I owned a 98 UK DM DC2 - Comments above sums it up. great car. 16v Rallye wasn't far off it speed wise.
a well setup 106 rallye/gti is much more fun and better handling in my opinuin.
Just noticed your local to me as Im from Walsall!! Cant say Ive ever seen an EK9 in Walsall.
Dont get me wrong the 106's are fantastic little cars and handle great. But from personal experience they're problems are they lack power. A breathed up and cammed 16v will produce around 150bhp. Its going to pull but its never going to be able to compete with bigger cars.
ahh cool, where abouts in walsall you from?
yes these little cars are ''chuckable'' but its a hit and miss with them as its not gaurenteed there gonna handle the bends there chucking them into!
150hp in light chasis will be nippy just not as fast as most people think!
