G'Day,
What are the Cappucinos like as a track-day car? I'm very much thinking of putting away some money for one to use as a track beast but to also be road registered.
I know the engines can do the numbers but how do the 'boxes hold and how stiff is the chassis given that it has no roof?
Feel free to give as much insight as possible.
Cheers.
P.S: If there's other cars I should consider then say so, but holy damn once you buy one Suzuki you can't seem to buy anything else!
Topic number two!
51/49 weight distribution + lightweight + RWD + turbo = happy sideways (but controllable) fun.
I'd say they'd make an awesome track car for a muckaround, but you'd need deep pockets for sustained competitive use to cover panels and parts.

F8B EFI turbo - Three pots and a snail.
Hmmmm deep pockets are three years away.
I suppose it's all a bit of a fantasy. I need to get my bloody car back on the road so I can enjoy it for once. Even that's a bit of a fantasy at present
If anyone Cappa owner in Brisbane wants to take me for a spin, speak up

15 year imports changed to pre '88 imports - It would be possible to import one for "track" use but it would NOT be registerable . as no one in australia has certification to compliance one (full compliance would be required)
I have come to the end of an era After 20 years of Kei cars It is time to move on - And almost time to leave this forum and say thanks to all who have assisted me .
Special thanks to Brayden

Do you have to be a perminant resident for that though?
EDIT: ...of Australia I mean. Could you be on holidays from Japan and import your car?

Like if an ex-pat bought a Cappa and had it for 12 months, then came on holidays to Australia and imported the car (and promptly sold it to me ).
