Deciding what to build next ?

[scottmasterton]

As the title says I'm already trying to work out what the next project will be even though the nova has a long way to go, Do we build a lotus elise/exige track monster but that would mean forking out around £5-6k just to start it or do we build a toyota mr2 Aw11 on a similar sort of route or should we go down the sideways route and build a unique drift car of some sort, so hard to decide, please help haha

Drift car ftw, if I hadn't spent so much in my nova I'd be selling up to get a drift car.

drifting/cars have got to be the most pointless motors in existence.
Build a race/rally car and compete properly.Sounds like you have the funds!

Drift Car is so tempting but have no idea what car I would start off, there seems to be nothing that appeals more than the rest

We have a wee bit of funds but thats purely from working hard, spent most of the day looking at lotus' but your looking at, at least £6k for an S1 Elise which is probably what we'll go for if we do a track monster unless we can find an S2 cheap which would be ideal but £6k is quite a lot of money to then take it apart and make it our own

Wherever its from is not the issue,i wouldn't pay for a drift car in washers Lol

Each to their own Andy, I find banger racing "pointless"

Back on topic, go with what you think will give you the most enjoyment mate.

[Andy]

I find banger racing pointless too mate.

[AndrewC]

What about a Westfield? Seriously considered that myself. You could pick up an unfinished project and with 16v power build a good track car with drifting possibilities too. Cheaper than Lotus and Caterham...

[jonn]

if i ever have enough money i want to build a c20let manta 400 rep, stripped out with cage and bucket seats.

[philip]

What sort of driving you want too do? Track, a roads, hillclimb etc. Use in any weather, n/a or fi?

lolz

Hard to say until you decide between drift or track

[scottmasterton]

Thats the problem though too greedy, want to have it all haha

[scottmasterton]

As much as I like westfields and caterhams theres something about them that puts me off

[philip]

Consider 4wd?

[8valve-craig]

If I was building another car it would be a KP61 Starlet hands down.

There's a KP62 on the bay at the moment which is incredibly tempting.

[tomfromdelmonte]

timeless classic?

ummmm ok

Wonder if anyone ever said that about an AE86?

[bazzap8389]

Wonder if anyone ever said that about an AE86?

If I ever decide to replace my gt4 that will be it's replacement. I was eying a 1jz engined one up went for too much though.

[philip]

200sx, besides maybe geo and tyres could track or drift?

[Shamish82]

Drift a maloo, That would be fun lol

[scottmasterton]

would love an AE86 but they are so pricey in the uk

[scottmasterton]

looks we're heading more in the way of the lotus, if only we could find one really cheap or something similar?

[philip]

Copart? Accident damaged one maybe. If not too fussed about cat c or d then it could work out a cheaper build or a vx220?

[8valve-craig]

You need to be a member to buy from copart.

[ocdstigy]

toyota aygo drift car

[LEWI007]

Pulsar GTIR?

[Andy]

Yep.Add in your membership,plus transport home and it isn't so cheap after all,unless you have a truck/trailer

[turbojolt]

cat you find a elise with a popped engine and go straight to the honda lump...loads of turbo kits for the hondas!

[8valve-craig]

Plus by the time you get the car it will have a lot more damage. They are not what I would call careful when it comes to moving them around on the forklift.

[scottmasterton]

we have an account but barely use it as things such as lotus' and vx220s rarely appear, we're now looking at cars similar to both such as a honda beat and smart roadsters but they arent quite the same

[scottmasterton]

Think we're going to try and build our own Masterton Motorsport Shortcar similar to this :)
