But the handling is no where near as good as a 205, my mate Kelly's red top corsa was under steer city

Could you not drop the engine in a 205?

You can make a Nova handle, but you need to chuck a lot of money at them. My mates got a GTE and that's not bad but he's spent a lot Wink

Why though it's a lot of work when you can drop a mi16 or gti6 pretty much straight in

There was a guy ages ago on .net who dropped a C20LET into a 306, that was pretty mental...

My mates redtop Nova is like a little go kart. Coilovers, camber adjustment on the front and homemade chassis bracing.

The 306 with the LET in wasn't anything like that, it was late 200s, like 280 or so...

205, big blower XUD9 conversion, some suspension mods, handle better than the 328i, you can't go sideways on trackdays - you'll get kicked off, you know the 205 inside out, it'll be a LOT faster than a 328i, use less fuel, handle better for naff all money, be more WTF'esque, unless you've driven a big turbo XUD9 then you won't know what they're like...

Admittedly you'll need to work on the cooling side of the XUD9 in the 205, decent radiator, oil cooler, front mount... Done the right way, it'll be an awesome car...

You're not going to hit 140mph on many tracks with that little power anyway. And on the ones you can, you're not going hit it more than once, perhaps twice per lap.

However, there's a lot of corners, and you have to go around them all....


The only time not having enough power gets annoying is when you get stuck behind some arse who trickles around the corners and then plants it to stop you coming past on the straight, but it's a trackday, not a race, so just back off for a lap.
Then hit him with the tyre iron in the pits.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
