Keen to go racing - convert or buy complete?
Discussion
Some friends and I co-own a tidy mk1 1.8 eunos. Currently has a TR lane roll bar with harness bar, bilsteins (not lowered), uprated bushes, induction and raised compression, out of date monaco pro seats and yellow stuff pads (normal hoses).
We fancy having a go at racing the car. To convert it for racing would require:
full roll cage
extinguisher
electrical cut off
seats
belts
braided hoses
(then consider gaz gold pros in the future - we couldn't race in a mazda championship as we're running a 1.8 not 1.6 so don't need them for trackday trophy etc unless we wanted to be more competitive)
This would set us back a fair few quid. Is the general opinion that it is worth converting the car or would it be better to sell ours, add a few extra quid and buy a race ready converted car?
thoughts?
