DDecided id sell up once its complete.  Putting the saved cash towards a house and ill also be debt free for the ffirst time in 10 years.

Looking at spending 7-8k on a car which is pretty good out if the box, can handle trackday abuse with little mods and carry a family and dog around when required.

Thinking

Mk1 FRS, megane R26, prodrive impreza STI etc.  Basically either an LSD or AWD.fo

R26... done!  :happy2:

Id say Clio RS200, but only 2 door is a pain if you need good rear seat access.

awd is boring unless your going to spend lots of cash on power as they just do things easy so its a little bland  :smiley: RWD or the meg mate cracking car out of the box

Im not shy if making a rash purchase or sale.  The car was bought randomly. I wasn't on the lookout for one by any means. Initially planned to sell it after tour anyway.

@rich

R26 is a good shout.  All it needs is a remap and its track ready

Is it that time of year again already.  :grin:  seems to have come round fast this time.  :rolleye: Do you want me to dig all the old threads out, or are you going to start another 12 or 13 in the random section again.  :laugh: :wink:  :popcornsoda:

No mech diff and it's FWD but wouldn't a Leon Cupra 240 give best value for money with reliability compared with those Sy?

I'm a bit alarmed that it seems people thought that would be the manner I announced something had happened to Sy  :confused:
