Sounds to me like you should just stick with your E30 for a while. Address the safety items first (seat, harness, bar/cage), then buy some NT01 tires or similar and make suspension improvements as needed. If you aren't doing wheel to wheel racing there is no need to completely gut the car. Most of the cars at the average Speedventures (or similar) track day are driven to the track, only about 25% are trailered.

944Spec is fun if you are racing but not the best or most fun platform for DE. 914's are cool too but very old and may be more expensive to run. Boxster parts can be expensive and they have many weaknesses (trans, engine, uprights) so not a good choice on a tight budget. Cayman is a great car but most recommend some cooling and oiling issues address before a lot of tracking. Miata is always and option, cheap and cheerful, lots of good local resources and series to run.

POC is racing at Cal Speedway next month and there will be Boxsters, Caymans, 944's, and 914's out there. You should check it out and talk to some of the drivers about their cars.
