Here is what I used for my intial race set-up; 7/8 front sway bar 5/8 rear bar, 240Z springs with one coil cut out , lowerine blocks in back , Monroe gas shocks and strut inserts. Brake pad were Repco metal master. Engine was stock GX with exception of header and 2 inch exhaust. Bolt in rollcage. Total was $1800 dollars US including price of the car. Included in that was $125 for a used fuel cell and $200 for a new Halon Fire system.
I think this is about as budget as it gets.
