choices for a new Car..

[Rexy]

Okies Before lee moans about the french cars, they are well powered light and handle well from the factory.

Stepping away from the french scene pmsl suggest some 2.0l cars which are light, quick and handle well. From FACTORY i cant be arsed building anything.

No arguments please homo's Just a car and a little bit why its so good, I have 1500 - 2000Ish unless

Fire away Oh and i drive mine hard ;) so it has to be able to take a battering pmsl.

MK4 astra 1.8/2.0 SRi (forget the 2.2, yes its a great engine but tbh You'd shag one lol)

[Welsh Dan]

Its not a 2.0 but how about something like this (http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/BMW+3+SERIES/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-9-13-112-240-4294967201-4294967202/advert.action?R=200809304508040&distance=73&postcode=LL13+8BE&channel=CARS&make=BMW&model=3+SERIES&min_pr=1000&max_pr=2000&max_mileage=&vehicleYearOfManufacture=1997&vehicleRegLetter=P)? I was looking for 2L E30's but that looks like a nice car for the cash.

[Lee]

Youve had my suggestion ;)

[Jack]

Seat?

[dj_wudgey]

no way sorry to hear this dude!! but i supose its what happens whan you go french!!

yea i was thinking ibiza ive allways liked the old 2ltr 16valve gti. or possibley mk2 golf gti!!

[~~joycey~~]

Golf :D

[hc coupe]

306 RALLYE or the GTI-6, but the xsara VTS seems to be cheaper and less abused.

Edit: Re-read your thread, sorry its a french. My bad.

[nova_saloon]

fiat x1/9 there 1.5l 8v single over head cam, there only two seater, but you can whack a fiat uno turbo engine in them and there alot of fun :P. but otherwise, get a suburu or a golf

[Lee]

sorry its a french.

Sums it up nicely :)

[brainsnova]

Golf R32

[Jack]

Dare I say it... MX5? Ok so not 2.0, but light and quick and handle well.

How about a Prelude 2.2?

[L33 LEG]

CRX/Civic VTEC
VTS
maybe a 106 GTi for that price
206 GTi
a nova...

[Martin]

CRX 1.6 16v Vtrec b16a iirc.. good cars.. my mates used to be in vtec all the time loved a good hammering.. and was neck and neck with a willy until my mate hit the kerb lol

[Andy_L]

Golf R32

For 2.5K? :confused:

[nova_saloon]

find me a a Golf R32 for 2.5k and ill buy it :P

[Andy_L]

Cav Turbo gets my vote.

[General Lee]

Lancia Deta intergrale ftw, they just remind me of bigger nova's. Iv'e seen them go for nothing at all.

[L33 LEG]

what prices do they go for now? i remember being 17 and loving them but they were really expensive then and never looked at them since

[General Lee]

I've seen them go for £2500, but they range quite rapidly from that, auction is the best place tho.

[draper]

Cav Turbo gets my vote.

and mine, comfy quick cruiser FTW

[L33 LEG]

i might start looking around then. awesome cars! always worried about spare parts though :(

[Spudly]

Cav Turbo gets my vote.



And another vote here, or even a cav GSi as they cope pretty well with a track and obviously its an XE so its gonna take a kicking better than anything french and garlicy lol

[raymond]

so buy easthams rextonlol

[Adam]

Clio 172
Should get a ph1 for about 2grand.

And who cares if its French.

[Southie]

My suggestion is a G60 Corrado (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-G60_W0QQitemZ280303849378QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomo biles_UK?hash=item280303849378&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318) or Golf Gti.

[Mike]

what prices do they go for now? i remember being 17 and loving them but they were really expensive then and never looked at them since

That really is to cheap to be true TBH. They go for ITRO £8k!!!

EDIT: PMSL its the ****ty 8v version lol utter waste of time lol

BUT, a pair of Intergrale Doors ARE rarer then used Nova ones lol parts are mega uber super duper expensive too. And there delicate as funk belive it or not :thumb:

[General Baxter]

I was looking for 2L E30's but that looks like a nice car for the cash.

the 2L is very gutless, 2.5 straight 6 is where its at :thumb:

[Graeme]

Golf R32
How many r32's have you seen for sale for up to two grand?

