Greenauto Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I was having a browse through the net, thinking what would I buy if changing out the Supra. I decided as I always do that there isn't anything that would tempt me away for the same money. So got to thinking about a fun second car that I could take on the track too. Criteria I was thinking up were, smaller, light weight, rearwheel drive and Japanese (Toyota ) if possible. I Started looking at Celicas and MR2's then saw a few MRS's in the autotrader. On searching further I found out you can get a full stage 3 turbo kit from Thor racing for these bringing them to just over the power levels on an NA in something much lighter. Has anyone had experience of the conversion and driven one with the kit? Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 caterham style car if you want something fun for the track.... and stick in a toyota engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 How about buying a cheap N/A and stripping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would think for RWD potential (i was thinking for drift) then 200SX, Skyline GTS, IS200 or old RX7 FC if on a budget. Or a 318IS for cheap non-jap. I want something economical as well though for a commute which kind of limits my options. I'm just hoping for a gem to come along. FWD i'd go for a itr dc2 all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 if i had the spare cash floating around, i'd pay the £4000 my mate wants for his 230bhp, 650kg mk1 supercharged golf....its great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 ae86 Quite pricey though! You're talking 6K+ for a decent one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safely Insured Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Quite pricey though! You're talking 6K+ for a decent one.. Down to about 4.5k for a decentish one now... prices are lower than usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
