right my brother has £5000 to buy a car it needs to be reliable and beat his mates audi tt 225bhp and he need to be able to park it in the street ,i was thinking a supra twin turbo ,or nisan 300, anyone help me with some cars mpg is not a problem as he will only use it as a second car for fun at weekend he only dose around 1500 a year max in his audi coupe.
and MK indy R1 bec should do that
as i said he need to park it on the street without it getting nicked so most kitcars wont do .(he dont want a kitcar)
How about a superbly hand built one of a kind locost just registered today and already been mistaken for a genuine 7

Celica GT4 WRC - 255bhp std and 4wd, TTs can get no where near them
MX-5 mk1 (£1k6) + flyingmiata supplied turbocharger conversion (£?) should come about right in price, 250 bhp, 1050 kg, great handling.

Tell him to torch his mates Audi, then he can buy something really cheap and spend the rest on something useful

I'd love a Mazda RX7 myself. Still think its amongst the most beautiful cars on the road.
I know where there's a Mitsubishi GTO up for grabs, no idea bout BHP top speed or anything, looks the biz though.
this should do the job and he's got enough left over to buy a starter kit from MK

If you drive it everyday you will spend a fortune on fuel, tyres servicing etc and get bored.
I did it once and never again. The fuel bill for a daily commute in an evo would pay to run a second car
I got fed up of having to commute in a bl**dy Escort TD when I had such beauty as a 300
bhp per tonne Locost BEC sitting in the garage (which btw has very very low running costs). Impreza!
You can pick the up from around £2.5k. A really nice mint UK car, even with just 208bhp - will wee all over a TT with more horses. I had one and my
mates TT could not get near it for on speed or handling. Throw in a few goodies (zorst, air filter and a remap) and you can get 260+bhp no problem.
Plus you get a wonderful flat four rumble!
If you are more brave, pick up an import, maybe an STI, and that will wee all over his TT (although it may well blow up)....!
