£4000 budget.
Doesn't need to be sensible/economical.
Shall be using it every day but only do 18 miles a day.

Go.

 

I'd reccommend something with a 130pd vw engine remapped.
Got a fabia Vrs here and its a fantastic all rounder!

 

Focus st.

 

DC2 Integra type R

 

Decent Clio 172/182 with some change fore a few tweaks.

Everytime I play with one I walk away with a grin

 

Thats would be my choice to

 

I was looking at these late last year actually, lot of car for the money.

I'm thinking something more silly, like a 540i Beemer

 

Any other suggestions? The money is burning a hole in my pocket

 

E36 M3 all day long

 

Yeah? There's plenty of M3 Evo's for sale and they're too much, not many normal M3's!

Any of you had an MR2 turbo?

 

Had a 200 bhp rev 5 na mr2. Tbh I fucking hated it. Soooooo thirsty aswell

 

the first page on piston heads for m3s has these 2

Evo 4, best all rounder.

 

E46 330d. Get it mapped and you've a great all rounder

 

I've got an Mr2 turbo ATM, very underrated cars 300bhp with just a few tweaks if you buy a Rev3 turbo.

 

BMW 750 v12

 

blob eye Impreza wrx, aslong as you dont regret not paying more for an sti

 

As above a wrx with ppp is a superb daily driver put winter tyres on and they are fantastic in the snow, average low twenties mpg so not to bad.

 

This^^^ or an impreza STI

 

Can you get an Evo for that money? Thought they were more 5k+!


I just find Scoobies ridiculously chavvy

 

Only chavvy if stickered up or strange mods in my opinion.

 

ST220..though i may be slightly biased lol

 

good call

 

Not really quick enough I'm afraid, nice motors though!

 

A nicely modified rs turbo? Maybe not a series 1 with that budget but I'd definaltey consider a fiesta or series 2 with that figure.

 

Not a bad call, but reliable enough today?

Seriously tempted with an ST205 Celica.

 

Both fugly

E46 330 d and a remap sounds like a good shout if you can get them at that price

 

Could be a risk, but if its a good one with decent managment, uprated cooling and good wiring on it i see no reason why it couldnt be used often reliably. Celica sounds like a good call though, very under rated

 

My impreza should be going this weekend lol, in its place will be a diesel estate lol. Just cant decide what!

 

mates selling a DC2 for £2500

 

Get an e39. You could get a minty mint 530i or 530d for that money, great cars, good to drive and built like no other car.

 

UK spec or JDM?

There's no way on this planet I'll be buying a diseasle

 

My Mr2 is going to fund a Cossie.

 

Insurance on an MR2 turbo is ludicrous for me

 

Yeah it is expensive. Modified Turbo Japanese Import is pretty much as bad as it gets insurance wise lol.

 

Odd really because I can insure a GT Four Celica for peanuts!

 

not sure dude

 

Insurance is a weird one, I can get insured ok on a pulsair, rx7, celica gt4 or a dc2 teg, everything else is well into four figures!!! (like 5000+)
