in all seriousness though, what are you after? simply anything in that price range or a rwd/4wd car?

I think at the moment, pulsars, s14s and possibly a gts-t are my favourite choices. All nissans :S If I could get a good 4/4.5k for my RS then I could consider a sapph or something a bit rarer like a gto or something I suppose

There are only 2 reasons why i'm not keen o mr2s, thats they are quite popular, you see a lot down here, and also they do appear quite feminine (sorry to owners)

hmmm true.
Spec of mine is Front mount IC, Alloy Rad, Hybrid stage 1 T3, Full stainless, -31 actuator, 165 chip @ 10si, stage 3 big valve ported polished head, cossie breaks, and a few other things hear and there. RR'd at 151bhp and 174lbs/ft. The cars also had a repsray within the past 18 months and is verging on amazing condition inside and out.
Almost sounds like a sale!

Toyota Soarer Twin Turbo. Or Toyota Aristo Twin Turbo.
By a long shot.
Buy a tidy enough one for 2k tops, 280bhp as standard, and gives you 1500 or more to spend modding it.
Which isnt hard when a Soarer will do 500bhp on standard internals all day long from the 1J engine, and an Aristo even more so from the 2J, 1000bhp on stock internals if you fancy it (not for long tho, lol).
Auto they may be, but it doesnt matter, trust me. a genuine 400bhp and 180mph on an Aristo is just an exhaust, filters, and front mount intercooler away...
That, or you buys the same shit everyone else does which is slower but are worth that much as they are better known so command more money...

but to be fair mate, the Toyota Soarer Twin Turbo is a horrible looking car, i think he wants power and look. and the aristo aint the best looking car.
and sori to dig you but who wants an automatic

Ye sorry mate I couldn't enjoy auto half as much as manual! Just had a look at those two cars though and they're not overly attractive. To be honest I want something that stands out, has power but is still reasonably subtle lol

and they not stunners, but they a lot better looking than most the heaps of crap mentioned, and fuck, and RS Turbos and Saffs arnt exactly nice looking motors are they
they no ferrari, but i know id rather be seen in things like them than a fookin Escort or similar