[Rexy]

shame the civic ek9 Type r IS STILL GOING FOR 5K :(

[Mike]

How many r32's have you seen for sale for up to two grand?

Touche', i was offered one for £1800 as its owner was moving abroad 3 days from when he offered it me.

Right car, wrong time though :(

[Mike]

shame the civic ek9 Type r IS STILL GOING FOR 5K :(

You'll get an Evo 3 for £3k Rexton.

[Graeme]

Fair enough, still thought they were a big money car in an unabused state

[djshaggeh]

And there delicate as funk belive it or not :thumb:

Mine took the abuse - fair play it was the baby 1.6 16v turbo (hf). One of the wheels fell off after my tyres were changed whislt I was going round a rounderbout and I just popped it back on and it still drove perfectly. I even drove it around for a couple of months after a motorbike plowed into the side of it at 40+mph. The chassis was bent but its still took the abuse.

[Mike]

The baby ones mechanically will take whatever you throw at them, where as the big block 8v & HF's won't.

[Gibbo]

golf

[Ash]

Seat Leon Cupra's and Cupra R's can be picked up for £2.5 - £4k. Like a Golf GTI mk4, but more power, better handling and better looks. The 'R was tested on Seat's track in Spain for months on end, and when used in the Cupra Cup, that followed the touring cars, they were suprisingly standard! No coilovers, just stripped and caged, few tweeks here and there - immpressive stuff.

Have I sold you one yet? (If you hadn't guessed, I just purchased one)

The ibiza cupra is a fair shout to...

[Rexy]

anybody any gen on a dc2 teg type r?

[Riggy]

^^ stooo is your man for them lol

[Welsh Dan]

Use the search.

[Asa-James]

MG ZR? not checked, but ant be too much nowadays, and if the engines good enough for an elise, it'll do for a daily.

[Novaload_Nick]

mk3 astra gsi! cheap, comfortable, fast... vauxhall..

[Rick Draper]

mk3 astra gsi! cheap, comfortable, fast... vauxhall..

Try and find a good un-rotten one!

[Lauren]

I would say a Golf, or what about an FTO? They are Japanese, you can thrash it all you want. lol

[nova_saloon]

Lancia Deta intergrale ftw, they just remind me of bigger nova's. Iv'e seen them go for nothing at all.

only problem is insurance group is so high, but yeh always look like bigger nova's

[Spudly]

what about an FTO?



What you mean a F**king Totally Overrated lol


Theres loads of them round here and tbh a two litre doesnt warrant being a V6 imo, plus the fact that my mates almera 1.6SRi dusts them all day long makes them look even pooer haha!

[Adam]

Try and find a good un-rotten one!
Very true, there are good cars though.

A LET converted mk3 GSi would be a perfect all rounder imo, could be driven daily, but still plenty of poke if you want to 1/4mile & track it.....

[Rexy]

Clios going up for sale as spares or repairs shortly this week hopefully. If i can sell the engine loom and ecu i will break it if not i'll try and sell it as a whole.

[Spudly]

Bye bye willy.....


Or should that be limp dick lol

[Rexy]

Limp Dick indeed, soft ****ing cunty thing.... Couldnt even take a battering meh. Pussy.

[Spudly]

You mean he couldnt take a rexy`ing lmao, hey hang on, does this mean im not gonna get any flirtacious pm`s amymore then:cry:

[Rexy]

Sorry pal, you may get one or two when i get bored and think about the clio and remeber to be flirty with you pmsl

[Olly755]

Golf GTi 16v Mk2. Still wonderful.

[Dar]

Keep it French you homo and get a GTI-6

[Rexy]

[Asa-James]

[Spudly]

no looks like you wont mate :(

Sorry pal, you may get one or two when i get bored and think about the clio and remeber to be flirty with you pmsl

[robertdevlin69]

[Martin]

They'l be autos.. the Man's are pretty damn fast:thumb:

[Jack]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the auto was just as fast, if not faster than the manual (reason being the ECU knows exactly when to change gear) - auto Supras are spec'd as faster than manual ones.

They're still not as fast ast they should be though, 7.5 0-60 is pretty lame and thats the 197bhp MIVEC jobbies.

[dj_wudgey]

mk3 astra gsi! cheap, comfortable, fast... vauxhall..

i think this is a good choice aswell ive allways like them!!
