Fee - this is your fault...
I want a cheaperish trackcar to use more regularly than the skyline, and so I dont get acused of breaking 'my' car for Fee's racing 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1995 M3 - track prepped
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/746637.htm
decent spec etc for a turnkey track car, would pref a diff colour and 3doors though
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997 S2 1.6 8v 106 rallye
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/746637.htm
nice colour etc... cheaper to run/maintain which is a bonus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997 306 GTi6
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/703797.htm
I like it... good spec, but enough left to do to keep me busy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honda ITR
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/748005.htm
bit of work needed...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
205 GTi 1.9
fond of them, but seems a bit daft buying a very similar car to the one we sold a wee while ago for about double the price
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/746967.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1989 Corrado 16v
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/735935.htm
Not really track oriantated, so potentially a lot of work...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want them All!!!
BUT i really think i want one of these...

SUBARU IMPREZA TYPE RA (1997)
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/326744.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
wrx sti type r 2 door (1997/R)
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/676795.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBARU IMPREZA STI V4 IN STUNNING WHITE (1997)
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/757381.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
just aware of the extra costs in running these hard on track compared to lightweight hatch for example! 
a stripped and caged Impreza is sounding good though... I cant do all the cage pish myself etc and weight saving is Free!

For cheap thrills and sheer hoon factor, the 106! But I'm newly biased Stick a 16v in there, get some tb's on it and it will shame most of what you've just shown! But for a slightly sensible option, I'd say the RA.

Yeah I've seen your 205 before, so you wouldn't get another? Personally I would try and get that clio for cheaper, nice little weapon, or the 106

I loved the 205.... but just think I'd get tired of another. Maybe not.
We used to have an Impreza but didnt really give it much stick. A few trackdays etc.
I just have a feeling a hot hatch is going to be too slow, with not enough (cheap) scope for going faster.
An M3 / Impreza etc is fast before you tinker.... a 106 rallye is going to be fighting a losing battle in that aspect. You'll have to spend a fair bit to keep up with a basic trackspec impreza. (decent drivers in both cars of course)
Fee currently laps KH about 10s a lap quicker than a 205Mi16 (not mental spec or anything)..... I think I (we)'d want something thats not much slower than the skyline.

Why not one of them?
Quick, brilliantly balanced and won't be slow!
