Got an RS Liberty with a new full built forged engine.. new gearbox, clutch etc. tuned by APC in bris for 190 kw!

dude have you even looked at carsales? get anything that doesn't have more than 3.5l. generally cars with smaller engines will handle better these days.
what kind of car? if you need awd of rwd then you'r probably wanting something japanese or european. skyline, rx7, rx8, 350z etc. all great cars. you choose. not us. we don't know your exact preferences. -------------------- "Signature your on it put, backwards this read to enough dumb were you if."

If you really mean hill climbs then get something small, FWD Starlet or Civic for 20-25k would make a seriously quick Hill Climb car. If you are talking more mountain runs then a WRX/EVO is your best bet.

the only way I'd ever buy a new car is if it had a long warranty, pity Hyundai's aren't on my looks list, but the 5yr warranty they dish out is why if I had to buy a new car I bloody well would
new car as in brand new or another car which is new for you? if it's a 2nd hand car, shit man 25k is alot of money hey, I wouldn't need half of that is this a 2nd car? will you be wanting full comp ins? are you on your p's?

Are you the topic starter? if you are why do you have 2 accounts? if not I was talking to him...
If you want to waste money on an Evo paying top price for its extra's go right ahead, it was only a suggestion. |

Buy an NA MX-5 for about 10k (maybe less), then build the fuck out of it with the rest. Same could be said for a AW11 MR2, but it'll be an even cheaper starting price and more money for mods. Definitely cooler than buying a stock Evo or something.
That or get a Clubman that I mentioned before. |

Umm it is legal to do it... just cost a bit cause all the stuff is done in the USA so you have to import parts from there and they have to be converted from left hand drive to right hand drive.
I thought its because of the salt air over there -------------------- |
