Guest Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Wanted: A car for my mate Phil He's after a very high-spec car, he'd hate it to be slower than my Megabusa! There's no rush, as long as we get another car by february. I'll be maintaining and servicing it, so another Megabusa would be great, but he's also interested in a CEC with a modern engine setup. Here are the thoughts: * Aeroscreen * EFI * MUST be eligible for SS (happy to do some tweaks) preferably in same road-going class as my megabusa * MUST be a westfield, no cheaper alternatives allowed! * Not a V8, looking for a lighter weight car Other than that, looking for suggestions! In respect of budget, he's pretty flexible - its more important to get the right car. I'd say he's probably happy to pay up to £17k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu999 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The daddy... One aeroscreen and some sticky tyres and he will be in the same class. I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hoo hoo, now that would be intresting, a 250bhp VX against a Busa .... Hmmm What do you reckon Perksy (he says knowing full well what he will say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stanton Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 or this one is a bargain Car for SS and with some tweaking could be competitive in F without emptying your bank balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 You could spend that throwing away the vauxhall ! ( Sorry, don't want to start a war, but in my albeit limited driving career the only thing that ever let me down was a 2.0 VX in a 4 year old vectra, completely cooked - oil starvation from blocked pickup ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 How much heavier is an aeroscreen CEC than a BEC anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Sorry, don't want to start a war, but in my albeit limited driving career the only thing that ever let me down was a 2.0 VX in a 4 year old vectra, completely cooked - oil starvation from blocked pickup ) That's probably because it wasn't an XE engine, the newer Vectra engines are pants IMHO of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
