KS - anything you'd be wanting would probably be engine parts which would mean putting it in somewhere as i don't have the facilities to do it myself atm. Not really keen to do that as it'd mean spending more cash...i do still have the steering rack sitting in the garage tho...

I actually test drove a few cars yesterday and OMG - what a come down from the valver! First one was a 106 diesel..pedals are so close together and talk about bodyroll...second one was an 1.2 clio and although it felt the better of the two it was so so SO slow. My folks are trying to steer me away from clios and have a 'normal' car but i think i might be able to blag a 1.2 or maybe 1.4...it'll need 'fiddled' with tho...

Only one car to get as far as i am concerned.

Honda CRX, mk1, mk2 vtec or mk3 vtec

I had both a Williams and a MK1 CRX at the same time. CRX pound for pound is a faster car. Heres the facts of the CRX:

1. Cost me 800 quid. 2k would get you a loverly low mileage example

2. As fast as my williams on a dual carriageway blast (nothing in it).

3. Stripped and with an induction kit in could keep with a TT 225, Corrado Vr6 and a S14 Silvia to well over 100.

4. It weighed under 800 kgs stripped out and put out 130 bhp.

5. It did 55 mpg if you took it easy (as stated in the Honda manual) and verified by myself.

6. A few new bushes and some new springs and it would handle very well.

7. Dont get a white one, i did and it looked shite. Red is nice.

8. The mk 2 vtec are very tunable (respond very well to breathing mods) and are very quick, plus vtec punch. Also very reliable being a honda.

9. Mk3 vtec are more powerful but heavier. Id say Mk2 vtecs are the fastest, followed by MK1's followed by Mk3 vtecs. Dont bother with a mk2 or 3 non vtec.

10. The insurance was rediculously cheap for such a fast car. Only a 1.6 and deemed non stealable because of their image.

11. I had a shit load of fun taking down more expensive machinery.

12. The engine screams like it loves it

13. Nice induction roar

14. Spent nothing on it when i had it. Nothing went wrong.

15. Tryes are small and cheap (wheels are 13's i think on the mk1, hence the fantstic acceleration)

16. I have some pics if you like.

17. Best bit. The engine is a 1.6 DOHC as found in the rover GTI so loads of cheap parts about (in the non vtec). Also Integra parts bolt straight on. Intregra discs fit under the wheels (just) and ingetra exhausts are on many examples. Prelude leather also fits straight in.
