Sierra, (twink 2.0?) - Not really quick
Not really. Get a 4wd 2.9i instead. It's biased towards the rear, which definately shows after a drive in the wet!

Mmhmm. A 2.9 in a sierra _should_ be nice, but only 160Hp? Dunno. 's a possibility..

Aye, not a particularly advanced engine, but it's a larf! 

Which is pretty much the aim...

s13 200sx - fcuked at under £1k?
Probably. I knew of a £1500 one a while back which was a bit dented after a front end crash.

Right. Scratch that one then.

I didnt describe that very well. It had a new bumper and bonnet, all resprayed perfectly (owner was a painter), just a small dent in the wing remained. Also had new discs and pads all round, plus adjustable suspension (although I think he would have taken it off at that price). So it's possible to pick up cheapish ones if you dont mind it not being totally mint.

Fair enough. ISTR that there is a problem with a turbo oil pipe getting clogged, leading to knackered turbos, but I guess that's easy enough to check for. O.k, unscratch it as a potential...


Better suggestions please!
I'm surprised you didn't crowbar the suggestion of a 360 in there somewhere ;-D

I thought about it, but didnt think it would be your thing, plus its not particularly quick as standard. I could list plenty of modifying options to make it quick though :)
Heh. 2.3 16v :-) Actually, dropping a T5 lump in has a perverted appeal. No, bad thoughts. Leave me alone, you nasty man. >:-/
