Re: Building a racecar is expensive. But you should do it.
What a great track for lower power/light cars. I love the series of sweepers. It looks like turn 4/5 is critical. He was going to have his battles with the blue/orange miata and made a monster run out of 5 through the pack of Miatas and then checked out. That was great and totally disposed of the blue/orange Miata in that move.

i almost bought that guys integra!!
so i suppose for regional type racing..using the money for seat time may be the best mod after corner balancing

If your new to racing, chumpcar or WRL is a great place to get that seat time. At a good event you will have 100 cars with varying ability and speed.

$16k does not seem bad to build a car, if only people realized that even a fairly simple/solid build is not cheap.

Re: Building a racecar is expensive. But you should do it.
Is it ok to to run an aggressive front pad and fully metallic, but otherwise "standard" (I'm talking like Centric brand from RockAuto) rear pad on aggressive street tires (~300 TW) for daily driving, autocross (~8 events per year) and occasional track use (2-3 events per year)? I just always read that it's bad to mix pad compounds front to rear but I guess it's different for a FWD car. Thanks in advance!

The Prelude looks pretty nice!!
Just one comment, you can get on track and be somewhat competitive for a bit less money, depending on class and where you are racing but to run at the front in a big field, this is the ball park you will probably need to be in..
