Fastest you can go for 8k?

£8K ?

No brainer for me.

Mistubish Evo6 RS + a bit left over for the insurance etc.

OR a 300zx TT SWB Manual... quick, and a classic.

Horrible cars :/

if by horrible you mean one of the best handling, tuneable imports then you'd be right.

Its my opinion, i think they are horrible in every sense of the word. The engine is dire to drive, is redicuolous on fuel for the performance, unreliable, its just crap.

I liked them until i test drove an FD while seriously considering the purchase of one.

I never got that far - the one I went to look at blew one of it's rotor tips out whilst it was idling out the back of the guy's workshop. Ha!

Lads would it be an idea for me to start a new thread? Perhaps "Good fun/quick car for 8k, not too pricey on the insurance or running costs"

He'll pay in the region of £2k to insure an Elise of any description.

VX200s are much better value for the price. Cheaper to insure, more reliable and cheaper to run.

I'll only stick the Corvette back in again

that much? shocking :/

yep, I'd love one but would not pay that much to insure one, not when the vx220 is newer, faster and cheaper in most areas.

combined with the fact that if you have a 1.8 K-series you ARE going to get HGF at somepoint and an exciting bill, it's just not a tempting package.
