I am looking for a track car for under 1k. I have seen a few with loads of work already done which is cool. I am starting to drift towards mk3 fiesta's. Really looking for advice, direction or sellers.

 

mk2 16v golf is your best bet, or a really clean 205 gti, either 1.6 or 1.9 both are good fun, ideally buy one that's been prepared for the track and had some use so that its ready to go. Dont even bother with a crappy Fiesta for the track.

 

since this is a ford forum...

fookin bargain this car has it all, quick too. theres loads m8 just look through them all im sure u and other people will find cheap track cars on here
http://www.racecarsdirect.com/cars/d...d=14583&cat=13 another around your budget

 

No??? they're that crappy that a number of people on here happily use Fiestas on track?!

Good luck with your seach for one, they are out there, just gotta keep your eyes peeled, I got mine for under your budget

 

He's right...there are loads better cars then the fezza for that money lol

 

Believe me I've used many different cars on the track and if its a £1k budget then forget the Fezza, nothing against them, but for £/fun on the track there are better choices.

£1k - pug or golf gti
£2k - lightly modified Nissan 200 sx S13 or for fwd Pug 106 rallye/xsi
£3k - BMW 3 series 6 cykiner with an lsd or Pug GTi 6 / Rallye
£5k plus loads of choice its up to what you prefer really

Best advice is buy one that already been pre'd for track use as you never get that money back if you start from scratch.

Good luck, Get out there and have some fun !

might be a tad over your budget but its an awesome car. its blue and its got xtrac gearbox. saw it in trc a while back. oh and its only rolling shell.

 

205 gti for me mate, everyday of the week, cheap and plentiful, handling's really good straight out of the box too, engine is strong provided its not got mega miles, and the bits are cheap. 1.9's the best bet, if a little more pricey than a 16, best case scenario would be a 19 non sunroof, but chances of finding one are slim!

 

We are doing a MAESTRO will be around 280 bhp weighing 800 kilo with cage and suspension, wheels and fuel cell £2K

 

Nice Any pics mate? Is the engine a Tomcat Turbo?

 

there is a nissan silvia s12, rwd over 200bhp on www.migweb.co.uk for sale at the mo, for 1k or offers, good fun cars!!!

 

it depends on what you like really. turbo-v6-v8-8v-16v etc...

£1k - golf gti :blonde: ,fiesta rst ,escort rst ,pug gti etc..
£2k - 325is,405 mi16,calibra turbo ,astra gsi etc...(all totally crap in my opinion but its up 2 u?)
£3k -saph cossie ,m5,300sx,pulsar etc.
£5k- what you prefer really,any thing you want for the price.

i would get a rwd saph cossie or get something turbo and rwd-i love fords though so i cant say s**te!

 

Id stick by with an XR2 track car buy one for £400 leaves you £600 for suspension, brake, ect

 

I agree with stu Iam looking for an RS 2000 tho they are about

I have a Nova sport weighs 700kg only 1300 so looking for more power I think I can build one for less than 1500 that includes about 600 for a car trust me they are about
