hi all,

i've been a keen reader of the forums on this site for a while now.

the info and advice you guys give is second to none.

the time has come for me to throw my hat into the ring and i was hoping you fantastic people might impart some of your knowledge and help me get started.

the plan is to build a car that will be able to compete in the LMA eurosaloons. these guys are running serious equipment. many ex touring cars and guys with bags of cash able to spend what it takes.

i want to compete with these guys but i need to do it on a budget. of sorts at least.

i'm planning on getting an STI type RA version 4 for my base and building up from there. i think this car has the potential with the right mods to do well.

i'll need to get it up to around 550-650 BHP and be abe to corner like its on rails. on research i've noticed a lot of good equipment can be bought at a reasonable price on this site, e-bay, etc.

i need to know what you guys think, what parts you recommend, good people to do the work.

i'll start a thread and keep it up to date as the project goes along so you can keep tabs if your interested.

i'm looking at a car right now. 3.5k.

thanks for all your help guys and i'll keep you all posted as soon as its starts.

My advice would be to forget the 3.5k car your looking at and buy a car already built. It will cost a fortune just to get a car to the power you want and thats without brakes,suspension and all the the associated parts that go with a build like that.

Better than spending 50k of your own!

Before you open your wallet or lift a spanner: get your licence and next years Blue Book and register for the championship. Then, when you know that youre in and youre certain of the regs, then you can buy/build.

thanks for the heads up re the green time attack car final and chris,

unfortunately thats the reason i'm here.

i did see that car, went to view it at the guys house, agreed a price and to go back the following weekend with the cash and collect the car.

suddenly he stopped answering the phone and when he eventually did he said he'd dropped the phone and broke it.

same thing the following week only this time he'd been addmitted to hospital.

now he's not answering again so i guess i need to look elsewhere.

i even agreed for him to still be involved with the car and be able to drive it on track days with me.

gotta love people like that.
