Window shopping with 6-7K
I'm doing some window shopping at the moment with looking to spend 6-7K on a weekend car come the summer time.
Current line-up:-
Blob impreza STI (previously owned WRX)
EVO 7/8 (try something different from another Scooby)
E46 M3
Ford Focus ST
Supra TT (Don't think my dog will fit in the back)
Anyone have any good/bad to say about the above selection or can recommend other cars worth a shout?

Yeh I have seen a couple kicking about on pistonheads/ebay.
A garage called junction 17 have a real nice looking sti, which I could be a bit naughty and get it on finance and get it sooner than summer.

1. Skyline GT-R R32 V-Spec
2. Skyline GT-R R33 V-Spec
3. Nissan Silvia S15
4. Nissan 200SX S14 (though bit old now, saw a mint one at Santa Pod last summer)
If you must have a Ford in the list, then a Ford Mustang GT.
TBH not sure how the Focus ST got in that list, did you really mean the Focus RS? might cost a bit more though.

I own a Focus ST running near enough 380bhp. Great cars but they definitely need a remap to reveal their potential, the boost is limited from the factory to around 0.6bar.
Basic mods can see them at 300+ (Remap, intercooler, full exhaust system and induction kit)
A remap alone will see an extra 30bhp ish and a boat load more torque

Sorry about the thread hijack.
What mods have you got to get it up to 380 bhp?
Thinking about a st as a replacement for my M3... (need a hatchback)

Assuming you weren't after an abused money pit
