right im wanting to build a road legal trackcar 4k budget want something small with fast N/A engine that i can strip and cage,lexam windows and bucket seats and harnesses,ect....got a few cars in my head but really cant decide.

• corsa redtop
• saxo vts
• pug 205 gti
• mk4 fiesta
• renault clio

dont know whats guna be best for me..my mate has a corsa 2Lredtop which sounds nice and goes well....

any idea`s guys/gals???

 

MK5 fiesta ZS?

not all that quick but handling is perfect!

106gti or Citreon AX with vts/106 engine?

ax to ugly and dated for me tbh mate...fiesta sounds ok tho.

 

I know it's slightly over budget and already built but what about something like this?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1562489.htm

or this one slightly more expensive but looks a bit better imo

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1436122.htm

 

106 or 306 Rallye IMO...

Ł4k gives you at least Ł2500 to tune with on either, 306 cheaper as a rule now though.

 

106gti then strip & tune it.

 

106 Rallye is lighter anyway and the 16v drops straight in, can buy loads now already converted...

Oh fook yesss....

Clio 1.8 16v Ł400, would leave plenty of budget left to spend on tuning/upgrading/cage etc

nice wee car

really like that too

 

The AX may well be ugly but fuck the looks off and its gonna be a little nippy car.

Power to weight will be a good ration

How bout a Pulsar GtiR?

Thats a belta for the money!

 

^^^ Until the gearbox & turbo blow up

Budget bye bye...

 

Civic VTi?

This one even has an integra engine in it and some spangly hoops: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1569426.htm

 

some good carsthere guys really fancy the 106 tho but really defeating the object as i want to build my own.

 

106 would be my choice

 

I'm not usually a fan of french tat but that is proper!!

 

gota admit it does look very well but i want to build 1 myself.

 

renault 5 gt turbo

 

Don't blame you, but there's easily Ł6k gone into that 106. Anything you spent on it over time would make it a proper weapon...

That would harass ANYTHING on track


If you really want a build I'd try a 205 GTi6 conversion... Spiky on here has done one, 167hp standard those XUJ engines and with a nice budget there are supercharger kits the 306 boys use, 350-400hp for most of them.

 

got to be N/A mate

 

I still maintain the AX with gti engine will give anything a run for its money

Action speak louder than words

 

i'd be looking at 3

-106 rallye ph2 with a gti engine (circa 2k and another 2 to prep with cage brakes, cams etc)

-306 rallye as above saw a cracker on PH the other week white with buckets and wheels for 2,800

-205 witha gti6 fitted as above cage buckets suspension shoul;d be a nice one for 4k.

Crowds.

 

205 gti6, williams clio, swift gti

 

very nice motor

 

Cheers for the votes, knew I made good suggestions

 

maybe renault 172.

 

dont make me fall out with you..

 

my heads going mad i dont know what to buy.....

 

I just bought one for just under a grand
so your have alot to play with

 

106 or 205 gets my vote

 

i know you just mentioned a 172

 

fook off!!!....

 

maybe unfinished locost kitcar if you really fancy the building/tinkering side of life.

could do it for 4k i think if your doing all your own work.
failing that any french hothatch will do the job

 

im thinking towards the clio 172 or saxo tbh.

 

e36 m3 280bhp lsd rwd what more do you need

 

As said above, pug 106 205 0r 306 gti6 or rallye, I go for the 306, as you could leave the engine alone and just play with the susp, good spring and damper kit, soild top mounts, roller bearing wishbones, strut braces and a few other thing, my best mate has a gti6 and done a all this thing and more, and just setting the car up now on throttle bodys. his handle like one of the old BTCC 306 flat all the way through the bends, scares the shit out of me, I can happy take a bend a 60 in the rst and he can go though the same bended at like 90.
