A mate is after something for around five grand.

He loves turbos so it gotta be turbo'd, so what would you be lookin at

Cheers

 

I'm biased, but a Skoda Octavia vRS (2001 model) should be attainable for £5K, I'd think

 

UK MY99 Impreza.

 

theres a mid 300 bhp impreza for sale on here for that! its a classic with a load of mods.. (i'm sellin it lol)

 

you'd get one hell of an S14a for that money.
astraboy.

 

My buddy is selling a nice stealthy Astra SRi Turbo (debaged looks like a standard SRI/SXI)for less than that on an 02 plate. dyno verified 212bhp and yes it does go, hives my 270-280bhp a right run for its money

 

For the third time this week - Fiat Coupe.

 

200SX

 

You could have a 300WHP Volvo 850R for that!

 

GTiR ??

 

200sx, 2 grand on a good condition car, 3 grand left for mods.

 

either an Octy vRS or a 200SX

 

Mazda : MAZDA 323 GTR VERY RARE THE CLEANEST EXAMPLE seems a bit much price wise but you get the idea.toyota mr2 turbo rev 3 but i think i would still crash this.

you said turbo for 5k lol!!!distinctive cars york : NISSAN FIGARO 1.0 Turbo convertable

best drivers car bar the skyline according to evo magazine Wigan Sports and Prestige : Nissan 300 ZX 3.0 V6 Targa Auto Twin Turbo

 

My RX7 in the for sale thread

 

944 Turbo
Volvo S60 T5 + chip = 300 plus bhp
Pretty much any Saab turbo, very tunable, depends on how many bends there are in his area.

Be careful with any turbo'ed car purchase, but especially careful with the Fiat.

 

Thats gets my vote

 

I'm stripping my S14a for track use at the moment, can't wait to get out there.

Bought new for 5.9k. Slight prang, insurers wrote off, cost me £50 to repair Bought back off insurance, they paid me 5k (took out recovery and buyback and excess) which has covered safe/reliable 300bhp and associated brake and suspension mods

 

I have emailed him a link to this thread

Keep your suggestions coming. I'd like to see him in an sti obviously but I think its going to have to be jap of some sort really.

 

R33 GTS-T 2.5 single turbo Skylines on sub 40k miles are available for that money.

 

As several others have said... 200SX...

I've got a tweaked S14a and it's a cracking car!

 

That's for an S13 though, you'd not get a good S14 (let alone an S14a) for that money...

My mate has a mint S13 in red, tidy ones are getting rare now though

 

get that bitumen sound deadening ripped up, it weighs loads, I've taken some out of mine...

 

Yeah, I kinda plan to, its just such a bitch of a job!

 

mine came up easier than expected...

just the passenger side footwell, which aint a massive area, weighs over 3kg, so stripping it from the whole car will save you a decent amount of weight, as you aint going to be bothered about sound deadening on a track car

 

Gets a definite from me. Looks and the revs from the rotary engine.... You cannot go wrong.

 

Bl00dy hell 3kg for that alone

How did you go about doing it mate?

 

He started by creating a new thread

 

He can PM

 

Depends what your after. Practical and everyday? of just a raw weekend blaster?

If its the latter and you want it fooking fast, with turbo'd 4wd pocket rocket raw thrills I, of course, would suggest a carefully modified 300+bhp Pulsar Gti-R. Just make sure its a good one thats been looked after and setup up/mapped spot-on with the right mods (brakes, updated handling, fmic etc).

I'm 31, had the R for over 6 years and still love driving it for weekend blasts.

 

R32 GTS-T?

Impreza?

200SX?

Cossie?
