Is that a bargain are they all around that now? Pretty cheap !

There are times when there cheaper, I got mine when winter hit so a lot more we're getting sold. I sold it for £3k odd but I had spent a lot on it.

S13 for the win, Pulsar looks nice in red, shame they're gay-wheel-drive though

More likely to be able to pick up a dog eared S14 like mine for a 2K budget. I wouldnt describe 4wd as gay myself.

Kates 200SX is a good laugh to drive sideways, but I don't think it's as "fun" and thrashable as the 205 you already have.

Its on standard suspension. There is a huge difference when you ditch the standard springs.

So's my 205... I'm trying to keep it fair by comparing standard with standard. I'm aware that the SX is really more of a grand tourer than a hot hatch (saloon!) which compromises it in factory spec

EDIT

WTF is up with S13 prices lately? People are demanding prices of up to a grand for rotten MOT failures?! I was looking to get one, but at this rate I'm thinking of saving a few hundred more and getting an S14 myself.

I am! Totally lost enthusiam with it during the last 2 months of constant rain but now the sun's out and I'm in the mood again. Head is on the living room floor all ready to drop onto the block, maybe tonight

I know what you mean... I've got a pile of nice shiny bits which have been sat in my room for the last month.

Hopefully get out there and fit them this week. Don't know how long this weather is going to hang around.

Sorry for the OT westy.

Have to say, I've took my car out for a couple of runs for the first time in months and months. Glad I chose not to sell it last month now. You never know I may spend some money on it and keep it another year longer still.

The only other impractical cars I'd consider with 2K are Mr2s and MX5s and I'd want a garage for the latter [how secure is it with a hard top?]

the cheapest of pulsars seem to be at about 2,300 - 2,500, you can get this for 2,500 looks in ok condition and the 310bhp sounds fun.
