back to car / cars
Rover 620 Turbo, get one for £500 at 150bhp then 2.5k on mod's.
MX3 v6 for £300 + a klze for £500, buy a turbo kit for £1800, £400 to spend on clutch (dont worry about stoping it :lol: ).
Nova with the 2.0 turbo is the best idea i think, best bang for buck.

I hadn't thought of the robins.
Get a cossie lump in that and there wont be much on the road with four wheels that'll beat it.
I didn't realise you could pick them up that cheap! :shock:
Can you really turbo an mx for that price?
I thought it was mega bucks?
-
I would love a old Morgan my self, Aero 8 please.
Robins are cheap, I did not realise you can pick them up for that money, I only spent 10mins looking too.
I am sure there is a chap selling a turbo kit from Holland for that sort of cash, but you will have to take it easy as if you run with a lot of boost things are going to start to go bang :( …....I might be wrong (probably am knowing me). You will have to do the work your self.... :lol:

Reliant Kitten with a bike engine.

Front wheels in the air all the way :lol:
-
Go for a GTO my bro got one, its stupidly quick!
Wat bowt an FTO with GTO engine?
-
If not a 200sx turbo is a good bet!

hi guys, im a jaguar enthusiast and i have your solution!!!!! you can get a rusty jaguar xjs for nothing. 5.3/6.0 v12. 1x£500 nitrous kit and straight cut exhaust and your talking 500bhp on the v12. should be 0-60 in 5sec or under.strip out interior and nicetys and it will do 0-60 in -4seconds. here is the 5.3 on an autobox with nitrous!

That's how the STIG died :twisted:
Funny enough the old jag v12 is regularly being mentioned as a performance bargain. The depreciation history of those things are ridiculous!!
I quite like the figures of an AWD AUDI S2 2.2L S5 20v Turbo. 220bhp 0-60 5.7s and well over 230lb/ft of torque as standard :shock: . Then you wack a straight through exhaust and induction kit and tweak the boost just a little and you are looking at a reliable and usable 300bhp.
Only problem is I think they are at least £3000 to buy a fair one
I have just fallen in love with AUDI's after my company lent me there brand new S-line A3 for the week.
It 240lb/ft of torque 160BHP and really pulls hard all the way up to 140mph (i think it could have gone more but didn't wanna take the piss :lol: ). It enhialates my MX,
AND ITS A TURBO DIESEL!!!! :( :cry:
-
OH And it has 6 gears, so when you are not being a lunatic you coast along doing just under 2000rpm at 60mph and you return 60MPG!!!!!! :shock: :shock:
Them germans sure can build motors :)
-
never thought of a kit car?? surely youd be able to get one for under 3K
id suggest the nova idea though, with the redtop turbo engine, the nova can be bought for a couple of hundred quid, the engine for £500 fitting kits for £200, so you have £2100 for uprating the turbo and 75BHP of NOS

For £3000 your looking at:
Vauxhall Calibra Turbo £1500 - £2500 then MOD with extra cash
Honda Prelude 2.2Vti £2000 - £3000 buy cheap and mod
Toyota MR2 Rev3 Twin Turbo - £2800 - £3500 Rev3 is V fast
Mazda MX3 £250 - £1800+ the best looking by far :wink: but not fast unless you do a KLZE
