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

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

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.

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

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+)
