Isn't there a seat Ibiza copa or something with a 1.0 turbo ?
The Fiesta is meant to be a hoot too
Audi do the 1.4 turbo supercharged, that's a blast to drive, weird power band and torque

yeah was thinking of the the eco tec 1.0/1.2 turbo. looking at a cheap and cheerfull track day car. i make fibreglass panels so will be making light as fooook panels and repacing the windows seat ect ect ect. not looking at a massive boost build just a addapter plare onto the manifold to the turbo and a direct feed into the inlet. just some thing i can build cheap and have some fun with until the engine goes POP!!!

So it will be shit. Don't bother. Just make a 1.6 light and it will be a decent track car.

Not sure I'd class a 1.0t as a cheap track day car tbh.

May I predict 5 pages of bull-shit and a car that will never see a spanner.
I'm out.

i have a puma track car, 8 point role cage, custom suspension alterations. going to be fitting a supercharger and the lightest fibreglass panels i can make along with all the changes the car should be down to around 700kg and once i get ahold of a merc charger i should be pushing out the best part of 200bhp. i have a couple of puma engines lieing around so wont be that difficult to fit. now on my 4th corsa and love them to bits. thinking of having a short brake from the puma and make a daft car nothing major, no major money spent just a cheap fun car.
