Thinking of bailing out on my ED30!!!!

[RedRobin]

But id be willing to bet that with them in standard form and with equivalent power to weight as Hurdy's ed 30, they would be better to drive and much quicker, plus the modding scene is huge and varied with so many different routes to go.

....Certainly. 

I've driven a standard Evo X and it's awesome when driven hard but the build quality feels poor whether it is or not - But if it's stripped out it doesn't matter.

[Janner_Sy]

exactly, he wants to strip it out, so german interior quality isnt needed.

instead he needs really competent chassis and there aren't many more competent than the Evo or Impreza. 

what evo x was it you drove, i had a short  slowish drive in my friends evox 300, wasnt overly impressed with the power, but the steering was sublime  makes the mk5 chassis seem numb in comparison

Was a blue 330(?) SST. The flappy paddles were too smooth shifting - I couldn't easily tell when she shifted but the 'which gear' display was good except that you don't want to be even glancing at instruments if driving hard imo.

Until I drove one it was the only car I was interested in possibly moving to. But, yet again, after only driving a few miles again in my GTI I know I'm well satisfied - She's a keeper.

Mazda mps6

audi s4

S4s are really heavy though and the MPS has a limited tuning market as well.   that said i do like the 6MPS

s4 is 1650kg i think, so about 100kg more than the evo, not bad for vag as such, bet alot of that will be in the electric seats!

you want RWD or AWD this haldex stuff will not do but thats just my thoughts  go take out an AWD car they are awesome 

[Janner_Sy]

plu sif you want to strip it out you dont ant to be buying VAG as the interiors are to nice. At least with a jap car its not such a shame

[jonnyc]

Jap has been done over and over.. Plus (with the exception of the R35) they pretty much all look like distasteful chav rockets and the build quality is terrible!

You can go as far as you want on any car out there.. Im flying someone out from America soon to make a manifold for mine, just depends how much you wana play really!

Get something no one else has done yet, surely thats going to give you more enjoyment having something that no one else has?

[MAT ED30]

build quality does not matter as its all coming out of the car he says  so it makes better sense to have a lighter 4wd car that is built for the job ie a rally car

[Aparoon]

I have to agree with staying away from subarus and evo's, I have never driven either but I will still never own one  

I think the turbo'd r36 idea would be nice  

[MAT ED30]

turbo r36 is just silly its still a big fat vag car and its going to cost big money to do and yes it would be great but if its going to be gig mtr y not go rs4 and turbo the bugger 4.2 turbo  it will kill a ttrs

Whatever you buy Hurdy, make sure you fit a blueflame exhaust on it or you WILL upset our matt
