Project: Budget Bugeye Track Toy - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

012.5RS · 04-20-2009, 08:49 AM

I'm currently building my 02 WRX wagon into an auto x car as well as an occasional track day car. This is gonna be done on a fairly strict budget and wont be a stripped down racer but a weekend track toy that can also run and get groceries(since it is a wagon). This car is pretty much to allow me to auto x and road course and become a better driver as I build my 95L into a full blown time attack car.
