    if you had a grand

    and the aim was to buy a car, and mod it, using only bits you have lying around.


    what would you end up with?

    I don't have a single car part anywhere in my garage, so I guess it would be whatever I could find on ebay

    Predictable choice from me then - E30 325i. Although a Valver, 205/309 GTi and Mk2 Golf GTi would be potentials. Loadsa stuff out there

    sorry mate..4 wheels, would have to be 100 bhp + for me to test pilot ;)


    could always whack a cheap v8 in lol.


    tis a toughie tbh....could get a 1/2 decent 309, mi16 and carb it....much prefer these to the 205s tbh.

    clio would be mainly a valver with 2.0, or summat like a van with 5gtt lump in or summat. pick a van up for £100.leaves 900 to mod lol


    id be very tempted with a nike engined mini tbh. mite be a bit of work like, and overall cost might shade a grand, but it could be done fairly cheap dependant on original purchase costs.


    lol @ gunner......ud get a non running 250bhp turbo.........or shud that be 0bhp turbo ;)
