New car

[melvin1993]

Iv been looking into buying a car to drive to work and back and once my apprenticeship is finished turn this car into a track car and buy something els boring to do the daily with, with that in mind the has to last 2 years at least and then meany track days and probably some sprints and hill climbs after the 2 years are up. I already have a 200 so I'm not really bothred if its a flash car or any of that rubbis

my choices are a 172 cup or some sort of 182

i have ATM £2000 to spend and have already found a nice looking 172 cup thanks to mike as his friend is selling it


i just wanted to know what are the thoughts on what car would be best for what I intend on using it for ?

think you have picked a good car bud for the money if you had a little more maybe an ep3 :thumbsup:

Would like an ep3 but insurance would kill me haha

Dont forget to factor in the insurance issue with a 172 cup if you are going to run it on the road due to the lack of ABS

225's are very cheep at the min and the suspension can easy be stiffened up for the track

I did think about that and when I looked It was only £80 more than if I was going to get a 182 so I can live with that haha no abs is a bit of a nightmare on the roads but it'll be a leaning experience haha

I think the insurance would be to steep for me tbh only being 20
