Actual cost of building a valver?

[Anonymous]

Ok i'm looking at building a valver on the cheap for track days.

My estimates so far are:

?500 for Nova GTE (chassis slightly stronger)
?4-500 for Engine
?300 for suspension
?2000 phone bill to Ste LOL

What other bits will i need and what are the costs?

You missed the brakes and it cost me a shit load more to do mine. Because you always want to change things:D

brakes good point.

This is just for starters. I probably will add to it as i go along.

But my 1.4 sr is getting turned into a cruising car which will kill the handling. so i need a go-kart for track days.

As you can see cost will depend a lot on the spec of the project car and how much you can do yourself to save costs these prices are just to give you an idea, some of the budget things could be left out to save cost but you will probably be sacrificing handling etc.
