What about an RX7? Great cars, but look for one thats had a rebuild. Cheaper than a GTR, more fun than a S14a

thats not quite a 32 GTR then 
33 GTSt's can be found for under 5 easily. They are pretty mild though, in my opinion. RWD is fun though, and they can be tuned pretty easily to 300-350bhp

bought my old R33 GTSt for £4400, and sold it for £6000. They then sold it on for £8000 :/
People will try and sell theirs for high money, but they wont sell as they are in abundance, and very cheap to just import yourself! Have you considered that?
But... please.... decide what you want 
Drive them all.

Jambo I agree the s2 would be amazing but aren't parts and actually getting hold of a good example a pain in the ass?

Tom i would think finding a decent one would be very hard.
Parts are easy so long as you familiarise yourself with the german ebay, plus things like porka brakes can be had form the rs2 and bolt straight on. Upgrading stuff from bigger audi's is easy too.
I like them, i want something with silly horse power

look you mong!
The R33 is the 'Escort' bit of the name... The GTR/GTS/GTSt is the RS2000/Ghia etc.
R33 GTR is 4wd
R33 GTS is RWD
R33 GTSt is RWD
R33 GTS4 is 4wd

a gtr is going to be expensive to run/maintain... its probably the only thing id replace my 200 with though
insurance wise the 200 is not an import... so you dont have the usuall BS you will have insuring a skyline.
290/300BHP is a piece of p1ss to get out of a 200...
they have a miles better interior than any skyline....imo of course

the only thing i like the 32 and 33 gtst for is the noise...
wouldnt be into that audi up there at all!!!

audi is solid and reliable power, and a decent 4wd system, interior is a little dated
i need to do some test driving and stop looking at pretty pictures of them

SR20DET is the 2.0 16v single turbo petrol engine.
the CA18DET is in the s12/s13, and is a 1.8, and they tend to have rattley bottom ends, the SR20's don't seem to as much.
