Ok so the skyline has gone :cry: I have around three and a half grand to buy a fun toy to be used at weekends and days off. I,m looking at hot hatches but your suggestions are welcome :-D

Well if you want something fast and fun and as long as you're good with the spanners :o , How about a Pulsar/Sunny gti-r ugly.

Or a starlet maybe.

Starlet GT turbo gets my vote, as they are seriouisly tough little cars, cheap tax, and go very well!!!

If you're feeling brave you could always get a V6 Alfa 156 :D

them little starlets are pretty nippy for a 1.3 turbo
could try and find a standard pulsar gti-r and keep it that way to try and avoid the reliability issues (my 2 were not standard and were nothing but trouble although i did like them)
corrado g60 or vr6 ?

would have to be be a crx siR or if you dont fancy the glass roof go for a uk vti - miss mine :(

160bhp easy to tune to 200bhp+

Lightweight, handle like you wouldnt believe, not much to strip and reliable as :wink:
