At MIDS-MODZ our main goal is to bring you what you want. We bring together modifiers, tuners and all general motoring enthusiasts together to form a healthy community both online and on the streets.

We attend all major shows throughout the year including camping trips, nightlife and full on entertainment! We also run trips to the infamous Nurburgring track throughout the summer giving you the chance to get some real motoring action out on the track!

As well as this we organise various other events throughout the year!

Our aim with the police is to bring racing off the streets and onto the tracks where real racers can prove their skills in safety.

As a fellow east midlander - Welcome :)

Should be able to get a decent 6 for that sort of budget.

If you see any online post up and we can advise;

If you can stomach passing over to the dark side of the Midlands and push your budget a little this may be worth a viewing;

Used Mitsubishi Lancer Saloon | Parkway Birmingham

As one of the desireable 6 TMEs

Also seems they get a few EVOs in so possibly worth a call

All EVO's can be tune and without spending mega bucks can get most of them to just short of 400bhp. After that you looking at spending alot more on conversions and turbo upgrades etc.

Keep shopping around and dont be afraid to haggle the price down as its a buyers rather than a sellers market for EVOs at present.

Good luck

This could be a steal if you prepared to take a gamble that it may only be a thermostat and/or head gasket. Had new belts, water pump and has Full service history but being sold as a non-runner but you would need to be sure from someone knowledgeable what it could be. In East Mids too I think;

You may struggle otherwise to get an 7/8 for 6K but certainly a 6 is gettable with 6K
