Thinking of selling my SRi Corsa C as I fancy a bit of a change - needs a few pieces of trim tidied but if you where interested let me know via PM?

Ibiza 1.8T FR. has a K03S turbo so maps straight to 210

That's the one alright. Suppose he may be worth a pm anyway. Wee Ibiza looks great.
Any examples of these s3's or Ibiza FR's?
I should note the car needs to be in N.I I really couldn't be bothered with a wasted journey to the UK and the cost it would take would have to come out of the 3k budget.

I sold my ep3 civic for £2800 not that long ago at a bargain and it was far from hanging out of its arse. If you can find one with less that 70k with a chain and clutch just done and absolutely standard. Go across the pond to mainland uk and im pretty sure you will be able to find one. That would get my vote over french s**t* and anything with a turbo as that could be a problem down the line.

No, not really.
I love the little cars but the worst thing about them is the enormous steering wheel odd driving position and the seats need to come up your back about another 2 inches to provide better support! An i'm no giant at 5'7"!
Other than that, they're awesome wee drivers cars. I'd be looking at @Jordy's in Ballymoney it's sitting fantastic. I'd have it only the wife wont let me have it
@StevenMc29 is selling a nice blue 182!

Aye you'd be needing to head over to england for an S3, no 8L's on these shores. £250 should see you over and back though
very few nice scoobs left here, most are ruined with ***** add ons all over them and a stupid can exhaust hangin off the back

This boy knows it!
Especially for all weather driving, apart from the remap, a decent set of pads makes these cars very enjoyable.

Agreed in bagfuls!
I always wanted one, got one 4 years ago as a quick stop gap when moving jobs (prev job had a co. Occy VRS). Apart from a newer blob/hawk, I really can for the life of me think of what suits my needs/wants any better so dont seem me changing again any time soon neither.
