Doesn't have a home to go to!
[ *  *  *  *  * ]
Im having issues at the moment trying to decide what i actually want out of a car!
Im looking for fun and turbo'd, rwd preferably and a good looker. (not a box on wheels).
Ive now been made aware that my accomodation in Hampshire is only on a monday - friday period whilst im in my training so i'll be needing to commute home from Winchester every weekend!
I have 6k to spend at this time and i keep changing my mind. Heres what ive thought of so far, tell me what you think please.

Toyota Soarer - TT but big and heavy - Luxury car.

Toyota Mr2 Turbo - Small 2 seater, light and quick - No room for passengers.

Rx7 - Down right sexy imo - Dreaded rotary engine blowing up and big fuel costs. 5k will probably only get me an ok one.

180sx - probably the best all rounder but around 4-5k to buy stock from japan and pretty much nothing in the uk for sale. No money left for modifying until each pay day! :P

I know if i buy a run around ill regret it so i really want something i can keep for a long time!

£6k would get you an abosolute minter of a MR2 tubby. TBH you could spend only half that and save the rest for bits ;)

How about a 200SX S14a ? There aren't enough of them in the club :lol:

^^ You're not looking in the right places thats a rip off. You can get sileighty's, 180's, silvias and onevias for less than 5k with full bodykit, low miles coilovers, exhaust FMIC, 2 way diffs etc!!

Starlet GT 1.3 forged engine, tdo4 turbo @ 1.25bar = 252bhp = SOLD :(

EDIT: Charade GTxx 993cc three cylinder turbo, 173bhp @ 1.4bar (should hit 200bhp with a larger throttle body, removing stupid high lift cams and a bit more boost)
