new car.....

[jonboy21t]

Long time no see chaps.........sold the 21 turbo back in April & replaced it with an Impreza Turbo, i've now sold that (full asking on Pistonheads..) & i'm looking for something else...preferably with a turbo...but not really fused. Was thinking about maybe a Fiat Coupe 20v turbo, Nissan 200SX turbo or even another 21 turbo....
Anyone got any ideas - not looking to spend a fortune (£3,000 or so) just want something to hoon about in at weekends & scare my mates on Zig-Zag.....

Cheers.....

PS; there are cheaper, lower miler ones around.

From your suggestions, 200SX are in high demand with drifters. You can get a decent Fiat Coupe for silly money- guy who bought this T-plate turbo with 95k gave £1300 back in the summer.



As for another 21, if yours was a goodun, I'd leave it at that - chances of finding another goodun can't be that high

Although you wont want to be scaring your mates the whole time, those rubber bands around those spinny things at each corner wont last too long and will cost alot.

Plus there are the well documents flaws with the AWD system.

Get a FWD and have all 250bhp and 350nm

Or this; mod'd T5

Nice.........

Problem is i already have a ST Mondeo Estate as a family wagon & want something that won't take all my garage space........

[GingerRob]

Completely going off par thought of a Clio 172 or 182 cup?

[jonboy21t]

I've been looking at the 172's but don't like the styling on the phase 1's & the phase 2's within my budget are a tad ropey.........good call though.....I'm sure with Christmas coming they'll be bargins a plenty about....

[minimatt1967]

306GTi-6 Jon?

Hi Matt.....never thought about the Gti-6.....i drove a 306tdi years ago and was impressed with the handling......another one to consider - if i can find a clean/original one..

[Syndrome]

Xsara VTS, practicly identical mechanicaly to the Pug 306 GTI-6 but without the wky six speed box and doesn't make you look like such a ghey / chav.

Since when did driving a Gold Citroën not make you look Ghey and driving the last of the proper Peugeot GTIs make you look a Chav? I hardly think Jon is going to find a bespoilered example adorned with 19" chromes and think 'hmmm just what my life has been missing'.

s14a. I too want to do zig-zag, never been down that way. Wish I had known about it when I had my 200sx's!
