I currently drive an O3WRX and was intending to use it for track days, sprints and hillclimbs, I did not do my homework, as I have just recieved my membership pack and there are a few min requirements, one being a roll cage. Its a leased vehicle and a def no no. I am now looking for a car to modify for this purpose. I have an open mind but must be quick and handle well, oh and must not be a dog. I fully intend repainting the car in my companies colours and more than likley rebuild the engine, so please let me know whats available.

My Budget....around £2k

Hi Legasybear, thanks but its a bit out of my price range.

I am open minded about what make of car...I did not expect to get a scooby for £2k. I am looking for a great handling quick to fast car.

Come on guys, surey thers the perfect car out there.

My brother has a LHD Acura (Honda) Integra 1.8 RSi with minor suspension damage and a great engine for sale for quite a bit less than what you're looknig to spend. The car is a Canadian Import and is about a MY90-91 I think.
If you're interested call Mark on 07814 422123 and tell him Andy told you to call.

Hi McScooby, thanks for the offer on the Acura, but I have decided to buy an Alfa 155, there cheap, quick and great rounds bends, of course not like the scooby.

Good luck with the Alfa as they do handle quite well.

I have a WRX that I use for hillclimbing and occasional sprints and am about to do my first trackday.

Mind you I wish I could have got away with a £2,000 budget !.

Hi Le mans,

The £2k budget is for the car, then I have another £2-3k for suspension, roll cage and few engine tweeks, so all told it should be a handy car!

Cheers

Mark
