other thing jay that might be worth investigating is sprint days, cheaper than a proper track day and could be more fun

What do MK2 fez's handle like? I want it to handle well, but still be fun... if you get me, I want it to have a bit of a challenge to it like!

Intrigued by the MK2 fez cos I know I could do this for cheap, Biggest off put for me is the Turbo Just not reliable enough to be ragging about!

Been reading up on the Mk2 and a 2.0 goes in quite easy, has 136bhp standard and still handles well, with the right suspension set up! I may have made up my mind on the car to do! Can do all this for under 1k too!

You'll be lucky to find a decent Mk2 shell these days...

To be honest Id start off with something basic and build up. Theres no point talking about conversions if you've never been near a track before. Buy a Nova/205/Fiesta and get some decent safety equipment and get some track time. Once you've been and done it a few times you'll realise half the things you wanted before are not needed etc.

If your serious about building a car, drop me an email and I'll help you out.

Hug?


It would appear that although quite rude at times, you do have the capacity for gentlemanly behaviour.

So, hug accepted

Truce is infinitely preferable to war
