Hi all,

I have been wanting to start a budget track car build for a while now. I have an AU XR8 that I was planning to use but I am not sure I can bring myself to stripping it.

My parents are getting rid of their EL Gli 4.0 which is a great car with a lot of good equipment in it. It was the car I learnt to drive in too which is a cool bonus. It is a GLi so it's light and has a live axle so big weight advantage.

This way I can keep the XR8 as a street car which I think it a better option.

The car is an auto but manual conversions can be had cheaply these days.

Just keen on hearing from others that have run ELs or other E Series as club track cars.

I know that they are very reliable. I was at Winton in my daily the other day and saw an EL and AU there.

Anyway any thoughts would be great on how they run, brakes etc.

Thanks.

Jason.
