About 385 BHP just from a turbo kit! Have a read and yes it is the same forum this is one of the more knowledgeable members though!

 

 

Good luck with not turning the JC5 gearbox into cheese with that sort of power and torque!!

I have a cheap car that would be great for the track.

 

 It is a 2000 Audi A3 1.8T Quattro, easily tuneable for more power, very predictable on track (as I see with my Golf 4 motion) and all for less than a grand to take away today.

 

 Strip it out, a few tweaks and you will have a fairly competitive car to start with, let me know if you are interested I can send you some pictures.

That would be a really good option as a track car having the Quattro system as well as an easily tuneable 1.8T

This could be a good idea actually, always been a quiet fan of audi's, they are VAG so i can only assume reliable .

Yeah and you could quite happily sell the interior!

aye, audi interior sells quite well, arent audi's generally well equipped, even the low spec ones?

Depends it will be well specced if a Quattro I'd guess

Makes no difference.

Quattro just means it has four wheel drive.

Everything is an optional extra, even cruise control.

Any experience with these bossfox? think this could make a nice trackday car? ( i have no experience of track days and have never even been to one )

Ahh right!

Vigyaz where are you located?

The best thing about buying a Fabia Classic is it has nothing serious to strip off

Nice, I reckon the Audi is a nice bet! The first step of tuning and bhp increase is to lose as much weight from the car as possible!

If James' Golf is anything to go by it's a very capable base car. Even thought that's a V6.

4x4 gives a lot of usability at the cost of a little fun and the tuning potential of the 1.8t is huge.

It won't have the nice balance of an MX5 though.

I swear to god this forum is going to kill my bank balance, you guys only fuel my buying of things :P

Why don't you come down to the Briskoda track outing at Brands Hatch on 3rd November before you make an impulse purchase?

Stripping a car makes money! Just the re assembly begins to cost

That^^^ I think there might be an MX5 going and also the Yeti is a version of the 1.8T with haldex so similar to an A3

Plus there will be a knackered Clio parked outside Brands too which you could turn into a track car too

I think you are onto something there, its easy to impulse buy and im terrible for it at the best of times. saying that,,, my mk2 fabia was an impulse buy and i dont regret it, but as this is an area i am unfamilar with i might well have to appear on the 3rd .

I'd gladly take you out in the yeti which is a 300bhp 4x4.

Haha, would be one to add to 'fastest car ive been in' since the fastest ive been in as of yet is a jag XF :P

Lol, he already said he likes the look of my furby, he was looking at the VRS mk2 until he read about the engine / oil issues. he was into his cars long before me as hes a little older, but he made the original mistake of buying a punto... before he corrected it and bought a fiesta st mk6

There might also be an ST MK7 there too if Richard brings that too
