Hi Folks,
Many (maaaany) moons ago, I used to race single seater's (FF's, FPA's, to name a couple). Been out of the game for a long while, and looking at getting back into racing/track days.
I'm tempted to get a set of track-day wheels for my Omega (3.2 manual, ex-plod with LSD), but it'd be sacrilege (she's one of the last - 2004, and was an unmarked car in Nocturno Blue). I'd never forgive myself if I bent her

The wife on the other hand has a 1.7 Puma - but when I suggested stripping it out, she wasn't exactly accomodating to the idea...!

I've got the book to build a Haynes Roadster (Lotus 7 rip-off), but ain't going to have the time to make one for a fair few years (work in the Public Sector).
Any suggestions on a cheap motor, with a decent chassis, which could hold it's own on my local circuit (Oulton Park - mainly a high-speed circuit)? I don't want to spend more than a grand...
Cheers
