BUILD a car for 7 to 10K???

Hmmm...even if the donor is free...thats a tough number to hit.

Sure it can be done, but do you want to be competitive? THATS the question. An E36 motor alone runs 12K..add tires a cage, wheels dampers, safety gear...you'll fly past 20K faster than Coke out of a dropped bottle.

IF you want to be competitive in SCCA, and spend that amount, I think buying an ITB Honda, like last years ARRC winning Accord is your best choice.
