Once again i know this thread as well has been done to the death .

What else is out there ??

I am after something for the weekend, dont want the fuel costs of the scoob, dont want a Clio, well maybe & for the occasional track day

So any pointers peeps ??

Preferably something not more than 3 years old

Also something that would be available at a garage that does trade ins

 

leon cupra R....not as interesting as a clio to drive im sure but the best compromise hot hatch around especially for the money and when u think £400/£500 will have it running around 275 bhp...dare i say you may see of some scoobs

Civic Type R maybe

 

9500

its on my drive, next to my p1!

 

Seat LCR also.

You get all the goodies like 18's/4 pot brembos/recaros/climate etc and for £500 make it into 275bhp/300lbft spec.

Enough to see off a lot of scoobies especially being FWD ie low TX losses!

 

Why not a Clio?

 

CLio.
I was surprised how quick they were at recent Track day at Donnington.

 

Well, he obviously wants to spend more money on an inferior car, so let him

 

what about a lada.........

 

What's he going to spend the £12,999 change on?

I guess the Renault dealer could do something for him........

 

Save your self some money and get a Toyota Glanza Turbo.

 

he could spend the rest on optimax.......

them ladas going up in price you know.....

 

I need something i aint going to be lying under on a sunday

 

I think we all know the answer, don't we girls?

 

They are actually pretty reliable and with £13.5K budget you can afford to get the best example. They're around 900KG, 133bhp 0-60 6.9 secs, thats straight out of the factory. They're extremely tunable. Excellent examples can be imported, many highly modified (not max power stylee) as the Japanese seem to lavish their cars with quality mods. Here are few.

Lupo Gti if you want some thing small or a LCR if you want it bigger

 

Lupo is a right little devil.

What about a 106/306 GTI you'll save a bucket with that.

Anything else you'll be getting scoob level economy.

 

ek9 spoon civic type-r

should get a proper spoon for 13k, proper nutty car 10000rpm revlimit, 1.6 that makes 200odd bhp, virtually the same as the ep3 ctr,

bragging rights on the fact you will have a 1.6 16v non turbo that can hit sub 6 to sixty and handling to match,

its light too, fraction over a ton 1060kg i think maybe lighter, LSD as standard, carbon bonnet as std, uprated spoon brakes, different dash and seats and gearing , 5 spoke black advans gutless in terms of torque but high revving cars are always gonna lack torque.

if it proves difficult to find one a normal ek9 ctr will still do 0-60 in 5.8 lol has a lsd, 187bhp from a 1.6 is good going, thats before you add the nitrous LOL
round a track its pretty awesome

lol i gonna hunt for a spoon civic now :roll: lol

Bargain at only 5K. With the other 8K you have you could tune the thing, should be able to get 0-60 down to about 40 seconds ish Not bad for a car that weighs 3 tonnes

And lets face it, its going to be exclusive, no-one else on track is going to have one

Ignore all the suggestions so far and get yourself an Integra Type R DC5

You can get them for £13k now.

 

Was thinking about them tbh

 

DC5 everytime me thinks - still expensive to run / insure though.........

 

And not wife friendly either

Been trying to persuade the mrs to get a DC5, but shes intent on a VX220/Elise/S2000 type thing.

 

G/f doesnt have a choice , this is for ME

Just a sunday / track car

Got a new Saab coming soon to take the place of the C220 Cdi, so family purposes are taking care of

 

MAYBE YOU CAN PAY ME THE MONEY YOU OWE TO ME FOR THE LAST YEAR PLUS!!!
