£4k for a track car/daily driver

[DaddyCC]

Exhaust isnt gonna make a difference to them... Only thing that will is the fannymould (even then not massive)... Unless looking a lowd wan

 

[wingnut]

Don't be gay and buy a yellow one though or you'll look like a tube.

 

[düb]

are the car auctions at like say Wilsons a good place to pick up cheap track-day projects?

serious munchies to do one lol

nah no drifting allowed. odd step out is to be expected but hanging it out is frowned on

And this is EXACTLY why Wayne from SWRC is holding days like Total CARnage, where every type of car, be it a 1600 Nova, a 500bhp or even a dull-as-dish-water Integra is allowed on the track to do their own thing, be it hanging the arse well and truely out, getting to grips with the handling and unsersteering of a FWD or if your just wanting to go fast in your road going car without having to worry about getting points

 

[chr1s]

what about an ek9 gee? Would love to see one of these tracked but just dont have the swingers to do mine lol. Mines got a good suspension set up and full system. Its forsale and will come wit a full mot (mot date is this monday). The only thing is it mite be a wee bit over ur 4k budget.but give me a shout if your interested

 

[Bronk]

yup fair play it fills a place in the market alright. kirkistowns problem is the local holy rollers yapping on about noise.

Please dont get a JDM model.

wash your mouth out

 

[Lyons]

If we're being honest the UK front is much nicer!

 

[Richy]

Please dont get a JDM model.

Out of curiosity... Why not?

 

[pablo]

I prefer the UK one too I must admit. front end is much fresher

sorry bronk

This would have been ideal, proper FORD material

Bollox to the FWD stuff. This would leave you with 1.5k to play with getting it ready. Plus you could sell the full Cossie interior in a flash back home:

I think they are SO bland looking, the UK model just looks far better in my opinion!

 

[Bronk]

blasphemy..you's are all going to hell

 

[Bride]

9/10 would say the JDM front looks much better than the UKDM front on DC2's!

 

[Graham2]

Not a Ford man at all seanbob unless it was an FRS.

Always preferred the UK ones but recently have taken a liking to the JDM front. Not really sure which I prefer any more! Will see what pops up.

Have you your car advertised anywhere, Chris? PM me some info, hadn't considered an EK9 as they still seem to go for big dough.

Gee why not just do a few trackdays in your e46? To be fair it is a good handling rwd car with decent power. At the end of the day you do more daily driving than trackdays.

 

[m00k]

i prefer the uk dc2 aswell but tbh both the uk and jdm ones are overpriced for what they are, so i'd go for whatever you can get thats reasonable money/spec/condition

 

[106lad]

ek9 type r civic?

 

[Chris Mac]

i much prefer the UK tegs

Doesn't handle very well being so low and there's no way I'd higher it. I don't think it'd be an awful lot of fun on track either, not the sort of engine you get anything out of by revving it. I do very little mileage, about 7k in the last year so daily driving comfort isn't a massive concern.
