i need help with buying a car..

[BongMong]

okay.. my saving is now complete..

right i have 6 points and a dd04 "dangerous driving ban"

i got my heart set on 2 cars.. but i dont know what to buy!

VX220 2.2 £3000 insurance
Nova GTE "c20let / big spec c20xe" £1500 insurance


i have a clio 1.1 8v as a daily,.. what you guys think? anybody selling a big spec Nova?

[craig green]

slight difference in cars, 1st is well balanced RWD drivers car, 2nd is an ageing hatchback which would only have its excess power in its favour.

VX220 for driving, Nova as an ongoing project/build. If you arent mechanically minded or have your own garage/tools I would avoid the Nova tbh.

[Jack]

I'm surprised the Nova is so much cheaper to insure than the VX, assuming the latter is standard?

[Stuart]

Get a clio 1*2.... all the 'fun' of a fast nova but built nearly properly and a better road car than the vx can ever hope to be

[BongMong]

i have never rebuilt a car engine, but i normaly fix everythin myself.. am good with tools and do have a garage..

my days with street racing are over.. but i still want the power to keep up with the s14's and bmw's all my mates drive.. i know a vx220 couldn't cope, but thats for pure looks.. its a tough call

[BongMong]

i miess read.. i was thinking 182 on throttle bodies.. but i heard the interia falls apart

[Stuart]

you think a vx220 looks nice? I think you need a trip to specsavers lol

But yes a 2.2 will be mullered by things like focus TDCI and Vectra CDTI's lol
