not sure mate you will get somthing nice tho but dont expect it to be as aggresive as the classic with yours at 430bhp you will find it hard ta have as much fun

Bugeyes seem the cheapest newage- you may even be able to swap some stuff over! and maybe get one with a 6 speed?

looks nice but 120k running at 270 and 1.3bst it is a bit on the risky side as i want an every day scoob not someones project like yours, dont take that the wrong way as its a great car im simply looking for the standered car with a 4" stainless pipe, decat, dump valve, k&n flt, youl no what i mean something sane not like the beasty in my garage,. cheers anyway fella,.

If you decide to sell give us a shout, I'll be looking for one with that sort of power in a month or two

£4.5 k will get you a Bugeye WRX which is looked after or a dog Bug STi

I had an MR2 before the Impreza and if it was only me driving then I'd get another
