littleknocks · 22-11-2009, 11:48 AM

What would you have for £10k?

E46 M3? big power 200sx? 3 door?

or build yourself something a bit more special?

Herbo747 · 22-11-2009, 01:20 PM

you can build yourself a nice rs turbo cossie powered car with that which may be deemed special! big power zetec turbo? depends on if you want something reliable.

littleknocks · 22-11-2009, 01:57 PM

erm 8 miles a day for work. the rest is fun.

Dont want anything as big as an M5.

Just something good to drive and relatively quick.

Barry R · 22-11-2009, 02:19 PM

Yeh seen that, looks stunning

Also noticed the black evo that Rick linked ^^ also very nice.

Im not buying for a while so bit gutted 2 nice cars come up before I can afford them

xr2i-carl · 22-11-2009, 02:36 PM

Out of the three you listed. E46 M3.

MikeR · 22-11-2009, 02:39 PM

A nice Evo 6 would be my buy

Mike

RS Grant · 22-11-2009, 03:05 PM

Honda S2000 would be fun... then when you get bored, take it to TTS and supercharge it so it goes SERIOUSLY fast.

Cheers,
Grant

Ad4m RST · 22-11-2009, 03:06 PM

+1 6 GSR is first thing that came to mind, but M5 always an option as said. Personally though has to be a 3dr...

I like the sound of that! got any more info on it?

Just reading Andrewg's connect build and that had me thinking, I think one could be built for £10k?

Stage 1

Stage 2

Stage 3

IIRC, the guy at TTS has been running 11-second 1/4 miles in his car.. and he hasn't had any engine work etc done as the S2000 comes with forged internals as standard.

Grant

m4tt274 · 22-11-2009, 04:08 PM

ther is alot of choice at 10grand. but it depends what u want. if ur not botherd about deppreciation and u dont wanna stand out get an evo like that one in the link.
if u want to go seriously quick and stand out i would get an rx7 or a r32 gtr
if ur into old fords get a decent mk1 mexico.
i would have thought u would need reliablity if your going to drive it to work tho.
so i would probably be swayed towards an evo, or a supra or a golf r32

rstdave · 22-11-2009, 04:36 PM

Mk1 focus RS would be on the shortlist if it were me.....get out and drive a few that you like and see what you think afterwards?!

benporter · 22-11-2009, 05:16 PM

E46 m3 anyday for me

Agreed

RS Grant · 22-11-2009, 05:48 PM

If you could get a decent E46 M3 for 10k then I'd agree.. but surely you cant get a decent mileage, decent history, decent condition E46 M3 for that money yet?! I havent looked for a while, but to get something reasonable, it used to be up around 14k a wee while ago.

A MK1 FRS would also be on my things to consider.

Cheers,
Grant

Red16 · 22-11-2009, 06:04 PM

I'm just about to start building one of these, it'll set you back just over 10k all in to build it to this standard.

Mac Motorsport Worx

It uses a 2009 ZX10r engine 187bhp and weighs in at 435kg

Geared to around 120mph so pulls well through the gears

when you get bored a turbo conversion will increase your enjoyment
