No no, not for me :D A friend of mine is looking to get a jap turbo car. He's slightly older than me but skylines are still too much to insure. He's come from the world of bikes and having just sold his bike has a max of £4k to spend. He likes my mr2 but it needs to have 4 seats and a boot to keep his Mrs happy. It also has to be RWD, none of this 4wd nonsense ;)

So far I've pointed him towards a 200sx s13 and s14 which he both likes. And also a Soarer which he likes also, but he prefers manual and manuals of soarers are kind of hard to find I think. Any other suggestions peeps?
 
I recommend a Mitsubishi Carisma, I think it'll be just what he needs becuase the modding potential means he could mod it to suit his criteria.
 
ae86, not a turbo but still total cult car :)

other than that your about right with the sx, totally the best for the money, should be able to get a very nice s14, or a pretty decent s14a for that kinda money Although note they don't really have rear seats, just a place to store contortionists
 
200sx boot is ok, but if the missus insits on 4 seats, then it should be pointed out that trying to carry 4 adults further than 4 miles could result in permanent leg injuries for the rear passengers. 3 adults could perhaps make a 10 mile journey, though the rear passenger may need help getting out if they are still conscious.

Not allowed to recommend 200SX any more guys, it always gets recommended and contributes to making the forum boring ;)

Despite me loving them as you probably know, I havent recommended one for absolutely ages, so its not me :D
 
Am I missing something? The guy seems to have asked a perfectly valid question yet the thread has been killed. I was under the impression we were trying to stop this in the motors forum.
 
hmm not many genuine decent RWD turbo jap cars for 4k tbh...(with 4 seats)

MR2, 200sx, lexus soarer 2.5 Turbo

best u can prolly get, apart from a 200sx, which are rocking cars) is like a volvo T5, (2.5 Turbo, prolly 4wd), Celtica GT4, Lancer evo, Scubaru, pulsar GTIR, Supra etc
