Default Which model for 6.5k max?

Got a 6.5k budget, or will have soon when the bike sells, and not sure which model to buy.

First thoughts are either an sti 3 or 4, or maybe go for a late uk turbo 2000 with full service history.....that way at least im pretty much sure to get a gud un, but obviously i wont have the power an sti and its gunna cost mucho money to get it upto sti power?

Advice needed!

You could always buy this:

Then spend £750 on a de-cat downpipe and a re-map for approx 270bhp.

buy a nice ver 2 sti for say 4500 and then spend 1000-1500 on it (apexi power fc, front mount, fpr ) and you can have say 370+bhp !! 500 in the tail and off to ibiza for a week with the burd ! sorted !

Yeah, that idea had crossed my mind (apart from the taking the bird to ibiza part! I would sooner go with the lads to be honest!).
