What Car Should Mike Buy?

[lilmike86]

hey everyone,

having a few thoughts about my next car. i know i said i wanted the mx-5 but i cant decide. i want something for hill climb events. so i'm purely after performance opinions here. i have about 16k to spend on this project atm, but i may be able to squeeze more.

my original idea was a Mazda MX-5 with a cosmo 20BTT and a widebody. i dont care if you think its a hairdressers car, not what i'm asking. another option was another GTi-R, owned one before my 33. to be honest, i dont really know what i want. i dont really want a 32 gtr, purely for the fact that everyone rates them so highly. i want something a little different, but i wont rule it out yet.

if you know of any other cars that would be suitable then please let me know. i have about a month to decide.

thanks guys

edit: no front wheel drives! too boring

u should buy my hj60 landcruiser...$1000 lmao yes it is a shameless plug

what about a starlet gt turbo? and mod it to buggery (although they're thin on the ground since they cant be imported anymore)

[lilmike86]

dont want a front wheel drive. rear or awd/4wd

Bah @ you Michael

a hillclimb car with 16k budget?....GTIR FTW

[Konrad]

what about a s1-3 rx7 with a 13B convo, or get one of those s5 rx7 convertibles, rip the auto out, and strip it to buggery theres your nearest thing to a re-mx5

or a suzuki cappichino with a blown clevland 351 that'd work

[Anquetil]

GTIR.

wouldnt the first one defeat the purpose of the buying? why not just get the mx-5 and do the conversion. also they cost a fortune. and you gotta have some luxuries

suzuki cappachino is FF isnt it? wait no, thats the daihatsu copen. still, pointless. i'm putting hardtop on the mx-5 if i get it so i'm not really after a convertible as such.

[Konrad]

what about a mini then? with a starlet gt motor

[lilmike86]

again, its FF. need a rear wheel drive

[Konrad]

bah

[lilmike86]

also, the sprinters cost way too much to get to a decent level of performance. hence why i picked the mx-5 over them

[WogsRus]

i know this is a bit left side, but an uncomplied Stagie RS 260. LOL now that i would like to see

[Einstein]

it was a tossup between the 34 gtt and the 32 gtr

i picked the 34 purely for comfort and style (and age, less shit to break as soon)

[D-limo]

Take into account a cross-mission set for the GTI-R box and it dosen't seem quite as cost effective..

Go the 20B MX-5... would be absolutely nuts

[gun32gtr]

one reason why people tell ya gtr are so good... cause they are.. im racing mine in hillclimbs,supersprints this yr.cant wait either.

although with 16k budget maybe the gtr not the best option 4 u as id want tp pay 20k for a good 1....
