Yeah trust me, part way through I did consider a V8, but was already committed to the CA18. Next time will be a V8 though, as I do love the sound. Apparently headers and software make the 6L Luminas good for 400hp.
Plans for the CA are autocross, trackdays, and something like time attack if that gets going locally. I'd like to try a bit of drift, but I think I prefer grip driving.
Richards Bay oval track is still going, next event is a club event on the 29th of may as far as I know. It looks driftable, but I haven't been around it myself.
As to ordering bits, I've been doing that myself over the internet, a couple of orders from FRSport in the US, a couple bits from guys here off the forum.
I initially emailed Import parts, NXgen and a couple of other local places to enquire about parts and pricing. Only got a reply from Importparts, and as I got no info on pricing from him decided to rather bring stuff in myself from shops where I could see the exact pricing including shipping before I decide to buy.

oh ja.. and fyi.. i finally managed to get hold of the Richards bay Oval people.. apparently they've held drift events there before.. but then the okes who used to drift there all had a fallout with each other and now no-one goes...?? well thats the story they gave me any how, sounds bizare though.
but they reckon Friday nights and Sundays are open for practice no entrance fees, but all safety equip has to be at hand - helmets- fire extinguishers etc ... sounds good to me. Will be coming up next weekend to investigate first hand.
