M5

[J.E.K]

Ive just upgraded from a 225bhp ERST to a Mk1 Focus RS. After 5 years driving escorts, I can say I wont be going back, the focus is so much easier to live with. Its more power than the escort and really reliable.

You can get an average FRS for 7-8ish grand, just my opinion of course.

old m5, prob is it will be high mileage at that money.

Might be a bit old man for you aswell although im only 27.

Never a better car out there for that sort of money,

Just the age and mileage issue.

[scottyrs]

saph cossy lol

[NoRubNoDub]

Mk1 frs or st3 focus

[dingla rs]

mk 1 frs

[Lambchop]

Stretch the budget and get a focus RS. Mine is in the for sale section

[turbochild]

mk1 frs, a e46 m3 or an evo

Budget is 7k so we're stretching it at focus RS but you're having a laugh at the m3

[ranzrs]

well the m5 is abit of a old mans car at the mo 4 me im 23

mk1 focus rs really like them and seems the best choice but ive raced a few in my scooby and to be honest i just keep battering them ( dont think ive raced a overly modded 1) and there is no point me buying a slower car

and st's just not my cup of tea just (its a badge thing i suppose if i have a ford its gota be a rs)

saff cossy luv them but kinda old (similar to my escort in da way i dnt wna keep fixing it lol)

evo bit to much like a scooby to be fair

m3 yes but they are all over the place, but so far i suppose not a bad choice

yup bump into a focus rs thats had abit of boost up its arse and ull proper struggle with it.

[Glenn.]

i wish i could afford 2 mint cars like you when i was 23. I had a xr3i and that was it. Get a well looked after cossie mate. Mine has been ok for 3 years out of the 4n a half ive had it.

[Fordmad!]

Focus Rs or Saff Cossie

[ranzrs]

u know wot guys, for my budget i dont tink id get a very good focus rs ( but even if i did its not going to be faster than me scooby) but i would like a focus rs but it would have to be modded 1

saff is just abit too old like i said before,

at the moment m3 evo or scooby sti/p1 or if some how i ca get a modded focus rs around the 300bhp mark that would be gr8! but highly doubt ill be able to get 1 like dat

Wanna bet?! 260 bhp scooby versus my 250 bhp FRS. My car will win. No transmission losses like the scoob and a bit lighter i think. I know as i have dragged them on dual carriagway before

Not off the line obviously...

[Lambchop]

ps thats with dream science and exhaust which isnt reallt that much to ask for.

Not many are boggo standard as the reflash is so easy.

[ranzrs]

lambchop- lol calm down, and if u read my post u will c im only gna have 7k, so i cnt aford to mod it, i will jus abt be able 2 buy 1 mayb!

and ye on a str8z your right but come to a set of corners and the rs will get hammered

anyways focus rs as i said its a nice car but i doubt il be able to get 1 wich has been modded for my budget

I'm probably wasting my breath but i'll go anyway...you've clearly never seen a focus rs in action.

I'd gladly put it up against your impreza round any track you like. The focus is a very capable car!

NB i said your and not any impreza. any more horsepower and things may change.

[ranzrs]

ok mate, anyways thanks for your comments

[rsmat]

my old mk1 frs made 411bhp all the subaru`s and even a 400bhp evo 6..in the time i had it was all destroyed..from 3rd gear onwards.

[ranzrs]

i dont doubt it!

[ranzrs]

i wish i could afford to buy a modded focus rs, or atleast buy 1 then mod it but hopefully 1 day i will be able to, not at the mo

[rsmat]

anyhow if i had a spare 7k id like to get a old m3 or a nice 2wd saff.

[johnandhissaffy]

get a saph cossie rwd youll only need to spend 6 grand on one then 1000 to to play with

get a FRS or stick with your scooby and the old man in the M5 will Spank You!

ou could say a maserati is an old mans car, wouldnt stop me having one at 23.

What mods have you got to take your Impreza to 260bhp??

Since you mention an STi Impreza. You could buy my Impreza, with 338bhp, 6-speed box and quite a few other bits fitted... and have a decent lump of cash left over.


Cheers,
Grant

I agreede on a 50K standard looked mint hpi clear FRS for 7200

There was 110K M3 Manual with sat nav for 9K.

My first M5 was £7300. 100k MINT! with every extra other than heated seats.

so he isnt far off mate. RARE but you can find these cars

[gjh]

Buy a saph cossie 2wd of 4wd doesn't matter.
