Decent modded car for about 5-6k

gline

I am looking to buy a car for about 5-6k.
What would you recommend?

Im looking @ around 95-98 fto,gto,celica etc.... that kind of car
2litre max, possibly with turbo

whats good and whats not?

I'd like to buy one already modded as it is very expensive for decent mods

cough!

hehehe. Trust me your car is in the running

i "think" it will be between a
Celica turbo
Nissan 300zx - bleedin sexy lookin car :-)
or a toyota curran

not sure what to go with

the nissan wins it in the looks department for me
the celica for power
but the fto is all-round good and not too expensive on insurence.

anyone here own/owned a 300zx????? the "fairlady" model. Any major issues with it?

Why not buy a Civic Type R? Quick, great handling, reliable and jaw dropping to look at! Even a Del Sol or a DC5, the possibilities are endless!
