What should I test drive so that I know what I want?

At least two seats, an engine that is almost right and almost good bodywork and toppings of a long distance collection and the 'word' of somebody he doesn't know. ;)

I can sell you a MINI? :p

What i know i want: Quick, handles well, looks good, sounds good.

What I'm not sure if I want: More than 2 seats...

Then it is broken, heavily modified, or both, and you drive like a complete bum. :D

e; You have a turbo kit, RX8 injectors, mapping, etc don't you? :p

I cant even really take the **** out of you either as i am a bit stuck on what i want to do next aswell, though i only mess my self about, not an entire forum :p
 
In fairness, I haven't made a spec me a car thread for ages because they are totally hopeless with me, but drunk Acme thought "hey, you know what would be good? Making a spec me a car thread" and here we are... :p
 
Could get a cheap Clio 182 for a couple of years, faster than the 197 and 200 due to weight, and cheaper on fuel. Can pick them up in good condition and lots of history for £2k, should be worth the same after a couple of years time if looked after too, so it'll pay for the extra fuel cost over the Skoda which will depreciate.

Lots of decent ones for sale on the Clio sport forum all the time, so you should be able to find a good one and search it's history on there.
 
I get absolute max of 30mpg with my MX5 on a run. Mostly hovers around the low to mid 20s.
 
Wish I'd never sold the Corolla in honesty... It would have been the best of both of the cars I have now, especially now I don't have to do LOL mileage anymore (which was the whole reason for the switch), and they are going up in value as well...

The whole situation is making me genuinely quite sad...

Standard vs Standard an EP3 isn't much faster than a 200.

I didn't say it was much faster, I just said it was faster!

Acme, have you ever had a shot of an EP3 CTR? I kind of regret selling mine and that's with me owning an Evo 8!
 
It's been mentioned before, I don't think he likes them.

But it's absolutely what I would buy on a maximum 7k budget for fun and reliability. (in fact, 3500 on the ep3 and rest in the bank)

7k would get an average FN2 too.

How about an Integra DC5 ?

I'm just about to buy one, not sure if I want to let my FN2 go though.
 
Ah that's true tbh, just had a quick look at FN2 prices..
Last time I looked I was only filtering for Champ Whites.

There you go then, 6k FN2 with a grand change to get it remapped :)
