I am thinking of buying a track day car. Give me some suggestions. I was thinking of maybe a pug 205 gti 1.9, Renault 5 GT Turbo or maybe a Astra GTE. I don't wanna pay more than a grand tho!
Cheers

are you on drugs!!!
a honda accord as a track car
id suggest an old nova, 1.6 or 2.0.... pug 205 GTi 1.6 or 1.9
i saw a honda something was old, cheap to buy, good handling and was stripped out, might not of been a accord could of been something else
