the 5 was my original choice but i've since found out about them being unreliable and they have no power steering or abs which is why i thought of the punto. Which is fastest of the 3?

matey i'd go for the punto coz its newer etc. but if ur wantin to tune. A FRST will go to 170bhp with a chip and boost to 14.5 psi (£450 for 40bhp), then all u need is a mogoose exhaust. and trust me its fast! But its hard to find a good 1. my bro has an ERST at 180bhp and it can sit with standard cossies!!! in a straight line anyway.............

R5's only become unreliable when you start winding the boost up to ridiulous pressures without uprating the rest

hard pushed to find a goodun though

As u are in the south look out for a Black R5 it is highly modded with jap style body kit and very loud, u could do wot he has done and got a renault 17 engine to fit in there and he is now betting R5 turbos and go go along the motorway at 125 no problem.

nice car by the way ollie haven't seen it around yet.
