Tuner car starting point in SA recommendation?

[RaeezN]

Hey guys.

Looking to start my car journey with a not so boring car for around 60-80k haha

Let me know what you guys suggest

 

[Vinnige Fanie]

Ford Fiesta ST150
Polo 1,9 Tdi
Bmw E46 330i
Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8t or 1.9tdi

 

[RaeezN]

Those are awesome! The 1.9tdi especially

lol the perks of getting one of those

 

[dhirennaidoo]

Yup at that price, a TDi is going to have the best "tunability". Just remember even old lady driven TDi's can mean a sticky VNT mechanism.

If it's going to be a daily then TDi gets my vote any day of the week. Just inspect what you can before buying like camshaft lobes, flywheel, control arm bushes. Get a VCDS log of injector quantity deviation values.

Are you going to see track\strip?

Ok, so fun daily?

I've also seen a few Accords floating around the R100K mark. High mileage of course. I'm not familiar with the Hondas, but it's supposed to have some nice K24 engine right?

Isn't there a rule that it has to be a Tazz or Mk1 Golf for the first tuner car ? I'm sure that's a rule.

Yeah checking those too. Getting it at 280000km doesn’t seam ideal [emoji1787]
