M5

J.E.K · 28-07-2010, 07:39 PM

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 · 28-07-2010, 07:47 PM

saph cossy lol

NoRubNoDub · 28-07-2010, 07:49 PM

Mk1 frs or st3 focus

dingla rs · 28-07-2010, 08:13 PM

mk 1 frs

Lambchop · 28-07-2010, 08:28 PM

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

turbochild · 28-07-2010, 08:39 PM

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 · 28-07-2010, 10:08 PM

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

Glenny Boy · 29-07-2010, 07:21 AM

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! · 29-07-2010, 07:44 AM

Focus Rs or Saff Cossie

ranzrs · 29-07-2010, 09:21 AM

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 · 29-07-2010, 10:13 AM

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 · 29-07-2010, 05:36 PM

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 · 29-07-2010, 10:21 PM

ok mate, anyways thanks for your comments

rsmat · 29-07-2010, 10:32 PM

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 · 29-07-2010, 10:34 PM

i dont doubt it!

ranzrs · 29-07-2010, 10:35 PM

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 · 29-07-2010, 10:47 PM

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

johnandhissaffy · 30-07-2010, 12:26 AM

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

RS Grant · 30-07-2010, 07:21 AM

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

Guile1 · 01-08-2010, 06:00 PM

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
