sell a kidney and go f20c honda, like me!
no need to go F/I then as you will have 200+ bhp

MX-5 1.6. Cheap as chips and plenty about. No faffing with gearbox as its the right way already, and is one of the sweetest around. Non interference engine should the cam belt ever fail, and if you need more power, a Greddy turbo kit is easily available and should still come under budget. (You could probably get a whole car for your budget then sell the rest to recoup you costs) Such a great set up I'm currently putting one in my MNR Vortx! What's there not to like?

or if you cant find one cheap enough then find a ca18det from the early 200sx come with a turbo and are rwd

Gents, stop teasing him!

What you need is an R1 (with a supercharger if your adrenaline gland is on the blink).

or a bmw 328, lighter than a s2000 an easy 220bhp and about £500 with a gearbox
