BulletMagnet Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Celica VVTLi Celica is a bit girly for me You clearly don't know the potential these have. (StevoD has witnessed it's awesomeness after my bro finished his) Plus they are reliable Quote

Dave-350 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 E36 328i sport. Fantastic car and mid range performance and well within your budget. You would be surprised that it pulls just as good as a zed to a certain degree. Quote
Stutopia Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 FTO or a GTO? What about the working man's sports car of choice, Ford Capri? Classic. Quote
Bockaaarck Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I bought my new shed 2/3 weeks ago - 2002 Seat Toledo v5, 0-62 in 8.2 secs (actually a bit quicker than that if I'm honest, certainly as fast as a Golf GTI), leather/alacantra, climate control, multi cd changer, massive boot, great mid range torque, goes like a bloody rocket - £1600. Peugeot coupe maybe, 3 litre v6 version, terrific looking car, very smooth. How about a post 1985 924S, another great handling car, spirited enough and with a great solid engine. What about a Focus ST, the chassis is great, superb reliability decent enough poke to have some fun Quote

You would be surprised that it pulls just as good as a zed to a certain degree. Not a fan of BMW's really, mate's got a 330 which there are some for around £2k, just never liked Bimmers FTO or a GTO? What about the working man's sports car of choice, Ford Capri? Classic. Did look at some GTO's the other day, still something I'm looking into I bought my new shed 2/3 weeks ago - 2002 Seat Toledo v5, 0-62 in 8.2 secs (actually a bit quicker than that if I'm honest, certainly as fast as a Golf GTI), leather/alacantra, climate control, multi cd changer, massive boot, great mid range torque, goes like a bloody rocket - £1600.

smudgedon Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 MR2? I said reliable, not a ticking time-bomb Quote

BulletMagnet Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 You know what, you're worse than a girl in a shopping mall full of shoe shops. People are trying to make suggestions and you are being very very picky. Think about your original reason for going budget and remember the saying "Beggars can't be choosers" And for that reason, I'm out 1 Quote

longsh07 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) How about a Celica GT4 instead? 4WD 2.0 turbo. http://www.pistonhea...d-unit/1563247# Or an IS200 and get a TTE supercharger? http://www.pistonhea...-se-1999/793843 Or these two "beauties" are up for grabs too http://www.pistonhea...ion-b18/1420221 http://www.pistonhea...how-car/1532581 Edited July 27, 2013 by longsh07 Quote
smudgedon Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 GT4 is an option, just seen 2 examples owned by friends before that have been money-pits...need to do more research IS200 charge conversion I need to research as well. Ideally I want to keep the car as it is and not have to spend money on it to be pleased with it As for the last 2, I need them in my life so I can then burn them 1 Quote

rtbiscuit Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Until you get over your zed you might as well just get a push bike. For 2k you aren't in fezza country. Quote
OV53 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 ST170s are class. Look well, are bulletproof, do 140 no problem, are comfortable and practical. The only problem I ever had with it was when I hit a badger at 70 and it destroyed my front bumper! Quote
LRF4N Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Prelude 2.2 vtec? Granted a bit older than other options but you'd have change left over from 2k and with the motegi kit they still look good Quote
