well it was a friday afternoon car. brought it brand new and was on the back of a recovery truck 6 weeks later because the gear linkage was knackered. After that most of the time i had it i was sat up the vauxhall dealership with more problems, engine managment light etc. The engine sounded like it was tapping, so it took it back to vauxhall and it was the pistons. the car was in the dealership more times than on the road.

My choice would be a Porsche 944 Turbo with MO30 Koni suspension, nice big brakes as standard, strip it out, pair of bucket seats and harnesess etc.

Can you get all that for £6K?

Like the cage mate did you get it from custom cages? Have you driven it on the H&R coilovers? I had the H&R Cup Kit on my old SE, Got to say it was one of the best handling cars I've driven

The car hasn't done more than drive 20 yards in and out of the workshop for the past 8 months. I know the coilovers will be good as I have followed a local car with the exact same set up at the ring and it is very good.

No idea, it goes to paint in the next couple of weeks, then the rebuild starts. Once that is done we will have a look at the running gear. I would like to think it will go over this year though for sure.

Should be able to if you look hard enough, I paid that for one 3 years ago, the bloke I bought it from was a bit of a plumb though!!
eBay.co.uk: 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo (MO30) (item 270131607450 end time 23-Jun-07 14:27:03 BST)
There are also another 2 or 3 on Autotrader less than 7k look out for the SE they are 250hp

The answer is: look what the regulars drive. Buy German is a good starting point. My recent carpark survey at the Nordschleife entrance revealed:
BMW 3 series - either E30 325/M3 or E46 M3 CSLs were everywhere. E36 models very thin on the ground.
Porsche 911 - any age, any model
VW Golf - mk2 GTi very popular, usually track prepped.
Peugeot GTi/Rallye - a few 205/106/306 knocking around.
Subaru Impreza - any age, any model
Mistubishi Lancer - Evo IV and later
And that was literally 90% of the car park. The remainder were a handful of Alfas, Clios, Skylines, Cossies, Ferraris and Audi diesels.
