So I started a thread the other day looking for a car for under 4k ideas after thinking about it I definatley want something turbo in this price range.

Been looking at Astra gsi's but some arsehole agreed a deal with me had a 2 hour drive gave a deposit only for him to refund me and sell it to someone else.

Any ideas welcome

Don't fancy anything too old and must dump off not a recirc my leon had a recirc and it spoiled the car for me,

Nothing vag, the 1.8T is too common

Anyone no much about impreza wrx? I used to own a wrx sti blob eye so sort of just disregarded the wrx as it has a shit interior and no brembos but there in my price range?

I disagree with this. The 1.8T is a fantastic engine and practically bullet proof. But again it would be a recirc like your LCR was.

Are you still set on a turbo? Could you not be tempted by a 330ci?

I'm kinda getting the feeling you have your heart set on something jap though.

S13 and S14A were the most fun cars I've owned to date. Completely unreliable and got police attention everywhere I went but jesus they were good craic.

You might be able to find a Sunny GTi-R for around that price, again, banter.

£1250, you could probably forge the bottom end with used parts and get another turbo for ~£750.

I didn't comment on how well built the engine was, I merely commented on how common the various cars are.
