Lee R Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 if you want a fast car, sell up now... putting a 180-200bhp, (who knows!!!) RS2000 throttle-bodied engine in mine only felt 'worth it' for a few weeks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskiddanny Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think you should test drive the cars you are interested in and then buy the one you like the most.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy_GTi Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 One of my former work colleagues (I would say friend but...He wasn't. lol) bought a 1.3t Toyota Starlet a year or so ago. Ok it was pretty fast considering, but its pig ugly and if you were gonna have one freshly imported, it wouldn't be worth the hassle. He managed to blow the head gasket after a matter of weeks but I think that was due to his compulsive refusing to change gear when sitting on the redline rather than a poorly built car. I agree with basskiddanny...Go find some tidy examples of what you're interested in, test drive em and then buy which you prefer...Simple !
