Right peeps,

I've had my current car (BMW E34 540i) for about 9 months now and I fancy a change!

I've stratched the v8 itch for now but I fancy a 4x4 car as I've never even driven one!!

So what should I get?

Saff?
Scooby?
Evo?
Liner?


I got about 5-6k to play with I guess.

Alex

 

Get a scooby for 3k, and just enjoy it for a while and flog it on before you feck it, cheap motoring.

 

For 5-6k your limited to a saff or a scooby really, or maybe an early lancer.

Or a R32GTST4 if you can find one (can get nice ones for 4k), then you got an active centre diff to play with, esp as a full controller for that diff only will cost you 150quid too

Pulsar GTIR would prob be my choice tho

 

Never like Sunny's.... too slow round corners (from my experience passing 2 round brands hatch!) And hear horrors about clutch replacement?!

Alex

 

Don't think they are slow around corners at all! ugly though...

 

hhhmmmmmmmmmm difficult one

actually.. get whatever one you want... job done

 

for that money buy a cheap scooby

 

I dont know what I want... lol

I want a quick mini... oh I got two of them

Scooby is in the lead...

Saffs are old....

Sunny's are well.. dunno might have to consider these!

Alex

 

Alex - Dad's got a Pulsar GTiR.

Quicker round corners than you'd think!

 

You'd get a nicely modded Pulsar for 6k at the moment.

 

Lada Niva

 

BOLLOX
M8 had one and that went round corners fooking fast

Can get a nice one for 6k now.

 

hmm had a look at a couple of GTiRs

Not bad cars for the money....

I think the ones I raced at Silverstone where being tested... I guess I kinda assumed they didnt handle !

Alex

 

Spend 4K on a Saff and spend the rest on beer

 

Had a stage 3 4x4 which I bought for £4700 and thought it was great but should have spent more and got a better/newer one as the bugger cost me nearly £2000 in the first 6 months of owning it and was fed up in less than a year and sold it.

Scoobies are great fun in all formats (I've driven WRX, STi, Terzo and am considering one as the next car) and you can get an STi for very little money now or a good WRX import 240-260bhp as standard within your budget, or possibly a cheap RA. You can really let them have it and they are really forgiving, they just kill tyres though. Having said that, have you ever seen a broken down Scooby on the road??!? I haven't

GTi-Rs are not crap round corners, but they are a bit small and ugly.

Not driven an Evo so no idea what they are like but you wouldn't get much of one for 5-6k and it would be an Evo 2/3 which are old looking and nowhere near as nice as the 4.

I've looked at Skylines and been in some bloody quick ones, but too many horror stories and limited number of people who can repair/maintain them properly.

Supra TT is another choice if you like GT cars but TTs start off at the fat end of your budget. Mega quick though and strong as an Ox. Stock block is capable of 500bhp plus on standard internals (another one I'm considering at the moment).

 

If you want a 4x4 then definately go for the Scoob IMO

 

i would go for the gti-r nippy little things, or as said above get a scooby then sell it before somthing happens and ive seen loads of scoobys broken down maybe coz they so common round here

 

i say a pulsar....thats only caus i have one

but then again.....iv had a few problems with it and there a rite cnut to work on

 

hi alex,its mark from miniturbo oc....get a subaru without a doubt mate. i just bought a wrx type ra from ebay for £4600 and its the best money ive ever spent...quicker than my previous skyline and 2 cossies up to 120mph and outhandles the pair of them....i bought it on ebay with buy it now and not viewing the car,but went on the pics and a 45 minute description on the phone by the owner who seemed a mature enthusiast.when i turned up to collect it,it was absolutely mint heres link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

mark

 

You need my Sapphire 4x4, £5000 and it's only done 22,000 on a new engine.

Mark

 

ok the saff is tempting.... but last time I looked at insurance it was loaded by and extra £800 compaired to a 540 or a 200sx....

Saffs are also a bit old...

GTiR or scooby I think are my choices....

MArk,

Which mark off TM?

I do like that RA you have

 

mark4765 from sussex ...i had the gunmetal colour turbo last year.

mark

 

arr I remember!

So the girlfriend has let you get another fun car?

 

she didnt have much choice lol

mark

 

lol!

SO whats the scooby like to drive?

Whats it like on juice?

Alex

 

Get a saf cossie.. spend £4,000.00 then spend the rest on power upgrades and take then scoobies apart.

 

Alex my m8 got a Nice Red scooby a 1999model and im not so keen on the inside

If your looking @ a saph talk Very nicely to Pete as he may part at the right money He keeps changing his mind tho
As you know his motor is VERY NICE (When CLEAN )
You know you want to get a saph
