im looking at one tonight are they any nippier than a vtr?
im sure the 0-60 is the same but a lot of people are saying the vtr is faster..

the zetec s weighs more but has 11 more horses so i thought they would have been about the same!!

get a bmw 318is coupe you'll get one for well under £2500 and with the money you save put it towards the insurance?

you'll save money on repairs too cause if you drive through a puddle in a vtr the bumpers, arches and gearbox will all fall off! lol

Id say get a VTR, you cant beat them for a laugh they have a lively rear end so lift off over steer is a must and handle brilliantly when set up.. and you can make them a hell of allot faster for pennies (ie we recently cammed one for £150 with a re profiled cam and everything needed to do the job (head gasket, oil, filters, cam belt, tensioner etc!) doesn't take much to make one keep up with a standard 106 GTI and they have allot more low down grunt to pull you from corner to corner on a track :boogy:

Oh and if it brakes you can fix them for pennies there simple so most stuff you can rebuild yourself with a simple tool set!

Rallyes fetch a premium which is rediclious you pay mint 106 GTI money sometimes more and get a shit load less and a car twice as old and most of them are battered as they tend to get used properly by the type of people that own them.

very well said mate taking that into great account cheers!!!

and that actually sounds like something i could easily do have spare parts for a saxo laying around my dads scrapyard just incase too

You'll find that the spares you want won't be found in the scrapyards.

VTR/VTS/Gti/Rallye parts are desireable items. Scrappies tend to pay them special attention when comes in to make sure anything thats salvageable is removed from the car.

Very true ste, but i would also say go with a VTR...

I had one, it was good but im heavy handed and mangled the gearbox
