New car suggestions??

[Danb1987]

Right iv got about 2k to spend on a new motor but I'm really unsure what to get.....

Either something modern and fairly quick.

Something retro??

Track car?

Atm I'm looking at a Moris minor 1380 single 45 webber cammed race ignition yada yada...

Suggestions please

[MattBrown]

So the nova turbo build is off?

I'd go for a z20let astra.

Cheap, fairly quick, but you may have to go towards £3k to get one.

just do what i did when i bought my last car, spent days and days trawling every single car for sale untill something i liked caught my eye

personnally id be looking at beemers or similar

[mowgli]

buy a 3 series...

[Jack]

I'd make a decision on what you want (as in the retro/modern/quick options) then go from there, otherwise you could just pick anything

What are the prices of GTi-6's like at the mo?

[Southie]

Fiat Coupe turbo

£2k can get you a surprisingly decent amount of car, it all depends what type of car you want and obviously insurance, etc.

A few of my recent cars have been around the £2k mark and that included a mr2 turbo which is probably the fastest car you could get at that price. 106GTi which was so easy to drive, looked fairly nice and was actually quite quick. LOADS of E36 beemers can be had for that, i would chose a 325 or 328, iv even seen a few M3s for not much more aswell.

Loads of cars out there, just check the forums.

Suppose if I was spending that Id go for a >97 Volvo 940 2.3HPT with an lsd.
Get a hooligan cam, an SS exhaust system, bush and lower it, turn the boost up and youll have a decent track, drift, luxo-dailly that you can thrash, move house in, camp in, drive through walls, and still have £500 left in your pocket for spending on sweets.

Thats just me though.
And im borderline retarded..

I sold my c20let last night so the turbo projects off atm

The mpg I'm gettin from the 1.2 nova is to good to ruin aswell so this is going to be my daily for the time being...

Fiat coupe turbos tickle my fancy but then you've got the unreliability of FIAT lol...

I'm just gonna keep looking and see what catches my eye!!

[draper]

turbo coupe was one of the fastest cars ive driven tbh, proper shaky leg syndrome when i pulled up

[Connor]

If it were me it would be either
E30 325i Sport

(In white ;) ) Astra GSI redtop

s14a

(Love these cars) Gt turbo starlet or Toyota Starlet Glanza V

(My wildcard lol) AX GT on Bike carbs

[VnoNovaD]

Snip snip

Ebay/PH links are in teh rulez ya'll

[bainyboy sr]

imprezza turbo all day for that money

[Connor]

Sorry Jack,
my bad

[draper]

imprezza turbo all day for that money


Never ! It would be an absolute dog at that price, its not cheap to repair one either when it goes wrong

Seen a few classic shape scoobies I've liked lately tho, having to pay for repairs on a £30k rally car puts me off tho

[bainyboy sr]

i had mine it had 160k on the clock and it was fine paid 1200 ran through 6 months of heavy footing it was fine

[ECO16V]

Astra coupe turbo, a lot of car for very little cash

[Pistol Pete]

^ Would be my choice too.

[ECO16V]

My mate had 1 only thing that would make the coupe turbo better is 4wd.
