Hi there,
After attending a Trackday and having a few passenger laps in one of my friends cars, I've decided it's something I need to get involved in!
My budget isn't massive, and the best car I can think of to use is a Puma!
I did own one around 5 years ago and it was a great car, but I part exd it when it developed a misfire.
So my newbie questions are;
Should the engines and gearboxes hold up to some track abuse, being that they are all 15+yrs old?
Anyone running one as a track car, what shall I look for before a buy? I'm not fussed about anything other than solid engine and gearbox everything else will likely be stripped out anyway! But are there common faults I should be aware of?
I want to buy one and have it fitted with bucket seats and harnesses for £1k max. Maybe even some decent tyres and brakes if budget will allow
Thanks to anyone that can help!
