Going to steer him from the 914. He has had one before and it didn't go well.
He has been bitten by the bug to race now and I am trying to guide him to a competative car in stock SCCA Solo II. How reliable would a 17 yr old hot rod K-car be? 86 GLH for $2500 anybody ever had one of these? Also a 86 GLH-S with 1200 miles on it. I just don't think I could race that car. price is $11,700 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Miata is probably the cheap way to go. 1989 Honda Civic Si is the Car To Have in STS, but you'll spend money to really make it competitive. Just because it has to have hard-compound tires doesn't mean it's cheap to set up. Any of the CRX Si models wil be a fun tossable two-seat front-driver. They're generally as reliable as Civics, except too many of them get "modified" by people stopping at the Rice Counter at every Pep Boys they pass...
Tough to go too far wrong with any of those three. They'll generally be reliable, there's tons of aftermarket support for them, and they are known quantities as far as setup. --DD |
