Hi all,

On a very low budget (£1500 to £2000), looking at the E46 330ci against the 328ci on paper there isn't much between them and we aren't that refined as drivers to be able to notice the difference. However how do the two compare for handling, and aftermarket tuning solutions - which would be cheaper to get more power out of.

Would also like to know what are the draw backs of a 2 door car against 4 door.

The car will be stripped initially so the extra luxury leather goodies aren't going to be used, but can be used to fund fuel and track days. Then it will have suspension uprated when we (me and my son) are comfortable with the stock set up. Eventually power uprated, and at some point I would like to put a cage in it purely for safety reasons.

Thanks for looking and look forward to the voices of experience.

After reading the thread "Daily-Track Day Car for £2K Lap times, weight, power + more" https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I'm starting to like the RX8, I have a MX5 is it much different to it?

Thanks to all for the advice, in the end bought another Westfield project, this one is road registered so doesn't need an IVA, but needs a complete strip and rebuild.
