Default What cheap quick-ish car next?

My insurance has more than doubled since I had a disagreement with some ice recently.
So unfortunately a scoob is out of the question for the time being.

I was hoping to use my engine again, and put it in another one in the future, which I may still do, but think I've got to build up my no claims again first, before it becomes viable.

Not really sure what other car offers such good bang for the buck.
One of the main things I liked about the scoobs are the parts are readily available and usually at a good price too, and the reliability, bar the one I bought from SVA.

Clio 172 Cups are good fun, but straight line speed doesn't seem to quite cut it.

Was thinking maybe a Seat Leon cupra may be good fun?

Newer cars all seem so heavy and don't quite pack the punch of older motors with power to weight.

I had a 230bhp Glanza for cheap a few years ago, which was a handful but it lasted 3 days before going pop. Luckily I didn't lose anything on it, due to all the goodies on it. But being 30 something I can't see myself in one again.

Mr2 Turbos were really good motors, but seem to have shot up in price, along with most other things with fuel being "low" at the moment.

What would others recommend?
