selling my ciera and looking.... (compact cars?)

well i might sell my 86 ciera and buy a different car (5 speed and 2 door deffently!) i really love small 5 speed cars (way easier parking and i love shifting though the gears) im also thinking of gutting the car and doing a complete metal panel interior (trying to get rid of weight) im thinking of doing a car thats cheap to insure (im only 16 and only have a seasonal time job) so im thinking of a nissan micra or something.
what do you think?

something under $1500-2000 but it can be crap so even up to $2500

also am thinking of something i can throw some preformance parts on and race at the local circle track and some mountain roads.

nissan sentras, mazda miatas, accords, civics, 1st and 2nd generation rx7, the list goes on and on, out of all of them, i think iw ould go with the 1st gen rx7 or miata.

well im looking for something that will be a good contender for a little racer (roll cage, and only front seats) im thinking something around 1985-1990 im also thinking of doing a one off wide body kit (main reason for the 2 door)

also metal panels are a must (wide body will be metal and will be built into the fenders so its one peice)

then in that case probably the 1st gen rx7 seems right up your alley, but why do you need a wide body?

i dont need it really but i love working with metal and i love the look of wode body kits (especially the ones for the datsun 510's, boxy and race inspired) also allows me to run wider rims and tires which is great for grip.

my only concern with the rx7 is the rotary engine (i drive in a bit of stop and go traffic so the rotary wont be nice to drive in that) also isnt the rx7 insurence prices fairly high?


also it just neat to have a small import racer to fly around town in.

actually i never thought of the 510, if you could thats awsome, and if you dont want rotary i think miata might be a great car to drive around, then take to the track every weekend or so.

Um datsun 510's are awsome you can do tons of different things to em put sr20 in it and you'll have a screamer if you dont mind a little mod-ing
