Hi all
I currently drive an Audi RS4 (B5) with a number of mods (470bhp and 486ft lbs :rasp
I'm looking into getting a Track Car, and these little blighters always seem to crop up in discussions about a good cheap/honest car for some track fun.
I'm not new to track days, but find the RS4 too damned heavy and costly on consumables (tyres at £150 a corner, front discs at £350 a pair, front pads at £200 a set, etc etc), so want to get something a little more fun and sensible while at it.
No fixed budget as such, but would be looking for a modded car (suspension, zorst, air filter, brakes, stripped or partially stripped interior, aircon delete, etc), so basically ready to go. As much as I love having projects on the go, just makes sense buying the car with the money already spent on it.
Question though - these cars are run ragged on track of course, but assuming they're cared for and serviced very regularly, how do they fare on mileages? Any issues with cars over say 80k+ miles ?
Cheers all.
BTW I'm based down in Kent - anyone with a modded Clio that wouldn't mind showing an enthusiast/petrolhead their 'ride' would be appreciated.
