pete1977

Definitely get a Celica GT4 ST165 for under a grand.. Might even get a tatty ST185.

gtir pulsar or mazda 323 turbo (not sure if 2l though), there was one on e bay last week, 12 hours left and £250.

good luck

No chance! The values of these soared recently Even a tatty on would set you back £3k and that'd be a very very tatty one Shame because I'd love one.

Toyota Townace according to "The Trader"

integrale 8 valve or 16 valve (ie non-evo's)

....trouble is what's cheap to buy usually ain't cheap to run.....

I would go for the Toyota GT4. The 3S-GTE is a very strong engine and seems to take high mileages. The box and diffs seem to survive well too.

Mines a high mileage one and it starts first time, and runs well

I personally wouldn't ever touch a cheap 'grale to be honest. Been there and still have the scars and mine wasn't cheap! It cost me a fortune in the end. It's still going strong though but it ought to with cash that I threw at it!

saw a legacy turbo for £1200 bit over your price range though

legacy turbo is cheap and good, gtir will be very tatty for that price and stupid on fuel and spares, quadra turbo's are very rare and few come up for sale. 323 is good but again not that many around and they are 1600 turbo's I think. What about a panda 4x4 with an uno turbo motor in it!!!!!! proper street sleeper rocket.

definitely a pulsar gti-r, seen quite a few for about a grand recently and theres one local to me now in black thats up for £1200

A £1000 BC5/BF5 Legacy might have a good bit of life left in it; itd be foolish to assume that a £1000 RNN14 Pulsar'd be able to get out of the car park.....

went out in a celica gt4 o n thursday,

it was ok but so heavy not in the same league as a pulsar, no real urgency or go, looked really nice, in black but had no guts

where's all these £1000 Pulsar gti-r's???

If you let me know I'll buy a couple!

Dave uk blue mica

i'll see the boy later mate if your interested in the one thats local to me, its H reg and in black, not sure about any mods but i know its up for £1200

pete1977

Can you pm me about this mate.im deffo interested.

Jamesemt

Unless the bloke is very very desperate for cash, a £1200 Pulsar is going to be a money pit...you have been warned!!

Gary C

Yep, they are quite slow (relativley). As the engine is about the same in the ST165 , 185 and 205 its quite easy to increase boost to the 250bhp of the 205 (my boost gauge goes off the clock in my 185 )

However I think they would be more reliable than a pulsar/cherry GTir. Toyotas of that era seem to last well.

My STi would slaughter my GT4, but I love how my GT4 handles.

You mean a sunny?
Its ok ,cheers for the replies but i purchased a s13 200sx today as it came up as a proper bargain(£450),not quite 4wd but im sure im gonna have some fun going sideways,lol.

Gary C

Ooops, yes a sunny

200sx's are great fun. I had one. S13 is the CA18DET engined one with pop up headlights ?

The valves can wear and i had to repair 5th but great fun. If you get axle tramp the rear subframe bushes can need replacing which Nissan don't sell but you can get aftermarket ones.

Have fun.

pete1977

yep thats the one gary.As i said to the wife today ,owning a sportscar with pop-up headlights is something everyman should do at least once in there lifetime.I got it so cheap as the bloke reckons the rings need replacing but i might have a look at the valves aswell,cheers mate.
