What is - The fastest car you can get for under £3000?



  • http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/220449.htm

    Unfinished project, could get it for £1,800 then get a motor bike engine?

    or

    back to car / cars

    Rover 620 Turbo, get one for £500 at 150bhp then 2.5k on mod's.

    MX3 v6 for £300 + a klze for £500, buy a turbo kit for £1800, £400 to spend on clutch (dont worry about stoping it :lol: ).

    Nova with the 2.0 turbo is the best idea i think, best bang for buck.



  • I hadn't thought of the robins.

    Get a cossie lump in that and there wont be much on the road with four wheels that'll beat it.

    I didn't realise you could pick them up that cheap! :shock:

    Can you really turbo an mx for that price?

    I thought it was mega bucks?



  • I would love a old Morgan my self, Aero 8 please.

    Robins are cheap, I did not realise you can pick them up for that money, I only spent 10mins looking too.

    I am sure there is a chap selling a turbo kit from Holland for that sort of cash, but you will have to take it easy as if you run with a lot of boost things are going to start to go bang :( …....I might be wrong (probably am knowing me). You will have to do the work your self.... :lol:



  • Reliant Kitten with a bike engine.



  • Front wheels in the air all the way :lol:



  • Go for a GTO my bro got one, its stupidly quick!
    Wat bowt an FTO with GTO engine?



  • If not a 200sx turbo is a good bet!



  • hi guys, im a jaguar enthusiast and i have your solution!!!!! you can get a rusty jaguar xjs for nothing. 5.3/6.0 v12. 1x£500 nitrous kit and straight cut exhaust and your talking 500bhp on the v12. should be 0-60 in 5sec or under.strip out interior and nicetys and it will do 0-60 in -4seconds. here is the 5.3 on an autobox with nitrous!

  • That's how the STIG died :twisted:

    Funny enough the old jag v12 is regularly being mentioned as a performance bargain. The depreciation history of those things are ridiculous!!

    I quite like the figures of an AWD AUDI S2 2.2L S5 20v Turbo. 220bhp 0-60 5.7s and well over 230lb/ft of torque as standard :shock: . Then you wack a straight through exhaust and induction kit and tweak the boost just a little and you are looking at a reliable and usable 300bhp.

    Only problem is I think they are at least £3000 to buy a fair one

    I have just fallen in love with AUDI's after my company lent me there brand new S-line A3 for the week.

    It 240lb/ft of torque 160BHP and really pulls hard all the way up to 140mph (i think it could have gone more but didn't wanna take the piss :lol: ). It enhialates my MX,
    AND ITS A TURBO DIESEL!!!! :( :cry:



  • OH And it has 6 gears, so when you are not being a lunatic you coast along doing just under 2000rpm at 60mph and you return 60MPG!!!!!! :shock: :shock:

    Them germans sure can build motors :)



  • never thought of a kit car?? surely youd be able to get one for under 3K

    id suggest the nova idea though, with the redtop turbo engine, the nova can be bought for a couple of hundred quid, the engine for £500 fitting kits for £200, so you have £2100 for uprating the turbo and 75BHP of NOS



  • For £3000 your looking at:

    Vauxhall Calibra Turbo £1500 - £2500 then MOD with extra cash
    Honda Prelude 2.2Vti £2000 - £3000 buy cheap and mod
    Toyota MR2 Rev3 Twin Turbo - £2800 - £3500 Rev3 is V fast
    Mazda MX3 £250 - £1800+ the best looking by far :wink: but not fast unless you do a KLZE
