i have a n/a mr2 modded prob with 170bhp 104Lbs, i want more, i won't do front drive cause there S%^t would get £4000 for my car + £400 for my track car Mk1 mr2, stripped no interior etc. What could i buy, really i can't come up with better than rev2 MR2 turbo (great condition) rev3 mr2 turbo (bad condition), is there any thing else worth considering???

Honest old saf cossie modded cossie (4k), look hard enuf you'll get a decent 350~bhp E or F plate for that money.

NACRO

Another vote for the 200SX

Raks

triple the 200sx, i have one and they are very sideways all the time !!!

RS Grant

Yeah, would be a 200SX for me as well...

For that money I reckon you could get a VERY nice S13, and possibly an older S14!

Try www.sxoc.co.uk for more information...

200SX again.I got a P reg car with 42K on the clock with leather, air con and a clear HPI for 5 grand.
Subtle enough to leave anywhere and noone notices it at all.
And yes Sideways is on tap whenever you want it.
Get one, you wont regret it.

Yup, 200SX!

Here's our new track car.




About £1500!

Mods are dirt cheap, too...

Squizz - thats looks too nice for a track car.


I personally would go for cossie 2wd - if alot of power main criteria.

200sx - if reasonable power and reliability combination.

another vote for the 2Hundy (200sx)
most under rated car ever. Very easy to get 250+BHP from a S14

i'd plum for a late decent condition carlton gsi 24v./....comfy...large..drives like a hot hatch...205bhp and a top of 150...

you can't get a better car for your bucks even if it does handle like a hippo..

alternatively an e34 m5 is the ticket..superb handling...an exquisite 315 or 340 bhp engine and kudos a plenty.

stick with the mr2 mate and get the turbo, great handling, bloody quick and great looking

Some alternatives

300ZX
AE86 Corolla
Jaguar XJS V12
Rover SD1
S12 Silvia
Old TVR (should be able to pick up a 280 or a 350 'wedge' for that sort of money)
Might be able to get a Westfield for that sort of money, or if not a Locost or maybe a Fisher Fury or a Sylva Striker

I do kits for MR2's..they are puckered when they are all done up..great cars with lots of customising potential.

As has been suggested, a 200sx, Sapphire Cossie or if you don't like turbos an E36 325i (8bhp short of the 200 mark) or a 535i perhaps.
The 200sx/ Cosworth are probably cheaper to tune for big bhp though.

2nd gen rx7 turbo II ... If you are brave enough to try somthing different that is

def

carlton 24v? CARLTON 24v? are you mad?
200sx
trueno(corrola,ae86)
mr2 turbo (its a bit like what you already have)
Cossie (to old and very few non thrashed 1s,and its a ford)

My choice 200sx s14,s14a or jap s13 with kouki lights.

If you look hard enough you will find a good cossie for the money be careful though.

The 200 sounds a good option though. Only thing i no about them though is they like reversing into my my old scoobs front bumper.
