Hi all i have sold my R33 GTR Skyline so have a bit of cash for a wkend toy, not wanting to spend loads as been down that road so looking for something with a bit of power and torque. My skyline had 780bhp and could really shift so ideally something with a bit of punch. Iv been checking the ususal ebay? pistonheads and have a budget of around £10k, can you advice me what to go for. I like the look of the hawkeye big spoiler ect ect, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Elliot

 

wow !! after your 780bhp gtr pretty much everything else is a step backwards imo

 

lol ye i know but to be honest u couldnt use the power anywhere apart from drag, always fancied a scooby after i sold my type r v5 sti, the sound cant be beaten, i regreted it lol

 

What about something like this.

with a couple of grand spare to spend onit, or are you after something newer?

 

no not for me thanks anyway, got my heart set on the scooby

 

fair enough. Iv also had other marques but ended up back in a scooby, like you say the noise cant be beaten.

 

what you all think of this are they worth it?? I do like the look ALOT

so your not aiming to be as fast as ur gtr ?? do you want classic ?or new age ? i think it would be better to get a cheap base car and spend,spend,spend

 

im looking for a new age and as iv had many performance cars over the yrs to be honest i find it a pain in the a!$e getting parts fitted, would rather buy something ready to go not needing anything and looks the part.

I doubt i will find anything as fast but i just couldnt use the power on my GTR

 

Lol at the 10k budget then the 15k rb320, so the budget is out the window and you've only just started looking.

Fantastic,with a 15k budget you are in holy grail territory the holy grail being a jdm sti spec c.

Do some research.

Enough said.

 

Classic Type R and spend rest on making it a monster

 

Sent you a PM with my recent experience of buying a hawk.

 

Ok first of ye i did say £10k but i may add more for the right car lol, i did read a thread about the rb320 just think they look awesome, do they hold their value???

Not sure what the jdm spec c looks like not seen many for sale but will investigate.

Addtmitts thanks for the heads up, i think rite now is a buyers market and hopefully one something takes my fancy soon.

 

Someone say Spec-c, lol.

Depending on which year you want the 03-04 or the 05 model spec c`s,The revised 05 model had a slightly widertrack and larger hubs, All versions of the Spec-c are, Lightweight, twinscroll turbo, Shorter 5th & 6th gears, with the roof vent, also depending on the model(Limited) some have electric windows and air con, standard they are booked at 0-60 in 4.2 and 0-100 in 11.1 secs, with approx 310bhp. Same looks as the 03-05 model UK impreza`s apart from a roof vent but weigh approx 90kg less.

They dont come up for sale too often, i`ve only had mine a few months but got very lucky finding it, They look like this in either White, Blue or Red, Gaz.

 

I've seen a few uk hawkeyes for under 10k. Not something you would have seen beginning of last year.

 

Weekend toy ???

Late classic STI type R, end of discussion.

 

how about a wr1 ?

 

Terminator X's car is up for sale here. 450bhp for about 8 grand - that's a good car! Couple grand on future mods and more ponies to play with. Plus the all important drivetrain has been upgraded to withstand abuse too.

Don't rule out the classics, Newages are lardy or ugly (sometimes both)

wow that's some car!

real sleeper look about it too.

 

i do have a 95 classic aswell which is standard but i love the look of the hawkeye, rb320 2 yrs ago i had a 1998 sti type r v5 and loved it, might try find one of them

 

This Is my opinion and I know many others share it.

Everyday car then newage (blob/hawk) is the way to go.

Weekend fun, the lightness and agility of a classic STI is unbeatable.

 

where is the best place to look apart from ebay, pistonheads, i would prefer the 2dr model sti

 

Terminator X's car .

 

im not sure on it, not putting the car down in anyway i just prefer the 2dr coupe model

 

pistonheads, autotrader ,ebay, for sale section on here

 

10k on a week end car : ) good lad
There's a 2 dr on eBay ATM good spec

 

can u show me the link

 

You can have my spec-c for 14 grand

 

Have a good search on here buddy. There was a P1 with freshly built engine for sale recently. Not sure if it sold.
