We are looked too on RX8,but after some reports about the reliability we are bought Renault Megane Sport 225,which is enough 225bhp as standard,Brembo and 6speed is just bonus.
With 5k budget you can have R26,which have plus LSD,better seats(Recaro) and few other mods

RX8 are very prone to flooding and an absolute bitch to get going after,plus Very thirsty on oil and MPG is not the best too

You will get a mk1 focus rs between 6 and 7k, but think anything about 5k is going to be a bit rough, I have been a ford man all my driving life, almost bought a focus mk1 rs but test drove a sti prodrive style and realised I was about to make a mistake, it was a good 3k more than the sti and after driving both felt I needed a change. But then they are still good cars and cheaper to insure and run than an sti, I could literally half my insurance if I had a focus and insured through rs owners club.
