Hello folks

 

Was wondering if any of you guys know of a very quick car that is pritty cheap and reliable, i have looked at 106GTis and starlets but not to sure, just looking for something to have some fun in zooming about town etc.

 

cheers craig

Join the chavs and get a Sh1tron Crapso... they can be boosted to good power !

mk1 golf with a 1.8t conversion

 

you can pick sunny gtir's up for peanuts these days also

i dont quite fancy a saxo:L would rather a turbo tbh.

nissan pulsar:hyper:

loads of Corsa's with the 2.0 calibra engine in them (straight swap) which can be Turbo'd eaily but the without turbo you still looking at 150hp in a car weighing around 1tonne!

 

TT Zed power to weight is around 200hp per tonne!

 

Look on forums such as Migweb its done there all the time!

get a little civic vti, excellent fun and super reliable

I've just bought a metro gti mpi, 105bhp, 850 kg, 0-60 in about 8 seconds and does about 40ish mpg driving it quite hard day to day.

 

Insurance was only 30 quid a month for me with no no claims through http://www.bell.co.uk and it's an awesome little car. You can also stick the 1.8vvc straight in and get a 13 second car out of it if the power's not enough :D

id going for the honda civic range few options on engines all pretty good can all be played with to get more power, v tecs, turbo kits, or even nos and they all take it pretty well being honda, and the smaller civics seem to be everywhere and soooooooooooooooo cheap at the moment

you want a nissan march that is the ultimate sleeper car

i have a stock 1.8 civic i-vtec and its a cracking car - what it lacks in power it makes up for in drivability - i drive country roads to work and back in it (when the Z's broken) and i do a cracking countryside run to melton and back once a week or so, and i can corner at very high speeds - there's little roll, and the tyre's haven't slipped on me once! accelleration is half-hearted, but when holding it in gear at high revs it's very responsive.

Mk1 MR2. Very cheap to buy and run. Mid engineed, rear wheel drive. Not amazingly quick but it does'nt need to be, prob about the same as a small hothatch but they are sooooooo much more fun than any hothatch !!!!

 

Slap an induction kit on it and the sound alone from just behind your head gives you a constant grin.

 

Mk2's are pretty cheap these days, more modern and nicer to drive but no where near as much fun.

loads of cheap Glanza's kicking about easily boosted to 200+ Bhp in a car the size of a shoe
