Quote from danthebangerboy :

So what happened to the 'my first car, whats your recommendations' thread, it appears to have a rather large padlock on it now, as by looking at it he didnt find a car as yet as far as i could see.

I think it was closed due to it going for a couple of months, time in which nothing was achieved. That or the OP asked an admin to close it for the same reason I mentioned above.

If you're gonna post the 500, then you might as well show the old mini as well.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Shadowww gets 18 infractions for spamming the same image 19 times (the first time was ok). So he won't be posting here for a while.

Oh and: 255

Thanks for that! Was getting annoying, and the worst part was that we told him to stop it but he continued. Serves him right.


It's a Messerschmitt Me 262

Quote from speedway :

I hardly found any information on the B1 class. We dont even have that class here. What are the limitations concerning power, engine displacement and top speed?

B1 subclass: auto vehicle with three or four wheels who's mass exceeds 400 kg but not over 550 kg, and equipped with an engine bigger then 45 cm3, or with a top speed trough construction bigger then 50 km/h.

Quote from Shadowww :

Hi there haters.

Making friends and changing the general impression on you, aren't we?

Quote from Forbin :

So... they allow 16 year old kids to drive Atoms, Sevens, and Radicals but won't let them on a bike bigger than 125cc?

Basically yes...

Had a look at the zcars website, although I think I checked it before in the past. The Monte Carlo is too extreme and both it and the Hayabusa Mini are too small for my liking.

What really cached my eye was their Lotus Elise. It weighs 700 kgs and although that means that it exceeds my weight requirement, I think the specs are for the Series 2.

"Looking at the standard car its obvious that weight needed to be shed" indicates that they are talking about quite a huge drop in weight, something which could have been done only with the Series 2 which weighs around 950 kgs while Series 1 is already around 725 kgs.

I think it is possible to get a Series 1 Elise to B1 specifications because from what I've seen, they replace the front and rear standard subframes with tubular ones. That alone saves on quite a lot of weight.

I've sent them a message to clarify if the specs on their page are for a modified Series 2 and if it would be possible to modify a Series 1 accordingly.

Quote from Rocket47 :

Umm, little mistake there, it says that Zoom Competition and Zoom Competition 1 have got points, but we only have one team that has got points, and that is that Zoom Competition. Zoom Competition 2 hasn't got any points yet. So remove that Zoom Competition 1 and remove their points to Zoom Competition... If you know what I mean..

It's fixed now.

Results updated after round 4.

Quote from Shotglass :

you sure about that? from my knowledge any car without an immobiliser is fair game on the balkan (knowledge taken from someone whos spent plenty of time there so its not just cliche) and i doubt that trackday cars have very sophisticated anti theft equipment
id guess that for a 30k easy to steal track day car youll be looking at rather high insurance premiums

That's a bit of a stereotype, really. Romania has never really been a car theft paradise. Actually, the only country here stereotypically know for that is Bulgaria but that was also quite while ago.

Besides, just about any burglar out here only goes for the radio, which won't be a problem since a Caterham or just about any B1 car for that matter doesn't have one.
And even if they planned on stealing it, they wouldn't get very far with a car that has no steering wheel

Quote from Jakg :

Most countries aren't quite as evil as the UK insurance wise.

Was about to say that. The eastern-block countries are actually quite friendly. Insurance won't be a problem for me.

Thanks to all for replying!

Due to the weight requirement, I also didn't found too many cars, hence why I made this thread in the hope that someone might point me to one that I missed. Unfortunately I can't scrap the rule, since only a car that weighs between 400 and 550 kg falls in the B1 category which comes with some advantages.

Lower taxes, lesser requirements, etc. since a B1 isn't considered a fully fledged car (quite ironic when you think that most B1s are capable of out performing most high end sport cars) and I'd be a hypocrite if I wouldn't mention that the best advantage is that a 16 year old can drive it...which will be my age in approximately 4 months or so.

I now what you're thinking now, another hot shot, teenager that will hit the nearest tree within the first kilometer he gets in a car. Although I can't prove you otherwise, I assure you that I'm mature enough to know best then break the law. It's immature, irresponsible and not to mention dangerous.

I have done the local karting league a bit too many times and have moved to the odd autocross and hillclimb event here and there in which I have used an AXR buggy. Currently studying for my driving license and will start school in a month. Apparently the car I shall be driving on is another buggy, hence why I'm not particularly worried about the driving test itself and mostly studying the theory, signs, road rules, etc.

Anyway, to make a long story short, since I have this opportunity to drive myself to this events and spare my father wasting a day doing nothing, plus cut on the transport cost (not to mention getting a chick magnet :tilt, I will profit from it. Also being able to stay dry for once when rain decides to come by and pay me a visit would be rather nice

Now I'll sincerely and respectfully ask you to abstain from making any remarks on my age and I'd really appreciate it if you'd stick to helping me find a car

My best option so far is a Caterham with the weather equipment package. Then again, I could get a cheaper and faster car from Westfield. I reckon the Caterham weather package could work on a Westfield since they're technically the same car.

Quote from Klutch :

Got to admit, they are a good engine when they don't decide to randomly explode.

That's the thing, less moving parts should mean higher reliability when, from what I've seen, it isn't the case. Therefore cool actually

Added two extra rules to better explain what I'm looking for.

Quote from CSU1 :

BASTARD LMAO - you got revenge ! ! !

Serves you right for stealing my 69 joke on page one!

Hey, lads! I'm currently on the look out for a fairly cheap and fast track-like car. The problem is that other then Lotus 7 kit-cars, there aren't really too many cars out there that fulfill my requirements:

-it has to weigh between 400 and 550 kgs
-it has to be road legal
-it has to be decent (bugs and old 500s are definitely not valid options for me, minis might make it)
-should not require any protective gear such as a helmet or leather jacket, preferably impervious to weather conditions (thus closed cockpit)
-should have atleast 2 seats
-my budget is at around 25 000 - 30 000 euros. Nevertheless post anyway even if it doesn't fit in my budget, I won't say no to admiring a car even if I can't afford it

Thanks for helping out!
