I'd get a Twingo, No idea why I just like the name and there like 130BHP in a 1.3 or something?

_________________

i think the 130bhp is turbo'd!

my mates got a twingo limited Etd 1.6 N/A and it kept up with a Starlet turbo no problem! nuts its just the power to weight ratio is brilliant.

Well just went on Yarisclubuk.com and im chuffed to beans! theres some immaculate ones going for £2,500/£3,000 theres even a supercharged one pushing 150bhp! in a 800kg car thats nuts!
so will be breaking the bits off the rattler when the moneys saved up and then selling it as a standard car

What power do the Yaris' get up to with 'standard' mods (induction, exhaust etc)

I believe the are 108bhp standard with the VTS and twingo are 125bhp and 130bhp

What wrong with the VTS badge out of interest? (just pull it off and make it look like a 1.1) never heard anybody have a problem with it apart from when the word Saxo is included.

What kind of mileage does that money get you?

well by the looks of things they respond pretty well to the usual filter, 4 branch, decat and exhaust and its all HKS and blitz stuff and i woulda thought you could push for 115/120 and it has the variable cam timing like a mini vtec . i didnt mean i had a problem with the vts badge the insurance do lol ive read up the insurance is quite low for the t-sport due to them not being deemed as a "boy racer" car. Well i seen one modded with all the listed things above and a set of 5zigen wheels for £2,600 with 97k but its all stamped and had a major service by toyota, and then on piston heads i found one for £3,100 standard with 58k. but ive done a bit of reasearch and theres no apprent major problems or engine reliability issues all the major reviews like auto car express and the like are raving about the reliability.

It doesn't effect insurance dude, the VTS is only group 8 (because its quicker mostly).

That is still quite high mileage:

I would pick the Twingo - T Sport over the VTS Purely for looks.

Even when someones goes to the darkside percy you still persuade them to something else

_________________

I am just promoting thinking about it nothing more.

What kind of rate are you saving at? how long do you think it will take to get 3K 4K etc, as things may change if its a longish time, 2 sometimes it worth saving a few more months to get a better example (lower mileage etc)

_________________

as soon i start my new job im gonna see how much i can live without each month might even sell the car up and buy a push bike as the missus will be driving by then. trying not to go down the loan route but depends what kinda deal i can get what you think percy?

btw i dont think i'd go for the c2 i know there quick and all but its just the front end on them lol

I wouldn't go down the loan route. Problem occur, things change, situations, I've done it, then been stuck with no job and a £500 maxed out overdraft a blown up car and being generally screwed. Although i've borrowed the money for the ZS from my grandad, your best bet is to earn the money and pay for it outright, that way theres no interest and no chance that suddenly everything changes and your screwed! lol

_________________

see what the old man can do. say i save up 75% and he loans me the rest. hes done it before and i paid it back hmmm.

_________________

The Fat Fake Xr2i

yep. As long as you know your alright and you'll be sticking with the job, ive done mine over 6 months, £300 a month, ended up doing £400 last month, £300 this month, now ive found a possible apprentaship with £500 left so im in a right pickle!

_________________

it might be quick but its a toyota... a car that will get boring very quickly and imo they have a old grannie/drivers that get in the wrong way all the time and hold you up kind of image, and it wont break down enough/ need work to make it fun lol, keep the fiesta mate it has charater and a soul

Hey! My dad has an Aygo in red with a spoiler and everything!

_________________

this is exactly what i did for my saph, i saved for 4 months @ £500 a month, i then proceeded to seel anything that wasnt boldted down for my Si, all my ZT stuff

i bought my saph outright @ 5k and i dont and never will owe a penny to the banks for it

ive always worked on the theory if i dont have the coin i cant have it

good luck with what ever you decide tho kris

Seakin of grannies driving yaris's, i remember seeing an old woman driving in what must of 1st gear at about 20-30mph, that thing was screaming abit lol.

_________________

i dont think they quite have that image. the t-sports when modded look like a little quick jdm car. plus theres one on there that has a starlet engine pushing 250bhp
i know the fez has the character but im getting bored theres no real engine conversions i can do without being raped on insurance plus the constant worrys at mot's and shelling out for welding is starting to do my nut in.

wouldn't it make sense to leave the fez as is?

I think theissue is power though. But not so muxh insurance is mega high. Obvi 1.1 isn't the most powerful thrilling drive after a while

_________________

well i think i would get more by breaking the parts of it i.e kit, wheels, Euro spec lights, suspension etc etc then clean up the car and sell the standard car with all standard bits
