seriously thinkin of selling the cozzy soon as i just dont use it and want something quick that i can use everyday as am a bit bored of the diesel focus.

been thinkin of a clio 172 cup but would prefer something with a turbo.

seen a few nice ibiza cupra r for under 3k and ive always fancied one.

are they any good?

my mate has a standard leon cupra r and that thing seems really quick for 225bhp.

 

Yeah there nice cars mate I've had 2 ibiza turbo's and with a few mods they go pretty well.

 

yeah i seen your blue one at scotch corner once. looked a good piece of kit.

 

That one was insane lol so with i still had it for track days only. Had a black one with 230hp and that was nice and quick

 

yea there good cars. abit laggy though.

 

Go for a Octivia VRS insted!

 

Second that i love mine

 

My mate had an Ibiza cupra. Put an S3 turbo on it etc and it was running 270bhp. Very fast car

 

nice cars but two small as said go for a skoda vrs loved mine

 

Sell the cossie sell your focus and get an rs focus mk1.

 

glenn ive thought about doing that actually as they have become sort of affordable.

 

Yeah great cars mate!!!

 

Never seen the appeal in those focii,just dont do it for me I'm afraid.

What about an Audi s3?could be more like Ł4000 though?

 

Mate i havnt seen for a while came round mine at tea time, he's got a Leon Cupra R, only had a remap, decat, and induction kit, took it for a drive, and was pleasently surprised, goes very well

 

tbh mate ive had the 2 ibiza 20vt ive had 2 octavia vrs's lol oh and a leon cupra r 1st ibiza was 379hp 2nd was 230hp both octavia's were standard and leon cupra r was 360hp and a clio 172 cup which is on your thread also.

if i had to choose out of the cars listed above id have the clio 172 back first.

 

That's strange as they share the same platform/chassis! The only thing that is a bit bigger is the boot.

Go for the leon, has decent handling out of the box too

 

Audi S3..... its only a posh golf.

 

With much better handling than a MK4 Golf GTI, also the better BAM engine

 

nice cars imo. a mate has the ibiza cupra as well as a leon cupra. ibiza goes better, but i have to sya, ti feels a bit more tinny and less well built in general when compared to the leon.

 

dicko why would you have the 172 over the ibiza? surely they cant be as quick?
been offered a mk6 fiesta zetec with a 2.0 zetec turbo and some cash which am tempted with but dont know how reliable it would be.

 

tha would be quick. also consider havin a look at 182 sport.. 225magane sport..i my self would probably go for a tuned up ibiza 20v they look the bollocks and go nice or clio 182 nice small quick car

 

If you get a seat get yourself on the eibach website and order an anti role bar kit. it'll be the best mod you'll ever do! I've got a leon tdi which is modded from 130hp to 230hp and the only problem i've had is a brake light switch, thats in 6 years and the 81k i've put on it.

 

Baz have you drove a Clio Sport yet? Really fun cars. I always gave mine the death and it needed nothing. They are surprisingly good in fuel too.
Infact my mates just bought a new S3 and it's already up for sale as he misses his 182.
If I sold my Escort I'd defo buy another 172!

 

i was on about the octavia mate very very good cars and can pick nice ones up from 2k

 

Never drove a 172 Gary. Sat in one I was gonna buy last year but the dam thing wouldn't start haha. I really like the look of the cup sport ones.

 

I was talking about the Octavia too mate

The Golf mk4 platform was used by many cars

Audi A3
Seat Leon
Skoda Octavia
VW Bora
VW Beetle

probably forgot some lol

 

yea so the ibza is based on a polo

 

my mate has one running a t38 awesome car and sounds the bollocks
