dont remind me, (sniffle Sniffle)

Gaz, you've got money to burn why don't you go all out and get ferrari mate, your wages mate you'll pay it of within a couple of years! Get a sleeper car mate!

Recon its gotta be something different to the Civic - after all, its the same sort of car as the 206, smallish FWD hot hatch - youd end up with 2 similar cars.

Id go for something with a smile factor, meaning for me it would have to be RWD, what about finding a decent mk1/2 escort shell and fitting a 2.0 16V Vauxhall lump?

turbo/supercharge you'd 206 instead?

get some kinda 4wd system in it that the 206 rally cars use?

turbo is like £3000 for 20bhp not really worth it man - and have u seen my enigine bay not much room there!! ah who knows it will deffo be a spare of the moment thing!

Would you buy an accident damaged car then get it all fixed up with a nice powerful engine?

If you go ahead with the 206 - what about a Cossie motor and 4x4 conversion

Seen it done on a rally car that was testing at Oulton park, basically, you get an escort Cossie, and cut the floor off, do the same to the pug! Then you weld the pug shell to the Escort Floor - minimal chopping needed as the cars are apparently quite similar - 4x4 206 / Cossie hybrid and this is apparently the easiest way to do it

would you really want to ruin an Escort Cosworth though!!

isn't the pug fast enough as it is anyway gaz? how about more NOS??

Get a rolled one Shell isnt needed, just the running gear and floorpan

Dimma made a Cossie powered 4x4 206, so it can be done!

im not rippin out a brand new 5000 mile old engine to put an old one in cossie or not - warranty and all that boys!! maybe get anoda 206 like an old 1.1 and put the cossie engine in it!! have 2 super quick ones then!

thought about an austin mini?
twin rear mounted turbo'd hyabusa engines with rear wheel drive?
possibility of 400bhp+ in a car weighing as much as a box of rice krispies. that the ultimate street sleeper!
