Welcome to the site. You can build a nice "race" car with 10-15g's.... 1st or 2nd gen DSM, 240, Miata, Mk 3 Supra....
I suggest a 240 with suspension, wheels and tires. After you feel comfortable with the car swap in an sr or boost the ka. The engine/chassis is tough, reliable and the sr and ka make great hp. A couple of months ago I took my car out for a drive on Friday, drove it to Sebring on Saturday for a track event and then drove it to BMP on Sunday for a TR track event.

i found the best way to learn is to go to events and find friends who have the same interest

listen when they talk, read up about the particulars you are interested in and you hear about and then ask questions as you go along.

i always say do your own project, build a car that is you

and welcome to TR

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
