Got a 6.5k budget, or will have soon when the bike sells, and not sure which model to buy.

First thoughts are either an sti 3 or 4, or maybe go for a late uk turbo 2000 with full service history.....that way at least im pretty much sure to get a gud un, but obviously i wont have the power an sti and its gunna cost mucho money to get it upto sti power?

Advice needed!

You could always buy this:

Then spend £750 on a de-cat downpipe and a re-map for approx 270bhp.

Yeah you can take my bike in part ex then? lol

Find an STi that's recently been rebuilt and you're laughing! You could buy mine but I'm not quite ready to sell

***Jonesy***

Do they need rebuilt pretty often then?

Not really, if they are looked after. Mine was rebuilt at 112000 miles.

....coming from a bmw background 112k doesnt seem very good lol. But at least I know

swtmerce

lol. And no BMW runs 150 bhp/litre either.

So anyways, what are we saying is the model to go for, for £6500 then?

buy a nice ver 2 sti for say 4500 and then spend 1000-1500 on it (apexi power fc, front mount, fpr ) and you can have say 370+bhp !! 500 in the tail and off to ibiza for a week with the burd ! sorted !

***Jonesy***

Yeah, that idea had crossed my mind (apart from the taking the bird to ibiza part! I would sooner go with the lads to be honest!).
