Quote from: mr_rollId go with a Honda Civic from that list.

only if it is the older shape VTi or the newer shape Coupe VTEC

Ok ive spent a bit of time on this and done a final draft, so here we go

Audi A3 1.8 T

Audi A4 1.8 T Sport - Hard to find nice now, had one already.

BMW 320i - Newer shaper, tough to find for 4.5k

Honda Civic 1.6 VTI - 95 > think ek6? and the next one with the bug eye lights, can be hatch, saloon or coupe really, hatch and coupe look better.

Hyundai Coupe F2 Evolution 2.0 16v

Seat Ibiza 2.0 16v Cupra Sport

Seat Ibiza 1.8 T

Seat Leon 1.8 T - again, hard pushed for 4.5k budget

Subaru Impreza 2.0 Turbo - this is a wildcard really, dependent on if i can fit in it.

Toyota Celica 2.0GT 95 > if i can fit

Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI > hard pushed again for budget

Vauxhall Astra 2.2 SRI 16v

VW Golf 2.0 GTI 16v Mk3

VW Golf 1.8 T Gti Mk4

VW Golf 2.3 V5 Mk4

VW Bora 1.8T 180 PS - hard pushed? dont know on this one

Im thinking with regard to the Turbo powered cars ill get a better increase to bhp/value for money, i know remap is an instant increase, thinking say if i throw say £500 at a turbo vs injection ill get a better increase in overall power, but then this is why im asking here, for all your petrolheads to help me out

At the moment im more inclined to go for either the Civic, Seat or Celica.

Celica GT-Four

200SX S14a

Skyline GTS-T

Plenty of headroom in this:
