[VTR-Chris]

as much as i love the type R

am gettin bored of it now, use to the power, i need summit faster

gettin 6,000 in a lump sum soon, could probs get around 7k for the civic

so what would u get with a budget of 13k , has to be quicker than the civic :panic:

[djflipsaxo]

evo9 all the way baby!

[VTR-Chris]

could i get 1 in that budget tho???

ive seen plenty of 8s but no 9s

[djflipsaxo]

yeah seen some in the local mits garage 14k or abouts
edit, maybe it was the 8?

[JoshB]

A saxo VTS and a turbo kit :zainy:

What sort of cars do you like? Can pick up a Porche 911 (996) for about that price, 10 years old mind.

[Davo106]

Twin Turbo Supra.

[andywiddss1]

evo 9 all the way

[xcore]

e46 m3 or e39 m5

theres no way on gods earth id ever drive french again lol

[Tony]

Quicker than a Type R will most probably mean higher running costs so bear that in mind when choosing.

S2K? Or is that too similar?

[JoshB]

Try and stretch your budget a little and you could pick up a Noble M12, theyre not French!

[tokyodrifte]

Twin Turbo Supra.

Doooooo it hahaa

[geordie_alex]

Import a tuned nissan S15 drift car??? stupidly quick good fun and look the nuts, really rare too.

first of the line 350z's are getting cheap these days too, V6 power and looks to die for!!

[Sparky26]

Mazda rx7 or a decent rx8 i would go for a supra but the running costs are epic they drink fuel!!

[wadoryu]

i'd get a 350z beautiful cars.

[TypeRDavid]

Ever considered Supercharger for the Civic ??;)

Pffff, the Porche is bullet broof, and you can easily get 20mpg on a good run! :P

Noble's just a Mondeo ST with two turbos bolted on, ford servicing costs! :zainy:


On a serious note, what does your current civic get MPG wise? The new one struggles to get over 25mpg.

'Pffff' I don't care if a Porsche is grenade proof, £1000 for new brakes isn't fun. Then there is insurance.

Plus he'd need his own petrol station for the Noble :D

Similar with the 350Z, I'd like one just not the fuel cost.

[savo]

Twin turbo supra all the way.
Clicky (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=38)
Check out the link...plenty of low milage, manual tt supras within your price range (with the possibility of a little spare change for mods :y:). A 626bhp topsecret widebody supra was sold on there for £16k...just to give an idea of what can be available.

[hard_corejoeboy]

Didn't think Z's were too bad on fuel?
I'd get a renaultsport megane perhaps an R26R

[Tony]

Well if the claimed is 24mpg then it could well be under 20. So it depends on your definition of 'too bad'.

Plus he said no French ;)

[Peter_D]

Pre-facelift DC5 and supercharge it

[BBM]

used M3?, decent Scooby or evo?, NSX?

[hard_corejoeboy]

New french cars aren't as flimsy as our saxo's lol

[Jaytee]

If it was my money. E39 M5 put an exhaust on it, sound system and then keep the change for rainy day/holiday whatever.

[Jaytee]

Or a cossie.

[hard_corejoeboy]

Get a 1.0 106 and go out on the piss every night for the next year lol

[VTR-Chris]

mines runnin approx 215bhp

i'd hardly say a car with just over 6 to 60 and close to 150 top end is slow

ive actually had mine to 156 :homme:



but we dont want another "vtec is wank" 20 pager do we


i think am gonna settle for a DC5 or an evo 8

[auds]

Evo 8 :p

[Nslade]

I've said it already, But i'll say it again
Nissan Skyline R34! :D

[CHIP]

Laughing how stupid you are, yeah I agree also LASS.

I really hope your 5 is fast because with how much you go on about it it needs to be. Or you'll look a right clown if SaxP ever got to see it in action lol.

[Lewis]

Skyline R33/34 GTR every day :P

[ollie-vt-]

if i had £13k, i would get either an rx7, supra or stretch the budget for a decent skyline r34 gtr :y:

dc5 ftw

[Giraffe]

Jenson don't be silly, why would anyone want to buy a bag of shit like a 5, might be fast, but that's all it is, not worth the money you pay.

As for 13k to spend on a car... might be able to grab an alright E30 M3 for that... although it's probably not the speed you want. Look at Delta Intergrales, ha.

[Mieran]

N/A is the expensive way of going slow ;)

It's closer to 7 secs to 60 than 6.

And as a performance upgrade to a Vts it doesn't warrent the extra money IMO. It's far better built and more comfy but not that fast.

I'm not atall a spaz who thinks the Vts is the fastest thing evah either. Far from it. But serious, I'm not impressed with the CTR.

Rare to find one in RHD I think, and even then I think they're quite pricey.

[Giraffe]

The M3 or the Intergrale or both? I'd just go LHD if that were the case... no biggie. I'm sure you can pick them up for that sort of money though.

[MikeyW]

They didn't make them RHD lol my uncle has a beat-up one in work which makes me cry everytime I see it !

how is 6.4 to 60 closer to 7 lol

mines more around the 6.0 mark, shitloads more torque with my mods

[stinkycheese]

Again, if it's so fast, why are you bored of it?

[Peter_D]

I am bored with the speed of the DC5, does that mean it isn't fast?

[Chr15]

Just rent a supercar for a few weeks.

[jonezy]

last time i was on piston heads the Fensport corrola was up for 13k. and that is quick

[Mieran]
