fox3 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'm after a bit of a project, the vans ok with the new TDI lump in, but its never going to be a rocket ship, or handle well! I'm after something fast but subtle, and most importantly cheap. My mates just stuffed a cav red top into an old 1.2 Corsa, kept it totally standard looking bar 15inch steelys and its great, handles well on lowered springs and is a perfect car for everyday trips to work etc. I was thinking along the lines of a fiesta Si, the 1.6 zetec ones are just screaming out for a 2.0 mondy engine transplant! What can you lot think of? Any car, just has to be around 1k all in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox3 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I've seen the royal nail van, thats fantastic! I think it would smash my 1k budget, but would be nice! I cant imagine it handles too great though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 citreon AX with a VTS engine or a renault 5 campus with a GTT That would be awesome. Like the idea of a corsa though. A few years ago a few of us went to vauxhall performance weekend at the pod and there was a purple corsa sleeper. Hub caps, shitty exhaust, the lot. Did the strip in sub 11 seconds and was beaing the likes of vx220 and was on par with that mg super car thing. Was proper entertaining to wastch.

dutchkev Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 the redtop on a corsa is becoming old hat imo, dont get me wrong it is quick though!! why not try the calibra turbo engine with a 6 speed box?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 An Si isnt much of a sleeper as it already has a kit on... you want a basic fiesta 2.0 or something. Some kind of 2.0 Kia Pride would be a good sleeper.... have seen Micras with Pulsar GTiR engines in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
