Hello,

I've been a car enthusiast since I was 16, and I am going to buy a car for fun/weekends as I don't need one for daily driving.

My goal is to build a high quality, responsive and safe chassis and then get the where with all to get an SR20 into it.

I was looking at buying an S13 in 06, but prices were too high IMO back then, the drifting craze seemed much stronger. Things seem to have died down since then, or I'm just making more money. Either way can't wait to get started.

I'm budgeting 2-5000 for the car, depending on all factors, but seeing as I don't need a car, I'm debating getting a shell. Since this will be my first real performance endeavor, do you think adding a base line 10% to my entire budget to cover unexpected things will be enough? Or should I anticipate more?
