£5k fun weekender

[Laundrymike]

This is on Facebook for £4,500. Won’t set the world alight being 133bhp but would be stacks of fun. Some great mods including CAE shifter, Bilstein coilovers, ITG Maxogen, Scorpion exhaust and OZ Alleggerita wheels. Even includes the 133 plate.

May not be what you are after but it might be of interest to someone!

That is class!! Be a brilliant wee back road blaster and the odd trackday. Had a go of one once and really liked it!

Drop in a set of cams, tubular manifold and a Ktec remap and they make around 165bhp with the mods it has, it would be good fun and handle like a go kart no doubt. Then again you could probably find a very nice 172 cup for the same outlay.

It’s still a twingo though Baz

I think those twingo Renault sports are class

Audi S3 8L

Hi, Thought I'd share a few photos of the S3 I recently bought . I'm Volkswagen through and through but I must say I do love this! The build quality is superb. I was passed the link from this forum by domogti and thought I must go and check it out, it had been previously owned by a member on...

rmsmotoring.com

Might be a touch more than 5k but my S3 was great fun! Perfect weekend car!

As @CraigH_ said above

3 grand leave a few quid to tidy it up

No doubt an S3 would be a nice place to be, but just not sure it would feel special enough for a pure weekender.

Back looking at MX-5's again after seeing my friends latest purchase. Beautiful white 2012 2.0l sport with black electric hardtop, mirrors & wheels, some other choice mods too.

Agreed on the S3 and think the same of most hatches tbh, pure weekend car has to be a convertible or second to that a coupe imo. Realistically at 5k ur looking at

Mk1 and early Mk2 TT
MX-5 early NC maybe (facelift looks much better if u could stretch to it) - one that might do Mazda, MX-5, Convertible, 2007, Manual, 1999 (cc), 2 doors | in Castlereagh, Belfast | Gumtree
The odd Boxster
Z4
Slk - these seem gd value but maybe more GT-ish but will depend what your coming from
E46 Cab - bit big in my eyes
A4 Cab - as above
Cheap SL merc out of England

Cant be much more than the above bar some left field choices, but at 5k you'll likely need to be happy to take something that is less than mint in one way or another, for what it is Id personally take the odd age related mark and average miles in exchange for a well looked after possibly garaged car with good service history. At that money in those cars your unlikely to lose much money so id jut buy what you like the look of give it a go and you can always sell it on again.

Corsa vxr. Slightly over budget.

An Alfa GTV from the early 2000s. Beautiful and bound to be a disaster.

Think I've had 1 too many birthdays to pull that one off without looking like a plank

Would be some fun though

I love them too, I nearly bought one a few years back but it turned out to be pretty rotten underneath, they are getting on a bit now. They tune well and sound very similar to the Audi 5 pot engine. If you could get a clean one it would be great craic and something different, I’m not sure what kind of condition £5k gets you these days though.

Hard to get spares for these I think, someone on Detailing World has 1.

 

[andy9eleven]

An R53 Cooper S and go a bit mad on mods.

Or free up some more $$ for @johnm more modern one

 

[300trophy]

Link. Cant seem to find it.

Sorry. I was chatting to the owner about buying it as I was going to use it as a track ready toy to run at Trackskills a few times throughout the year. He has decided not to sell it though .

It wasn’t on the NI page, was advertised through one of the Clio Sport Facebook pages.

 

[Lappintyre]

Still looking

Focus ST?

Could’ve sworn I saw a white one the other day up for 4K and thought that was pretty decent value - not much help I know

Had 1 a few years ago. Really fun, loads of power & epic soundtrack but fancy something different.

What about a 350z convertable, just about in budget.

I didn,t realise that the 370z had dropped so low. Quite liked this one, albeit high mileage and over budget.

Big fan of a hardtop 350z, for some reason though the convertible in them just looks wrong.

That 370 is nice but the miles would put me off.

There was a 6k 350z somewhere local, FB maybe, but he mentioned rust which would rule it out.

Completely agree with you on the convertible, but would be interesting to get a run in one with the roof down and a nice exhaust on it.
