Default What Track Car for £2000

Two of my friends are going to chip in up to a grand each to get a track car for a bit of a laugh.

They don't want a big car. What would you advise and what are the good places to look etc

Cheers

Cheap 1.9 205 GTi.

Roll cage, two cheap bucket seats, harnesses, slicks.

Proper major grin factor!

205's are well cool and plenty fast enough for some great fun out on circuit

Don't forget though Spadge that a Forest spec car is NOT sorted for a track! not alot to whip it into shape I would imagine though. But why not buy a circuit prepared car already...

If there are a couple of you, maybe think about spending a little more a getting an Evo2 like Seans Strip it, decent brakes and you have a PROPER weapon

As per pm I take it he made contact with you as it isn't me? It's 2 of my friends.

He is usually online after work (7pm) and checks his mail then. I'm sure he will see it then. I would phone him to tell him but I'm not footing the bill being 5000 miles away

Car looks exactly what they are after

Cheers
Dave
