what to get next mk1 lcr or audi tt 225, decision made now got audi s3

[seatcupramad23]

ok after nreaking my leon cupra , want to get another project car , got together around 3500 now , and it seems lcr's are really cheap now , also tt's . dilema is really is there gonna be that much difference between lcr and my old lc , audi tt with 4 wheel drive on paper would of more potential but love to no your views guys ? no doubt more will say lcr being cupra.net

Depends on how many ££'s you will be spending on project car modifying
No Jap cars interest you? can make big power on some of these
If you have the time and the money and want to stay vag get a lcr convert it to 4wd and run a very large turbo on it. Not that many big turbo'd leons about.
Or if i was in your position an S4 then modify that

Come on Pete! you know the answer........... 4x4 Jap Turbo .........

wouldn't it be easier to mod a 4x4 1.8T or 2.8VR6 Leon?
Did any of these make it to the UK?

The TT's are a nice looking car and solid IMO, the quattro really makes a difference in the wet, but i hear a good amount of power is also lost through the drive train, not sure on percentages though, that and the word hairdresser pops into my head everytime i see a TT.

The LCR is alot more aggressive looking IMO with some good power to be harnessed.

 

[LEE69]

Yeah loads lost through the 4wd, of the mark be quicker, but once going a LCR should show who's king.

 

[Faisal]

there is definately a big difference between a lc and lcr, my heart would say get the lcr but my brain might say get a classic shape sti or even something like an evo 4 or 5 and start to mod that!

i wouldnt get a TT, as rsmith said - hairdressers car pops to mind

not looking to go mental with money this time , probably spend about 2-3k over a year period, ii had a mk1 s3 for a short period , was nice car but wasn't blown away by performance i must admit , it was a 210 model but even still i was expecting more

Come on Pete! you know the answer........... 4x4 Jap Turbo .........

i've been looking but don't think anything we beat my scooby with 446 bhp , i always fancied a evo 4 but they coming on in age now want a bit more refinement as well as performance ,, honestly mo i just don't no what to get it's doing my head in even consider renault megane 225 but heard not reliable

i here the comment about hairdresser car , but standard they look like a girls car but , witth alloys and collies and tints they look the bollocks, i even think in silver with the top half sprayed gloss black and the spoiler

 

[Mo Arif]

Mate, an later evo 6, 7,8,9 + are refined car's

A bug eye subaru is around 3.5-4K now, huge potential

 

[seatcupramad23]

never like bug eyes ones , i'm classic scooby guy really loved my old one spend so much money on that car was unreal well 10k spent , evo 6 are out of my price range if they weren't i would get 1

 

[oldskool]

Get an older impreza or evo, but if you HAVE to have either an LCR or TT, LCR everytime.

 

[seatcupramad23]

will test both lcr and tt i think before i make a decision , might end with jap you never no

 

[Allan_84]

what about the Audi TT mk1 3,2 v6? can you get that car in the uk?

 

[Mo Arif]

Evo 3 - £2 -£3.5K = Awesome old skool tool

Evo 4 - £2.5 - 4.5K

Bug Eye Subaru with front lights converted = £3.5-4K (Becoming a classic now, not many on the roads)

Nissan Pulsar GTI-R = 2 - 3.5K = Perfect project car

Mazda RX-7 = 3.5-5.5K = Machine


The 4x4 Haldex system is piss poor compared to real 4x4 on Jap car's....

 

[MOROalTT]

LCR or TT

TT are nice but all Audis have electrical problems unless the recalls have been done but they make stealth turbos using your OEM components to the tune of 400 HP right off.....

add a Haldex controller and your there I would add a down pipe and cat-back so the sound matches it speed

be careful though you can really get sucked into modding it.....

Shame we never got the 4x4 Leon in the UK.... This would be a more common sight...

[Harris.]

something completely different..............

Renault clio 172/ 182. Cheap money nowdays and they handle awesome. My best mate had one that he turbo'd, Was a low boost conversion running only 7psi but was 230bhp and rapid.

 

[Mo Arif]

For the amount of money you have, NOTHING will come close to a 4x4 Jap Turbo

And what if the Subaru owner spent the same amount of money as the leon owner did?
