It be like when I first got mine. Right wire wrap the wastegate shut, lets see how much boost it can make.

BOOM!!!

Bollocks I need another engine.

Stavros

And a 1500quid SX will not be that bulletproof or good at all.

Awesome base for a good car, not great for a budget car to abuse with hardly any mods.

An old turbo car?

Umm, yeah, thanks

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Indeed, SPOT ON!

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

Munch

just trying to help & i did not see you wanted an NA car....




just a shame your budget aint bigger, this looks cool lol!

Fucking Dash looks like it came out of a fucking frontera too pmsl

would have been ideal if racetracks didnt have corners

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

Jim Galbally

you think a N/A supra will make an awesome trackcar?

Mike C

iTrader: (1)

You won't get "awesome" for Ł1500, but why would it be any worse than a 325i/328i etc?

He's as good as said that forced induction is out of the question, so...

Chip

Parts costs for toyotas are a lot higher than for a bmw generally IME.

Not a bad suggestion though, they actually corner fairly well.

stonehavencossie

never noticed the non turbo bit

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 !!!

Chip

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

Chip

iTrader: (3)

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?

Mike C

iTrader: (1)

Easy to say that now, but people buying them are still going to fear the worst IMO. There are plenty of dogs amongst the good ones whichever way you look at it

Rab

Double your budget Chip and here's one already done! Shame it's hopelessly overpriced!!

Rab

Here's a bit of a better deal.

Saloon for Ł1200.

That grille makes me wanna cry!

(on the coupe)

Rab

With Chip's driving it would be an issue for long

Ginge !

chip if your looking for a cheep e36 325 i may know someone who wants rid of one that he never uses

650 quid and its got working aircon and leather seats

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???

pani_k

iTrader: (1)

think that's the least of his worries

Jim Galbally

sorry ginge we want a goodun

lead_foot

iTrader: (1)

None of them are RWD. so not really alot of help.

pani_k

iTrader: (1)

just realised after I posted.


Doh!

stonehavencossie

yes everyday, twice on sundays

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

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Lovely bit of kit, but WELL overpriced iMHO

Chip

iTrader: (3)

BMW straight 6 engines do just seem to take everything you can throw at them.

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

Ginge !

mines had LESS issues than your car and got less rust on it pmsl

aint bothered though as im about to collect it from work tonight and was planning to start using it again

Chip

iTrader: (3)

There are better ones than that on autotrader for under a grand.

Ginge !

chip what ever you get if you need things some things tell me as i got CHEEP contacts for discs, bearings ect ect ect

actually fuck it due to jims comment i might not

Chip

iTrader: (3)

ok, thanks ginge

Jim Galbally

ginge, your 325 is hardly a shining example of a minter now is it.
FBMWSH? FGSH

Rab

ah ok, I'm out of touch then!

IMO you're not going to do better for the money then, just go for one of them!

Chip

Dont know till we have bought one.

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

Jim Galbally

what about ME? i need a ofookin DECADE for my funds to recover
