Car for 24 Hours of LeMons - must be CHEAP

Me and some friends are thinking about doing a 24 Hours of LeMons race this year and need a car. The rules state that aside from safety items the total cost of the car must be $500 or less.

We’ll take anything as long as its cheap and is drivable. We prefer it to be a manual. Looking to get something for $300 or less, as things like a clutch, suspension bushings, etc all take away from our $500 limit. But if you have something ready to go for a little more, we’ll take a look.

Let me know what you have!

Its an endurance race, so focus on just having a well running car. When I did it, a honda civic base model and miata dominated everyone just because they were able to keep running.

Its an awesome time though- enjoy it!

Where is this race?

1990 honda civic dx ill let go for 500

Yea, thats the plan, have a car that will live though the beating. Thats why we want to have a little money left over after buying the car so we can do little things that’ll keep us moving.

Ummm… you already have a great car for LeMons.

Z cars are EXEMPT from the $500 budget:

Knew I should have kept that other Z shell, haha. And I’d rather not take the 280z. It will be a street car when its finished and having all that safety stuff (full cage, ignition shut off, fuel shut up, etc) would ruin that.

no help on the car end but can u send me a link to the rules etc… and where to sign up. thanks
