First dedicated track car.

Would take a ton of work to be competitive.
Would likely never beat a miata.
Cool cars though.
>inb4 people suggesting clapped out BMWs

>>16785475

That's a gen 2 though.

Miata, NA or NB

E36 325is

>>16785481
Gen 2 or gen 3 I meant. Anything but the "10,000 no lowballers I know what I got" Supra

>>16785488
I really don't like Miatas at all desu, they do perform well but I'd rather have something else.

E30 318is
Supercharger kit under $1000
Easy 200+HP
Strip interior
Bilstein suspension/HR Sport springs
Full poly bushings

Can't go wrong

He wants to be competitive.
Not get beat by corollas or stuck at home with a broken car.
Fuck off

>>16785517
I should also specify that I've gotten into drifting, which is mainly why I don't want to drift my daily driver. I'll track it, but learning how to drift in a new car I need for work is asking for trouble.

>>16785517
>A corolla is in front of an E30
>That must mean it's faster
Okay buddy
Also M42s have killer reliability

>>16785508
E30 318is is a good start but why the fuck would he supercharge it

s52 would be cool

E30s are SLOOOOOOWWWWWW

FB RX-7, get the carbed engine if you're worried about dorito reliability

This.

>>16785532
I was leaning heavily towards these but after more research parts and maintenance may be an issue, although I'd love to blast by people on a 10,000 rpm Dorito.

>>16785529
S52 is lame
I've driven both E36 M3s and supercharged 318is (actually E36 318ti but similar engine) and I really enjoyed the 318 more.
forced induction is rad and swaps are lame IMO.

>>16785563
I wouldn't worry about parts or maintenance. They have huge communities and are super simple.
My next car is probably going to be an FB

Same here. Probably bp8 swap it though

https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/6001068697.html

>>16785604
I don't get swapping Miata engines into things. It's not a particularly special engine.I'd keep the 12a and just put money towards a Bridgeport or something
I plan to make mine the least practical daily and then daily it.

>>16785641
Fuel efficiency, more power, easily available parts and aftermarket.
Plus a 12a wont pass emissions where i live.

>>16785648
Oh I see you live in a shithole.
I live in Florida and I prioritize fun and looking like a hooligan over fuel economy.

>>16785699
Wow... you got mad fast. Insecure much?
The bp8 makes more power.
You can look like a hooligan all you want douchebag

>>16785708
Lol I wasn't trying to be mean. I like rotaries sorry. You don't have to get defensive about your econobox engine.
If anything you're the douchebag for trying to make an rx7 into a Miata.

>>16785722
I love rotaries. Have rebuilt many. I just know 12a parts are hard to get. Especially in my area.
So why not resurrect a shell with a blown engine?
Chill out man. Go take some spice and eat someones face or something

>>16785722
If I was going to swap a Miata engine into an RX-7 I would just buy a Miata in the first place.

>>16785732
I had a miata. Its super uncomfortable and cramped.
FB is much nicer.
Plus no annoying convertible

>>16785743
>not at least swapping in one of mazda's low displacement 1.8ish l V6s for some special snowflake status

>>16785851
Takes WAY more money to do that.
Not really worth it.

>>16785699
>implying you can hoon with florida highway patrol crawling up your ass at all times

>>16785931
Never had any problems with FHP, only shitty local police giving me tickets for 55 in a 45.

>>16785475
>piece of shit car that will be so worn out that it won't be near as nice to drive as it was when it was new 30 years ago

how about no

206 clone kart

google it

>>16785475
How has no one suggested a 240 or rx7 FC?
They're totally within your price range and the aftermarket is endless.

>go ride a go cart instead
lol no

>>16785648
>>16785726

13b swaps are a thing you know.

>>16786629
Yup. In know. Been trying to buy one for about a year now. Not a single one has popped up

>>16785544
Rx7? 1985 model?

>>16788095
79 to 85 in the US.
81 to 85 are best.

>>16785722
>gets mad and defensive over rotary purist bullshit
>>You don't have to get defensive about your econobox engine

you want an mr2

>>16785480
Op isn't entering a series or anything
Its a track car. Just a car to develop his skills
Anything with cheap parts and decent handling will do

>>16785648
They are 32 years old for the latest models do they even need emissions testing? If the factory engine can't pass emissions a swap probably isn't legal

Also it's like 10hp difference...
That's an exhaust on the 12a

>>16785625

>>16785531
>40 less hp
>200 extra kg
gee I wonder why

>>16788723
>op says he does not want a miata
>move engine, swap badge, and sell it to op

>>16789000
Swaps are legal in my state. No under hood inspections either.
As long as it passes the sniffer
Its like a 35hp difference actually
>>16789517
Ah yes. The good old toyota miata.
Or was is the mazda mr2?

>>16789601
So you wanna make it less reliable than a rotary?

>>16789615
There's 4G63s putting out 900+ horsepower out there. Mitsubishi's problem is literally everything that isn't in the engine bay.
