GTI-6 or vec gsi
GTI-6 is a xsara VTS but cheaper, Vec GSI is a heavy mofo with poo fuel consumption lol. Im going test driving cars i think... I'll end up with a skoda octavia vrs
106 Rallye Phase 2 :thumb: alot better then a GTi

You`ll have some change to help fund the engine rebuild in a few more miles too lol :wtf:
forget about those french swear words lol.
i'd say veccy gsi (im picking mine up tomorrow hopefully lol)
or the skoda (basically VW)
Id say vec or skoda tbh mate, dont ffs get a clio though (thrust me i work for a renault mainstealers)
Keep the nova though i say, was looking at my mates fast car mag tonight and you can see the ass end of yours in one of the shots and your rear arch flare sticks out a mile lol (looks ace)
172 Clio's are awesome and pretty good on fuel, drove one for a while and was getting 35mpg up and down to sheffield.
Why not buy something slightly dinted and repair it yourself thus saving £££!

I was going to buy a Cat C but, i dont have time. I just want to be able to get into somthing drive it to work and thats it job done.
I'm doing 6days a week and then have the mrs to keep happy at the same time. If i got somthing nice and daily with the nova sat on my mums drive i can play with it when shes at work and im bored etc. I did this a while ago with the xsara and it turned into a track slag thing pmsl i just cannot be trusted with cars.
If i got the clio i would want to change the front seats straight away as they are too high, awesom cars tho pretty nippy and excellent on fuel. But i would then end up stripping it and getting pissed off with it for being too loud lol i just cant helpmyself.

If you can find me a decent 6G72T powered GTO for £2k, let me know!!
Maintenance is an uber-pain on them though, electric everything and its all crammed in there. 100% functional ones seem to be rare...
I want an early UK spec Mk2 with the 6speed box and a '99 facelift front end though :D

Dew to work being set back to a 4 day week on days were as it is a double day shift at the mo im thinking about letting my gsi estate go.
Loveley to drive not to bad on fuel for a big old girl.
I was thinking around the 2k mark also it was the car used in the press shots.

Stunning car Ernie.
i just this second got back in after picking my vectra GSi M.S.D Estate up. lovely cars tbh, goes very well for a big car, not too bad on petrol, used about £20 to get from bristol to plymouth (about 130miles)

rexy
if you dont buy that vec estate, i will come bum your head off!!
you know what to do
just thought, my cousin has a nice clean cheap mondeo st200 estate, on a 2000 plate. only wanting just over 1k i think it was... ill get info if u show any interest...

volvo s40 t4, comfy, fast, reliable n cheap
You dont need to lower them as the standard setup is spot on imho.
What size are std GSi wheels? 17"?
rexy

I take it you're not too keen on Vecs then? lol
Ill put a vote in for the Volvo's as well. I cant fault my 2.5, its just a lil bit thirsty. Ill probably be getting shot of it in a month or so cos im getting the Transit and the Viito back on the road :)
Vec GSi's are very nice cars TBH. Me & my Brother in Law managed to get his down to 8mpg when toe'ing it down the M4 though!
If you dont need the space of an estate, i wouldn't bother with one tbh.
And i have to say Clio 172s are a bargain buy atm. Seen some 51plate ones up for about £2200, quite quick etc, but there group 16/17 insurance, so might be quite a jump in cost over a 1l nova,Lol. And if you ever fancied a bit of track action, just strip it out for track, and then refit everything after.....

Vec GSi is 16E, whilst Clio 172 is 16D :p
Id go with the clio then lol
Will be much quicker
the 172's are awsome cars , handle really well , as quick as a xe nova all day but comfy and STD lol
Exactly
There quick and handle well FROM standard, which is always a good base to start with lol
went looking at one today and we was aked to leave, I think we upset the owner pmsl. I'd have a clio 172 all day tbh Insurance is £100 more than im paying for the nova, a gsi is £90 extra.
Dont forget im 26 pmsl.. .
why were you asked to leave?
cas i pointed out everything that was wrong with it and told him i'd give him £1700 for it it was up at about £2200 pmsl...
well that sounds fair to me
obvioulsy doesnt understand the concept of bartering
nah he saw his **** straight away pmsl. Was a proper ****ter to be honest.
Thats french cars for ya.

you can get a nice cally turbo for around £2200 now, and when you get another nova, oh look an engine lol
General Baxter
26-10-08, 12:02 PM
atleast im thinking a head lol
Yeah smoke about in it for a bit, then remore engine. Perfect plan.
I want a turbo.
nah,cantbe****d witha cally tub...lol
Sierra Sapphire Cosworth?
lookingatevo3,4or5 i think at the mo.
grrrr at space bars not working....
Did you drive the 172?
Opinion?
lookingatevo3,4or5 i think at the mo.
4 or 5 for £2k? Would that not be the cheaper end of the range...?
nah looking into selling the nova now as opposed to keeping it so i can get a better all round car.
So i can prob getaround 4k, providing it sells for £1500
If you sell the Nova, I give it 3 days before something is changed on whatever replaces it... like a respray lol
clio's drive very well mate, only problem i have is the seating is too high... But remeber thats just my opinion and my **** is to the floor when i get into the nova. They handle extremely well from standard guise and put the power down without any problems what so ever. This is from driving my mates clio, we didnt bother with the silver one as after the problems i found it was pointless taking it out.
The "whatever" will more than likly be changed mate, It totally depends on what i get. If i end up with a volvo s40 t4 i wont, If i get a vec gsi Again i prob wont. But if the nova goes and all the money goes into one car... I will prob end up playing with it as i have no toy when i get bored or the MRS is doing my head in.
Got a mate sellinh a 206 GT which has 18" toora's etc on it, real nice looking car.
He also has a 52plate Clio 172, ST24 lol
theres a nice impreza estate (wagon) not to far from you low miles
£1995 in john major grey and gold wheels not the best mpg but a lot of fun
lee
Fook me you can buy a wagon for less tha £1k
this is a turbo m reg looks mint
