Dunno, I could quite happily afford a serious motor if i could keep myself from serious modding. Right now it would probably be a tatty old 535d estate or a brand new peugeot 208 (the fastest diesel)

Probably another Audi 80, give them away these days and they are awesome cars. TDI does 65mpg, 2.8 V6 goes like a rocket, a 90 with a 5-pot sounds like a group B car Big Grin

I was saving for an EK civic Jordan when I bought my first Gti6, so would have probably ended up going down the jap vtec route TBH, still an itch I want to scratch.

+1 on diesel drifting, possibly the easiest drifting ever cos of the mountains of mid range torque.

So that's why the chassis is falling apart, they are those bits you speak of?


And on my defense, a, I made it a million times better by boosting it, and b, I only really broke the engine....
