something for the weekend sir

[turbojolt]

looking at cars priced up to and around 1000/1300 quid to have some fun with, don't care about mpg etc as this will just be something to have fun with on the weekends and boring nights

328
mx5 etc....



what do you suggest doesn't have to be rwd but I would prefer it as my old mx5 was one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever owned!



charbs :edd:

[conza123]

Driven a few custermers mx5s hard at work and for you pay for they are wicked little cars so go with what u know :)

[turbojolt]

im tempted but at the same time its always nice to try something new

[paul james]

Watch out for rust on a mk1 mx5!

MR2?

[turbojolt]

yer mine failed its mot on rot on a inner arch should of just paid to have it welded tbh

mr2 I will keep a eye out cheers

[Iain]

BMW E36. You'll have a right laugh

[turbojolt]

i do like the look of e36 beemers especially the coupes

[NovalutionGSi]

Never really a fan of the E36.... Why not go a bit more old skool with the E30.

[Iain]

Harder to find a decent example, which means he'll buy a crap one in the dark and lose his rag with it 3 months later lol

and ideal if you go back to gardening

[mowgli]

wow... they made a ford p100 look even worse than it already was......

[therealnovaboy]

what about a renault clio 172. not my choice but you cant argue the bang per buck

[Southie]

Just get the nova running, weld it up and have some fun in it. Even if your welding is crap but is strong and passes an mot then you'll be fine.

[EwanG]

Rx8?

[Stuart]

Rx8?

A£1k rx8 will probably need a £3k rebuild lmao

Few years ago I bought my mum a mk1 mr2, used to find myself taking it out quite alot. Good fun little car for not much money.

[paddy235]

Phase 1 clio 172 I'd think about

[Scottcooper85]

Not a fan at all myself but you can usually pick Mitsubishi fto's up quite cheap and mk3 golf gti's

[Iain]

Curveball.... Vespa?

[paddy235]

Them 2 are surely terrible cars

[Scottcooper85]

Them 2 are surely terrible cars

I did say I wasn't a fan at all lol just throwing them out there. On a £1-1300 budget it's going to be a struggle finding something fun, nice to look at and reliable. Tbh.
if it was me looking I'd be looking at xe corsa b's if it was for fun.

[staggy_gsi]

Get an E36 328 to smash about. I paid £325 for my last one and loved it.....apart from when the drivers door refused to close and I had to drive home with some string holding it lol

[turbojolt]

fiat coupe turbo????

Fiat die hards have warned me off them. Altho i do like the look of them

[ellis_12345]

Impreza turbo?

[EwanG]

Yeh. A mate of mine bought one for 1500 kicked the crap out of it for a year then sold it for 1500!

[stuarty]

If you like fixing gearbox's the impreza,s the one to go for
Have you ever considered two wheels great fun in the summer!!

[turbojolt]

two wheels are for gays.

[Andy]

[turbojolt]

[Iain]

[Scottcooper85]

[Andy]

[Iain]

not a compact. 318 is 140hp!

[BRoadGhost]

At least the child gets a proper seat

[novadave24]

that will be 2.0 and will have 4 cylinders I had a e46 318ci and it was only 4 cylinder they are good for normal driving but ant got a lot for drifting looks good mate :)

[turbojolt]

they are 1900's as far as im aware, it might not drift but it will skid ;)

[novadave24]

it will skid yes and it will drift but you will have to give it a bit for it to happen I bet you will be praying for rain now lol I did the night me and my mate picked up my e46 ;)

[turbojolt]

**** the rain I will just fairy liquid up the rear tyres lol

[novadave24]

lol yeah can do or use chip fat oil smells better lol

[turbojolt]

got a chippy across the road aswell lol

[novadave24]

That's it :)

[turbojolt]

picked it up today drives spot on, very happy with it a lot quicker then I expected tbh from 50/60 to loose your licence speeds are impressive!

feels really tight unbelievably quite when cruising at 70mph and around town speeds its quitter then a quite thing from a quite place.

needs a new exhaust its rattling and blowing like crazy but its still a mega bargain at 410 quid

[mowgli]

its a slick motor.. i saw it this evening.

well the rear tyres now are anyway....lol

[turbojolt]

and nova dave said it wouldn't drift pfffthhhh lol

[novadave24]

drifting already lol and maybe that might be easy to drift might be lighter then a e46 :)

[turbojolt]

suppose to be over 150kgs lighter

[novadave24]

are you going to weld the diff ? :)
