you will need to travell to find a good car, simple as. 5k won't get you a huge spec or a minter, but a great usable car.

5k can get you an extremely clean car mate.

Id look for a just rebuilt one, especially if done by a respectable tuner.

Theres a smokestone one here does anyone know it?

I think i stroke luck with mine!
First one i went to see, about 40 mile away. Not mint, but pretty good, a few good bits (avo coilovers, stage 1, mongoose ETC) and i only paid Ł3800!
Just keep an eye out, and search ebay with different things, i found mine listed as a "saphire cozzy" or something similar!
