and something like my 2.9 24v granada you can pick up for 500 to 700 quid, probably not in the condition of mine though, not quick off the line but good fun when there rolling, good for 140mph +

i have had a 106 gti and it was fun and chuckable but fook me get real they won;t do what a 24 valve senator or carlton gsi will do,or a tatty boosted rs turbo or a volvo t5 or saab 9000 turbo,i have been in a saab 9k turbo doing over 160 and i wasn't driving i was praying it wouldn't do anything daft.
can you find mr2 turbos for a bag ??? they would murder a 106 gti they would and so would a impreza wrx or legacy rs twin turbo.

i once had a k reg (coil packed) renault 21 turbo when i was younger paided 4500 for it back in the day lol cheap as chips now but about as quick as a standard cosworth and a very nice car u get a hell of a lot for your money! and before i get all the renaults are shit and always go wronge and the cosworths are much faster lol i had it for 3 years and it never let me down and i replaced it with a cosworth!

Bmw,saab turbo or a T5 for that price range and straight line speed for me,I would be surprised to find a Calibra turbo for that money and GSI Carltons are a bit thin on the ground now I would of thought.Ooh I forgot about the fiat coupe,good call.
