Well...im throwing this out for ideas. Nothing to do having a rather bad hangover and the old mind got thinking. RWD, already had 3 s14a 200sx's all way to 300bhp and a skyline and e36 m3 are getting on now. Ideas ? has to be easy tuned, look good, other than that im open to ideas. Oh yeh...and with luck, a good factory alarm system.,:rolleyes:
 
not many of the things on your list bar POWAH and RWD but

sapphy cossy 2wd

but a nice one for3 1/2- 4k bank the rest for repairs :) and a cat1 alarm


tunable as you want :)
 
Personally, I dream of an Altezza, not 'easy' to tune though I spose. What about a supra?
 
Whats the point? Every time you get something good you sell it. Seriously, something like a 200SX is perfect yet you've already had 3? Why not just get a good one and hang onto it!
 
I have looked at an drove integra's too. But they wouldnt keep me entertained and im not one to run about everywhere flat out which is basically what i think integras are good for
 
Easily tuned, RWD, interesting enough to keep rather more than six minutes....something oldish and American?

Yeh, I've got a mk1 escort with rs 2000 running gear. its not mint but I bought it last year for £4,200.

you could get a mint one for £6-7 k.

I wouldnt get an original RS unless you have money to burn :p. Or find a cheap'un

Great fun :D Easy to maintain and cheap (ish) :D
 
Me again, with the blatantly obvious (getting tired of posting this, heh. Do bear with me!):

Corvette C4 - Get a good condition one for 4k, endless potential (as Callaway proved, 254.7mph), very rapid as standard, ferocious amounts of road presence, great noise, brilliant handling, capable brakes........Cheap parts, cheap tuning parts, respond well to all kinds of mods.....What more could you want. Dirt cheap to insure, to boot!

Comes with factory central locking and alarm/immobiliser, later ones have remote central locking and some have keyless entry.

Great interior too, like a steath bomber (the pre '89 ones) - a real sense of occasion and more when in one :)

Get an L98 engined one, a late auto or 6 speed manual, nothing kicks you in the back more than one of those tuned-port injection motors.

No boost, no bottle, just your foot on the throttle....

If you don't buy one, you're a nonce and a pansy :p




Oh, as an added bonus - gets an awful lot of attention, if you're into that kind of thing - on the motorways, parked up, wherever. First time I took it out I got surrounded in a small carpark (partially due to the noise) and then a very pretty lass gave me her parking stub as it had a few hours left on it :p Even outshines a lot of new metal!

Mm, targa panel comes out in the roof for those sunny days, too :)
