Where are you from? When I was studying I bought a vw golf diesel I've still got it actually 180bhp and very cheap to run.
In the UK a Clio RS can be purchased for less than the cost of a dci. You should start a project thread. I like your wheels but those tyres must be expensive for racing and they're probably a bit heavy. You will get lots of good advice in this forum.
Whell actually I am from Eastern Europe, don't want to tell the country seying how everything got crazy on a facebook Renault Forum from UK. Don't really know why people judge me so bad just because I am from where I am. Still, a 1.5Dci here costs somewhere between 1000E (99'-2002') and 3500E. U cand find a golf 4 (if that is the one u are reffering to) in the same price range.
So a diesel golf 4 can be an alternative seeing how it is in the same price range, but I saw a project here on the forum with an 1.9Dci and it is quite interesting (that is the real reason I made an account here, didn't even known about this forum, never heard of it)
I will start a project thread after I will by my clio 1.9Dti.
Glad u like my wheels, they are BBS RV205 on Toyo Proxes T1S 205/40/16", they are quite a bit heavy but still, they performed quite good taking in consideration that the car is an everyday car with only a few modifications. The fact that it has 205 tyres gave me the advantage of almoust never loosing grip.
I'll try to have the same width of tyre on my future 1.9Dti (hopefully i'll find another set of wheels that are a bit lighter)
