Honda 'Tec.. Either Civic VTi or 2.2 'Lude
Possibly a 200sx..
Can get an ST185 Carlos Sainz for that money, would be very tempted with that TBH, old school rally-slag..
Cheers,
Grant

£4000 would get you a nice pug 106 gti, was the ultimate hot hatch a few years ago until civic type r and clio 172 come out. and handling is brilliant like a go-kart.
