bmerideth5 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 As the title suggests, I am looking to get into ChampCar and we're looking for a Race Ready (or mostly Race Ready) car to buy. I would also prefer that it be in Florida so I can take a look at the car before buying. Please send any and all cars... Thanks for the help!!!

55mini Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 ^^^^ If that one is fairly current I would jump on it as it sounds to be ready with a good swap and right parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastZ06 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Can you be a little more specific on what you are lookin for? Price? Spares? Ect.? $3k-8k depending on spares, like electronics/data logging/digital dash, 12 spare wheels and tires, 6 running engines, 10 trans in different states, 2-3 extra running cars... Current 2019 tech, raced at Road Atlanta and Daytona with minimal issues, 90+% track time overall, about 16 races with Champcar over the last 4-5 years.

Team Infiniti Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I can vouch for both chummy and beast, the cars are real and the people are good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer7x Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hey Bryce, there's a solid front running e36 on "the champcar garage" on Facebook located in Vidalia(south georgia) that was just raced at NCM a few weeks ago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmerideth5 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hey everyone, thanks for sharing... I should have been more specific... I'm 6'6", so I would probably shy away from Miata's, but depending on how the cage is built could make it work... thank you Chummy. BeastZ06 - Is it the Neon you're talking about? I would prefer to not spend more than $4k, but depending on Spares, Electronics, current seat/harnesses, etc. may be convinced to spend more...

bmerideth5 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Waiting to get accepted by admins for The ChampCar Garage group on fb. Thanks for the info. I also autocross and track an e36, so that might be beneficial (I know how to set them up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer7x Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) There's no price posted for the E36 on Facebook but if I had to guess their probably asking in the $8K-$10K range... Unfortunately your going to have a hard time finding anything competitive currently in the $4K range...there was a quick, sorted and competitive '01 Nissan Maxima up north that went for $5K Edited June 28, 2019 by Racer7x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there’s no chance of you fitting with the current cage in my neon. The seat is on sliders, but even removed would likely need the floor cut and lowered. 6’2” is the tallest that have been in the car and they don’t really fit.

One of the Neons i have done fits a 6' 6" guy. You have some hope. You need to cut out the floor lateral ribs the oem seat rests on. Build support rails for the seat out of 1x1 that goes on the bottom of floor welded to pinch weld and at tunnel. Hammer floor flat to the 1x1 and get the seat\slider\brackets such that the seat bottom almost drags the floor. OEM floor pan can be left intact, saving a ton of time over cutting a car for a drop pan (done that, it stinks).

jim161c Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Chummy, Please send pics of the Miata. I am in St Augustine Fl and interested in the car. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chummy Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) As you can see from the last picture I have tons of Miata spares. I think there's 4 miatas behind the race car. I also have a couple more. And probably five cars in parts. The car will come with spare Smurf colored doors and rear bumper. If you'd like other spare parts we can definitely work something out Edited July 1, 2019 by Chummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
