Keenady89 Unregistered K	Hi there folks, i'm new to the forum and i have been looking for a coupe for a good while now. For insurance purposes i have been trying to find a half decent non-turbo in decent nick. My mate Roger Morgan has 2L 20v turbo plus in sprint blue, currently running 500bhp and is a weapon and knows his stuff. So if anyone has any tips for buying one then just mail me. My budget is £600 or somewhere near that. Cheers

Cheers Hi and welcome Although you may be able to pick up someone's cast-off for that kind of money, unless you are strong on nuts and bolts, patient, a hoarder of elastoplast and have access to an oilwell you'd be looking at £600 coops with a good deal of BumbleBee carer

I would second what Edinburgh says above, my first coop was purchased for £850 last April and has been on axle stands since this February, with roughly 3 times the purchase cost already spent and quite a ways still to go.

rAzOr_20vt Unregistered R	Its a good thing he's known me for close of 20years then There will be a few 20v n/a out with minus tax/ mot and needing a new cambelt that you can pick up for your budget, forum is a great way to put forward your interest in the car etc, I'm sure there will be some out there looking for a quick sale, i would advise a couple of months saving and get what you want. I'm sure the guys on here will help you out!

Keenady89 Unregistered K	Thanks mate. All the pointers from everyone are much appreciated. As for the hair cuts, i sport a different look to what Roger has but the man pulls it off I'll check insurance for a turbo model and see what the crack is and let you all know, that way i can see what one's are available and go from there. Cheers.

MiniMan64 Unregistered M	Bah! I don't know what your all talking about, I got my 20v for just £350! All it needed was tyres. And a clutch slave cylinder. And a clutch master cylinder. And brake disks. And a service. And a cambelt next year. See? Easy! :lol:
