Would the Honda Civic be a good option for a left of centre track car

im not talking type R here im thinking EG shape , thats the small light model usually seen sporting neons an rubbish bodykits , the 1.6 VTEc engine pushes out 130-ish BHP

so it would be quite potent

or would it be better going with a Saxo/205 type of vehicle ?

superb could be thrashed all day and will not let you down

a friend of mine has a VTi with an LSD box and goos shocks and springs, spoon n1 exhaust, S200 ecu and it is a mega little car.

Stu.750

how do they handle though , are they independant all round or beam at the back

Alps Pacino

get a crx i-vt

Stu.750

They arnt really cheap enough people seem to have cottened onto there potential , but the EG/K Civics can still be sensible money

Alps Pacino

there are a few on ebay at the mo for about 1k 1500 ish

AlexF

Sounds like an ideal car to me

Stu.750

Ah im even tighter than that , you can pick up VTR/S saxoes now for 600-700

AlexF

that would be my choice if I was starting again.

Alps Pacino

i dont believe you can pick up a saxo vts for 700 that will be anything short of a wreck

Stu.750

decisions decisions , already got a MK2 golf 16v but thats being prepped for the MK2 golf challenge so i need my hit before next season , oh itll be my daily too

Damaged repairables are going for that - not scared of a bit of hard work or it looking like a shed

Alps Pacino

ye exactly damaged repairables lol you pay 700 for a damaged car then the money t fix it which could be the same again so its not really a 700 car anymore is it lol

Stu.750

True enough - depends on whats damaged , dont really fancy a 205 , too common and most are getting VERY crusty

Alps Pacino

if i wanted a cheap track car i would be looking for a 325 bmw e30 shape maybe?

Stu.750

i know this may get me jumped upon , but im a big fan of front wheel drive cars , the E30 BMW would be a nice start for a budget drifter , i like my cars small for some reason

double wishbones all round iirc - you don't get much better than that not that it matters really
