mk2 here. mk1 would get the vote, except for the far greater chance of being rusty / bent / expensive to fix when something goes wrong.
another mk2 vote, i've had a mk1 GTI tracdk car first but the shell got beyond reasonable repair so switched to a mk2 16v. cheap to buy a 16v, junk the interior, drop in a 9A/ABF on the k-jet and slap on some eibach ARB's, great track car for very little money, cheap and easy to buy spares/replacement panels for, or if you do stack it a new shell can be bought easily.
I'd say a mk2. Pick one up for peanuts. Easy to get second hand spares for (I'm thinking body panels etc) and parts be dead cheap too.
i went for a rallye, after doing out in Dubvelopments 20v T rallye is bloody awsome...and will be bigger and better this year. 0-60 in 4.3 secs, 13.4 1/4 mile sill fast around thr track and still waiting for handling mods i the track car depends on how much you want to spend
I voted mk2 as well.... The mk1 is quicker with the same kind of mods (2L 16v etc etc..) but its hard to find a good one for little money & then there is the problem with parts availability if you do ding it... The mk2 is cheap & cheerful, & relatively cheap to mod for track use & the standard brakes are superior to the mk1s..
Hi I would have mk1 golf if they were more readily available as with most, but mk2 golf is a good choice, becos i wouldnt be so fussed about it getting knackered, taz
My bro's mate has a sierra 4x4 sleeper. Right pile sh!t it is. Feck me, does it go some..? Be careful in the derby notts A52 area cos he will kick your ar$e.
It's a 4x4 or different engine? If it's a 4x4 it's less powerful,heavier and more transmission losses than the mk2
My bro informs me that it isn't a 4x4. Although he has one of those too. Its a 1.6 stripped, caged with 3.1 scorpio engine. Was 2.9 but bored and tuned. It sounds like a nascar Dont have anymore details other than it doesn't take to kindly to accl mid bend
No need to be sarcastic, your rapid and my rapid are obviously different I used to own a Sierra XR4x4 anyways One of the only cars I've ever sold for a profit
sarcasm is kinda hard to pick up t'internet, needless to say, you are obviously in more of a position to commment on track days than me and i wasnt being sarcastic well maybe a little
