What would you guys get with these things in mind...

As a rough guideline..

Needs to handle well with the addition of suspension being permitted
Needs to do the quarter in 15.0 or under as a rough guideline
No older than a 1998 but preferably 2000+

So far ive thought of a MK3 VR6 Highline, Honda Integra Type R, Civic Type R and thats all i can think of, wouldnt mind something jap if there's anything good about for that amount .

yer only got rear brace on so far and could feel the difference front brace will be on soon.

yer i know what you mean about cornering but again you have so much power you can just power away out of the bend.
im sure new coilies will help and arb ment to be really good.

If its handling you are after then you are going to be better buying a better handling car as standard. Will prob be better than a car thats been modified to handle better even in standard form

get a cheep saxo vts mate, will do the job well for a couple of
k's

If you wanna spend the full 6k get a clio sport, i love throwing mine round the country lanes. Handeling not that much better than a saxo TBH butthey feel soo much more stable at speed and the breaks are on another level. PLus thanks to vvt drive like a pussy and you can get nearly 40 mpg

clio 172
Integra Type R

Both 5 star evo rated cars and excellent out of the box.

Insurance could be a killer for someone your age though
