Hello. Ok, I have an AX 1.1i Memphis as my run around until I buy summat bigger, I was thinking about turning it into a cheapo trackday car.
The chassis and body work is in good condition, no rust and never been bent up.
Obviously in body rolls like a Sumo wrestler and brakes like a tanker and the handling is frightning in the wet when pushed - goes straight on! Which is nice.
The engine is a screamer for a 1.1i and has done 60k all serviced.
Now is it worth getting a AX GT and transposing the engine/running gear/brakes and what ever else I can onto this? Or would I be better tweaking whats in place? I plan to do this over the winter and have drive space and can do the work myself so what do you lot reckon?
Ideally Id like to end up with something that I can hoon round Knockhill and enjoy, not fussed about huge speed, rather have a sweet handling motor that I can really push on with.
Ideas on the back of a plain brown reply please
