Yep... I really miss my old 205 Mi16.
Used to be able to track and drive it hard, with minimal cost and no reliability issues (apart from a dead battery). Mi16 1.9 alloy block, cams, twin webber 45's, ported and flowed inlet/heads, big induction plus loads of other stuff I can't remember... c. 200-210 bhp..
Rebuilt rear beam, Bilstein shocks, big brakes, rebuilt 'box with longer final drive and the obvious stuff you can see in the pictures
. This thing was awesome on track!
If I kept this instead of buying my Type R I would probably be able to buy a 993 Turbo with the 'leftover' cash, and I would have had a car that always worked..

Of all the cars I've had the most fun was no doubt the AE86 Corolla, a true hooligans motor. Literally sideways everywhere, kind of like the Scoob in many ways but more fun x100. LOL
