than 15"s

They are when you're using falkens and used 205/50/15 R-tires. You can't get 16" r-tires for $100/set all year long. Even going to 17's to use Falkens, they're still $106 (225/45/17) and $114 (245/45/17) each.

Quote:A balanced car will wear tires better than a front heavy fwd.

A 250+ rwhp car will wear tires faster than a front heavy fwd car. I have no tire wear issues at all.

Quote:As well braked relatively light rwd car, brake costs will be similar.

No, but its a lot faster - more speed = more brakes (ke = 1/2mv^2). It does have a better braking system, so it may just be a draw.

Quote:Initial cost of an ITR is more.

They're about equal.

Quote:Insurance is sure-as-shit more.

Insurance on a "sports car" is going to be less than an ITR? Probably another draw. I'm paying $60-70/month for the ITR now.

Quote: ITR maintenence should be less, but ive seen way too many smoking and ill-engined ITRs at the track to assume that the engine will go a good long time either

I've seen several ITR's with well over 100K at the track, their engines are fine. I havent had to put any additional $$ into maintenance this year, or have any unexpected costs.

j00 are high Wink

- Maengelito - 10-13-2004

- Mike - 10-13-2004

would an FD really be that hard to maintain for track use? sure, it might be wise to upgrade the apex seals, and take a good look at the cooling system, but i think mazda had competition in mind with that car and tested it for that environment accordingly.
