What should I get next?

Was thinking a 1.6 si with a few mods already to get me started.
But there are some other quicker cars and stuff I can get, like maybe an escort, or a VTR, but I have to be able to buy it for £1000 or less and I'd say 1.8 or less with my 1 years no claims

I think petrol too.. Unless there's a bargain deisel

with 1 years no claims a lot of cars are insure-able. s2 erst, 205 gti, vts etc. all cheaper than what i pay now for a 1.1 with no years no claims.

i'd go for a 106 xsi/rallye/gti, as it's easy and fun to tune.

205 gti would be a bombshell for 1k. Well not totally but it would always need work doing on it.

well I just tried insuring a 1.8 civic VTI (granted 180bhp) but they wouldn't insure me, or a 1.8 escort GTI, no insurance. Although I have just found an amazing 1.6 si

35000 miles. Green on eBay. Anyone seen it? Please don't buy it

as I might.

Fair enough. Thinking about it, all the valvers I've seen have had no rear quarters
left at all due to rot and yeah, civics are nearly as bad :lol:

How much are GTi-6's these days, phase 1, might be able to get an old one for a grand???

Yeah you can get semi-decent P1's for just a tad over 1k easily. Ph2/3 1k'ers tend to be a lottery come MOT time with what bushes/brakes are needed (which believe me can mount up). 2k+ mark is where it's at, as it's V\W\X reg/Rallye territory... But you can find someone wanting a quick sale.

1k territory.. Well, I ended up with a 106 Xsi.
