Where do I go next...BEC?

[ikarl]

I sold my turbo MEV Exocet in 2017 and went back to bikes for a while but now I've got the urge to get a blisteringly quick kit car again.

I've seen some built BECs but with only 400/tonne at best (my Exo was 370/tonne and i wanted more) so I don't think it will be enough.

Anyone know of any high power cars sub-£15k that would meet my needs?

The advert really put me off that Sylva, but I'll look into costs of a charger, cheers

Thanks Ugg, just a quick check, you've spoke about an s2000, but your links in your first post were both the same...


Is it this by any chance - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2...

I went out for a test ride in a local car that I found on gumtree this morning. a GBS Zero, 2l supercharged duratec. Recently mapped to 277bhp and weighed in at 630kg.... on paper it sounds exactly what I'm looking for (400+/tonne)

However, the drive out in it was underwhelming the owner said it needs more road miles and another mapping session etc.. but that concerns me

Very possible that I can't find what I'm looking for with the budget I have

I appreciate what you’re saying.

I guess coming from a 237hp / 660kg car and knowing I want something with “more” it’s hard to put it into words other than bhp/tonne as a simple guide and hope that something would be offered that I hadn’t thought about or if anyone knew of a car that might suit the bill that they knew was up/going up for sale.

Everything about the supercharged car was perfect.... the parts used, the build quality, even down to the mapper used to tune it to 277hp.... but it wasn’t right low down (could hear it missing/popping through the exhaust) so maybe it was being held back by something and the seller said it would need another mapping session - something didn’t add up.

I definitely wouldn’t say no to a v8 but ithe car will see quite a few trackdays and the majority of v8s on the market are setup more for fast cruising than trackday-blasting...

Again.. if the right car comes up
