Looks like I'll be after a cheap SRi then! Shouldn't be too hard to find (hopefully), so will start lookin in the local papers as soon as I get a few more wage packets in! | |

Yes, I am looking into this also. But I don't want an old dog. I don't one with a rotting chassis. | |

I'd go for a 1.4 SRi. Comes with most things u need, brakes/suspension/engine are gonna be changed anyway, and there as cheap as chips now. PLus, the earlier u go for, more likly to have a cable speedo and not an electric one, plus will ahve the rev counter etc etc. | |

Get and Sri then. Can get them from K plate onwards (so can gte one for cheap). Have a fuel pump big enough to use with the 2.0, have the roll bars, better vented brakes (although you'll want to change them anyway), and a decent interior (seats have the raised bolsters for better support), but dont have any electrics or p/s, so there lightweight :thumbs:. | |

suspension isn't really an issue, as will be ditched for a set of coilovers & a 60mm drop | |

thats why am not sure, i could probs get something like that, but finding one like that with no exterior or chassis damage is near impossible round my end, and is why I'm considering a lowly merit | |

^^ Agreed, as you will have better susp. than standard, and the anti-roll bars | |
