Hi,
I'm a noobe here, so please forgive me if any of my questions.
I currenly autocross a XR4ti in the DSP class.
I'm looking for an inexpensive FF to use (mostly) in the CM autocross class. The car should be "ready to race", cost less than $15K. I'm just going to autocrossing it.
I'm in the San Jose area of CA. I saw a nice cars here on Apex.
I'd really like to find one here on the west coast.
My questions:
1) Am I being realistic in the above requirements?
2) Can anyone point me to a knowledgeable shop in my area for parts & maintenance?
(I can do a lot of basic maintenance myself, but I don't know enough about
suspension setup for example.)
3) Based upon my research here, so far, I'm considering:
a Van Diemen RF95 to 98 or
a Reynard 87/88 to 95
What other cars would you recommend? I'm most concerned with parts availability,
ease of maintenance and potential re-sale at a later date.
Thanks,
Ben
