Hi There
I purchased a WRX subaru about five months ago. The car wasn't standard when I bought it but I am slowly getting the subaru bug and upgrading it.
I bought the car with the sole intentions of eventually getting on to a track, have bought extra alloys/tyres so there is nothing stopping me.
However I have had a WRC body kit fitted/painted with added spats etc and have the front bumper lowered (pics to come). I can only just clear the standard speed bumps but it looks great.
The problem with is been so low, a track day is now completely out of the question as I don't want to abuse my pride and joy. Instead take out the odd day in the week for work and weekends.
Any way getting to the point: I have just seen a M Reg MR2 for sale at the end of my road. The car is in good condition and the guy only wants £1200.00. Possibly the ideal track car.
Shall I buy a cheap Subaru around £1500.00 or MR2 for rear wheel track fun?

I need to post some photos online, you will see exactly what I mean, The slightest bump in the road can cause issues. The front I have just over 3inch of clearance, so when the back goes up due to braking this is reduced.
It is a pain but the looks really do make up for it. Will be posting a pic in around 2 hours.
