I'd narrow it down to the Pulsar + VR6 tbh. Pulsar's are fooking quick and VR6 is just sheer

i'd get a reasonable VR6 for that, theres loads more to choose from too.

but some of those are imports so you can forget trying to insure them

i would stick with the starlet or my choice woulda be the vr6 but finding a good one for 3500 would be hard .. also pulsars can be very expensive to run and maintain

we have a guys corrado in at work for a full respray and he just bought a corrado VR6 for £1,800 and sold it for £4,000!
the person who sold it to him didnt know the value of it so there are some bargains to be had but they are bloody expensive for what they are!

Ant, its not just the fact that my car is slow, its the fact that my mum payed for it, and is paying the insurance, racking up more and more debt all the time, and i'd prefer not to have as much debt, so selling the corsa, and buying a car and insuring it for a year would be saving me money.

theres only 2 or 3 left now,
i've ruled out the fords, they are 2k to insure, i've ruled out the pulsar, imports are 2500 to insure, and its just the starlet, and the corrado... and maybe the golf
