That's an interesting option and should be good for 190 bhp or so

I used to love driving around the country lanes of Northern Ireland in my old Scirocco GTII, I remember at the time (1998 I think it was?) pricing up a standard green VR6 at Carcraft in Newport and they wanted over

Bearing in mind where you are geographically, surely there must be a few 'local' ex-rally cars for sale? They'll have the cage, seats, harness and stuff and there were a few in the 2-3k range when I looked into it for a friend (lower performance/quality of course but then they are at the cheap end).
