Small Turbo EsCos engine has no lag at all, and u can get 300hp and 30+mpg. Think u'd like my rst in it's current guise - on boost at under 2.5k, with over 200hp.

I agree with porkie 100% jim, you could sell that car you have put your mod money to it and get a evo or scooby. £10000 all in will buy you an 1998 sti scooby, with change for insurance and a couple of small mods.

Or you can pour £5-£6000 into a car worth £1000 tops.
