dan_jess Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 106GTi, one year they were voted 2nd best handling car in the world between a skyline and a 355! []
gus the bus Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 106GTi, one year they were voted 2nd best handling car in the world between a skyline and a 355! [] Was that when Jeremy Clarkson put them up against each other on one of the tracks down south? Thats what made me buy one! I had so much fun in my 106 but sold it to buy my first scoob fae Nobles.

Gus Sure was!!! Get a 205GTI. I have one and it is great cheap fun. They are the most popular cars for track days. Plus, if you are going anywhere shady, you can take that instead of the Scooby!!!
dan_jess Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Yep! I loved my wee pug 106GTi, it could fair move and gave plenty of bigger cars a fright! You could get a 205 and put the GTi / VTS engine in. Throttle Bodies!!!? []
andrew_lally Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 stick a 2.0 valver in a corsa mate....you wont be dissapointed.....Mr2 will be very very slow on track... Pugs are ok but nothing special...my old cavalier 8v gives them a good run every month!!! civic vtec would be my personal choice!!!!....160+ bhp and superb handling cars...strip it out and get into the 1.05s brakes and slicks will make it quicker and more fun!!! lot o scope to have a good trackcar for 2k mate....we go up every month in £50-£100 bangers and have a good time!!! secret is to get the weight down to a minimum...our XR2 is down to 740kg now and it takes the piss out of a lot o triack machinary, more so in the corners hahahahaha regards andy
STi_Bandit Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 i was looking more now at the Saxo VTS for some fun think the civic vtecs are slighty out of budget. With the saxo it would be fully stripped out and lightened as much as possible... Martin
Fee Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Pugs are ok but nothing special...my old cavalier 8v gives them a good run every month!!! You think ?? [] Pug 205 every time [] I agree! (Although I havent actually managed to use mine yet on track!)
