You big girl.

Why not go for a bugeyed Impreza or a decent Evo 6? Your budget will buy a decent one and they're quicker than the S4, even if you do have to put up with the Stigma

Celica st-205?

Firestar_3x · 6 Dec 2006 at 19:12

Bugeyed's make me want to cry, evo could be an idea but tbh thats not the image i'm after.

S4 / VR4 are still top of the list.

And deep pockets.

Replace turbos you're looking at about £3000ish apparantly. Some have been known to blow two sets of turbos, one right after the others had been replaced.

unless they're a specific part to that car, surely you can source brand new turbines for less than that?

I really like the 540i but the running costs scare me and if i get a lemon i will have to sell my body on fridays to pay the bills.

Would love an M5 and i blame TomO firmly for this but i just don't think its an option.

The great thing about having access to 4 cars is the fact if one breaks it really doesn't matter, i can't see the turbos being custom fit and as Andy stated i can just slap on some K04's anyways.

And this will be different on an S4?

No particually i suppose, its the tuning potential and 4wd that makes the S4 more appealing.

If truth be told my research is limited to almost woman like, umm that looks nice, not sure of the ins and outs.

My feeling is i want something that will deal with the bad weather / snow better than my current car, however i like to play with my cars so scope for upgrades must be an option.

It must do the respectable looking business car thing but also be good to chuck round the ring and satisfy my cuoristy to change things, otherwise it will be a passing fancy.

200sx?

Firestar_3x · 6 Dec 2006 at 19:39

Nah, fast saloon really, i've already got my play thing, this is nice motorway car come play thing, a bigger GT might work but only 3000GT style.

awesome mate, i know 2 people with them and with a RICA chip you see in excess of 300hp.

full leather.

im after a t5 but only cos i will have sub 2k to spend.

can you say 'torque steer'

alternatively 'super scrabble'

edit - with reference to tuning it to 300bhp

Firestar_3x · 6 Dec 2006 at 22:49

Drives the wrong wheels anyways, i would be better off getting a 740 and fitting the T5 engine to that
