What are you after from the car?
How old are you as insurance may play a big part?

AX with a 2.0 turbo.

corsa or nova red top, build yourself for that price if you know engines, buy a clean nova/corsa and then buy a cav and swap engine

or get a vauxhall saxo vts, or a honda saxo vts, or if they are both out your range, maybe a ford saxo vts

what about a bike?

you realise that every member on here is contracted to say some kind of saxo...

corsa/nova red top would smash your mate lol

tbh

things like you saying wanting to smash your mates motor

i understand where your coming from but it will cost you dear if your caught

im learning the harsh way and probably going to have to buy another car for a while because a VTS will be silly to insure again (still insured atm)

1.8 Escorts are slow... A VTS would actually rape it into submission. A VTR with bolt on mods would leave one.

looking back to my idiot days in the VTR and VTS

my VTR raped a escort gti 1.8 3dr

the VTS would just make it look like a ford fiesta 1.1

it'l cost you your liensce if your caught

Yh cheerz for the advice on the speeding!

I like to think tht im not a total dick driving, nd i only go for it in the places tht r safe...ish, nd less likely to get caught

and about the moped no claims yh i did coz i changed my insurance from e-bike to e-car worked great for me :D

another thought tho astra gsi???

Pat_Vts
3rd November 2008, 21:33
i thought i was ''safe''

never can be 100%

never doing it again

roll on mods to the VTS though while its off the road :P going to be cammed and have fiberglass bonnet, OZ superleggas, and buckets and maybe more lil bobs there and there...

look at it postive, just hope you dont get caught tbh

Get a fiat couple if you want a rapid but cheap car to buy.

220bhp for £1500 ftw.

I'd buy a Mk3 Supra Turbo for cheap speed thrills, pull both (yes... 2x) cats out and peg the wastegate, hello 300 bhp.

Or a Golf VR6, might be underpowered for the size of the engine, but they are a lovely engine to use. But yeah, Mk3s look a bit poop.

get a starlet mate! ive had 3 of the mighty banzai wagons and i love em, not as much as Saxo's obviously... ;) But I think you'd be hard pressed to find a decent one for £1500...
