Umm, yeah, thanks
#166
Its not intended as the basis for some project, its just to buy, abuse, crash, replace, and not lose much cash doing so!
Its for trackdays, not the internet

MK4 Supra non-turbo
Sure, at Ł1500 there won't be many options, but I've seen plenty around Ł2k, and a nice manual for sale not long back at Ł1800. And there's always room for a bit of haggling with advertised prices...
Should be solid and reliable, no turbo to worry about, should be a decent enough spec to shed as much weight as possible from and then get it on the track
220BHP, RWD etc etc

Not a bad suggestion though, they actually corner fairly well.
#173
however, i could easy find a 'bulletproof' s13 for Ł1500, peice of piss
I bought 2 for Ł900 and they never missed a beat and i sold them both for almost double !!!

Based on the other thread, if comedy is required then I think we should paint "desert shower" (not really quick enough to qualify as a storm) and "toilet systerns" on it
#175
Did you rag the shit out of them for an entire day at a time at a racetrack, continually swapping drivers and going straight back out, only stopping to refuel them then back on with the mayhem?

If not a BMW how about an Audi A4 of some variation. Ain't too clued up about audi range of engine but quick look on pistonheads suggests 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8 and, dare I say it, the 1.8T. In your price range as well.
Shit....are audis FWD???

on a serious note, ANY car for Ł1500 that is seriously abused on a track is not really gonna be bullet proof is it ?

Sure that could be had under budget, plus should recoup a bit of cash selling some of the unwanted bits
325i's are cheaper, but if it were me, I'd have to go for the 328i

Bushes etc will of course have a had time though, and I dare say all the wheel bearings will need doing relatively quickly etc.

Rich has just shelled out on a new turbo, so will need a month or two for his funds to recover anyway I think, lol
No rush, dont need it till end of december as unlikely to do any other trackdays before then anyway
