Interested to hear from people with experience tracking any of the above. Need a cheap beater for circuit work, Budget £6-7k. Had a 350z DE and currently have a 370ZN so no interest there, trying to keep things under 2 litre displacement with emphasis on light weight (<1150kg). High maintenance cars like E36 M3 not really of interest.
Was initially interested in the Integra DC5 but prices has risen rapidly in the last six months (+£2-3k) and many are now north of £10k which is stiff money for a ten year old imported honda.
RS Clio is looking like a good bet around this price range but not driven one yet, would appreciate guidance on the 197s.
VX220 mostly out of budget but it seems like good value and wouldn't need any additional modification.
Abarth 595 on the list (mostly £10k+) because they're small, quick and silly fun. Expensive parts and servicing putting me off, along with seemingly chocolate build quality.
Suzuki SS might be warm rather than a hot hatch but having hired a track prepped one at the nurburgring am now fully aware of what they can do with slicks!
S2000 because of that engine and no stability control but appreciate it's not really designed for track work.
Cheers,
DT
