An EVO for 3k?

[autoworksnovasport]

An EVO for 3k?

yeah 5 or 6

[Pistol Pete]

Surely at that price it will be a ****ter??

IIRC 6's go for 5k+

[mk1nova_rich]

Mk1 Astra GTE, or a totally standard Mk2 16v...3K wouldnt get any Ford worth having in decent nick

[Connor]

The red nova looks sooooo much better than the starlet.

Pictures are deceiving, shoddly built (by me when i was 16) 1.2 with more orange peel than an actual orange.
That starlet was quality and i would happily have one over any of my novas just havent got the monies to buy one :(

[Connor]

.double post

[Mike]

Edited for trooooofs!! lol

This.


Surely at that price it will be a ****ter??

And also this.

[mowgli]

3k..... Probably get a half decent seven for that, or a lot of 3 series bmw... And maybe a fairly good quattro

[wwmnw]

Granted its not under 3K and it is the starting price, but if I could get this for 3K I'd snap his arms out of his sockets!

Edit: Posted an ebay link so removed it durr lol BMW 850i on ebay V12 awesomeness.

[mk1nova_rich]

Might just stretch to a 100e or 105e with a naughty engine transplant :d

[Southie]

V8 a8.
LPG then?

[John]

of course! Could get one for less than 3k, then spend the rest on fuel :D

[Southie]

My mate had a S8 A8 without "lpg" and it was still pretty good, well apart from the autobox that slipped like a barsteward.

[Mike]

Edit: Mike get a grip... really a 180!!!

Leathers, aircon, elec everything & a mediocre 180 hamsters on an 04 reg. Be daft not too IMO.

[Stuart]

Rear axle craap bushes comes to mind.

As in Clio RS 200? If so, Clio will beat it in every aspect except price lol

Every car has its faults.

Every single car mentioned in this thread for that matter lol ZLET Astra = cheese turbo, Mk1 Astra = epic rust, Astra Mk3 GSi = Epic rust, shoddy front top mounts, EASILY nickable, A8 S8 = shiote fuel econonmy etc etc

There aint no car on the planet that isnt going to break, cost a gazillion to run or insure etc.

[Stuart]

rs 182 even lol

[Mike]

rs 182 even lol

Hmmm, go with 182 lol thats NOT a biased opinion either. Ive driven all three, RS200, 182 & GTi 180.

Would put the 180 last out the aforementioned TBH. Hell, the original 206 GTi (the 130) that is pap :( ST170 Focus is much more fun!

lol quoted for truth.

Twice in one thread lol

[Mike]

There are plenty of performance bargains to be had for £3k. Just as we know, nearly everyone on here has only ever owned a GM of some variaint so there scared to buy anything else but one, as when it breaks its not as easy to repair as a Neva.

Just my humble opinion that Ive gathered since being here from 2004.....

[Lee H]

Civic Type R for me at that price.

[turbojolt]

Can you get mg maestro turbo or how ever there spelt lol for under 3 k as I always wanted one as a kid

[Pistol Pete]

lol out of all the cars ive owned, 6 have been Vauxhalls. 1 got smashed up and 1 got broken up lol

But i do agree, if you remove the blinkers, plenty to chose from. Hell even half of the 3k would buy you something fun!

[Mike]

Civic Type R for me at that price.

Probably the best car mentioned so far £ per hp x smiles.

Soooo much epic scope for large power figures for relative little money.

[Stuart]

I dunno, I removed my blinkers for replacing the VX with £4K and came up with the 182 and maybe the lupo gti...... not much of a real option set lol

[Southie]

Not bad cars IMO. Driven a Lupo, found it quite amusing!!

[Mike]

Get a real clean later 182 for £4k now. Id love one myself, but the miles Im doing for work now a diesel is the only option.......

In the form of a 206 GTi HDi , ALL the GTi refinements but with added 45mpg, insurance group 8 and a £3k pricetag for an 04~05 reg.

Kthnxbai.

[turbojolt]

I know you all hate fiats but really wouldn't mind a punto gt turbo cheap as chips and easy to mess about with

[Nova_Tek]

Tough question... but one car that springs to mind is a MK4 Astra Turbo Coupé on some sort of BBS rim, lowered a touch with the front bumper form the Astra GSi turbo hatch.

But There wold be a few cars I'd wanna go for if I had 3k to spend.

[Mike]
