It's the first half of that sentence that is the problem, considering for a lot of in-college-BMW-drivers, a $200 parts order represents a significant chunk of their bank account.
I didnt mean to offend anyone at all. What I meant was I understand a couple hundred bucks and a few days of work. I understand budget limits, I was in college too!
For anyone thinking of doing a track car...BUY dont build. Its much cheaper and less headache. I knew this, but I still love the build process, and yes I do love mine, but man it could have been cheaper. Im almost 22k into mine including cost of car. You could buy a similiarly built one for 15-18k. Cars that win will typically command more, up to about 35K, but for most purposes............a $7.5K spec miatas all day long, $8K Spec E30s all day long, GTS2 E36 M3s $15-18K all day long.
