RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Piggy - 01-01-2013
S16...all day every day every week every month every year.
best 306 ever. Possibly best fwd ever
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Blandy - 01-01-2013
Ive had 2 gt4's and 2 mr2 turbos Gt4's are cracking cars but are thirsty on fuel tyres brakes etc compared to a 306 anyway, they are tuneable the st205 being the better car with 240bhp easily tuned to 300-320 before needing engine opening just depends what you want from a car i guess. From experience the toyotas are very reliable
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - sam - 01-01-2013
I want one more than the s16 or a 6, tyres and brakes will be ok as I work at kwikfit
and I want the dt to be the last 306 I have for while so I want to make mine good before I get I sell it :/ plus there different but I wamt a bodied 2.1 s16......
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - GTI 6 - 01-01-2013
Ph1 Gti 6 FTW
Got a white ph1 gti 6 coming in soon if your interested
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - cwspellowe - 01-01-2013
f*ck off the 306's and plump for a GT4. As said, ST205's are very capable cars, even more so the WRC spec with antilag as standard <3
DO IT!
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - ozonehostile - 01-01-2013
if you get a gt4, i have a decat titanium straight through exhaust from a celieca wrc car, also loads of suspension bits and the twin turbos with manifold
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Andy - 02-01-2013
S16...
And with the money you save from not buying the GT Four.
Turbo the S16 x)
You know it makes sense!
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - sam - 02-01-2013
I know what your saying andy but whos going to buy a turbo s16 for 4k when I want to come to sell it? With a gt4 st205 which are holding there money well parts arent to bad on price plus the handling is insane and you want more power bolt a stage 1 turbo kit a boom 380/390 hp plus turboing a fwd car to that power you might aswell have arms like I buses to keep it straight and trust me I dont as I like my maccy d's to much
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Piggy - 02-01-2013
think you have already decided matey
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - sam - 02-01-2013
Nope just putting out a point that I wouldnt turbo an s16 just boidie it but leaning towards the gt4 though
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - cwspellowe - 02-01-2013
GT4's are 4wd are they not?
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Just Sean - 02-01-2013
Gt4 then buy ozones bits!!
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Ruan - 02-01-2013
GT4s just aint all that unless you actually are going rallying...
It's too much of a serious car... An S16 you're able to explore the limits of the car without triple figure speeds... I've always said this about cars, Imprezas, Evos, stuff like that is ALL the same... If you're getting to the point where you're exploring the car on a public road, you're being f*cking stupid...
A friend of mine has an MR2 Turbo - same engine, admittedly RWD, but even so, it's probably ~320hp, but it's to the point where you put your foot down and instantly you're breaking the law... It's boring to me to have THAT much power with a chassis that can probably cope with another 100hp on top and still be within its comfort zone at 120mph+... I'd MUCH rather have a 306 where you can chuck it down twisties and if you want you can put your serious face on and attack it, if you want you can leave the throttle trailing and have the lovely french hatch-esque tail tuck in as you corner... At MUCH more legal speeds...
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Frosty - 02-01-2013
Get a S16. There are pretty cheap to pick up, i only paid £200 for mine
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - sam - 02-01-2013
Fair point ruan but I want to get out of the french side of cars and explore with jap as I cant stand german as there really really boring and I want to staty doing track days to.... but I dont want to finish on the dt and want an s16/gti6 bit for the sake price for the bits for a 306 for what I want you can gain more with a gt4 :/
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Midnightclub - 02-01-2013
My mate had a GT4... it's been on his drive for the last few months whilst he's been breaking it.. spent a stupid amount on it and got f*ck all back.. Bottom end went on it... paid over £700 for a low miler engine to be sent over from japan.. not a month later and the bottom end is gone.. IMO not reliable at all.
That said, in a straight line that thing was rapid, 0-60 even in the wet must've been around 5 seconds, it'd spin up all 4 wheels in the dry no problem but it just didn't feel that 'fun' in the corners, sure it gripped but it just didn't feel fun til you were going sideways or going silly speeds..
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - sam - 02-01-2013
Hmmm true dont think I could wait untill a new engine from japan as I have a shourt fuse haha im pulling my hair out and I blew my turbo up a week ago

Tbh my mates old 300 hp gt4 couldn't get away from me anyways! Did sound Fooking awesome though
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Ruan - 02-01-2013
Of course the bottom end went bang - it's a 3S-GTE...
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - sam - 03-01-2013
That amswers thay one then im not getting a car if the bottom end goes often

Eh?! These engines can run 300bhp no problem. Apparently, upwards of 400bhp is possible on standard bottom end with an aftermarket ecu/proper tuning. I would imagine neglect and pleb tuning is what causes the blown engines.. Unless there is something in particular I am missing?
RE: Stuck on my next choise of car :/ - Tom - 03-01-2013
Forgive me for being dumb here but whats better about an s16 compared to a '6 or a Wallye?
Also my input. EP3 CTR. Sorted
