I had a Nissan 200sx 14a running 263bhp the one in the above pic.

Was mine and my partners until I got the Starbo. I have taken it on track a few times nearly lost it at quarry (the big corner at castle combe) so was only aloud to use it on the road after that lol

Was a lot of fun in the wet I have to say but ate tyres like there was no tomorrow lol saying that I get through a few on the starbo.

Haha a NSX R would be lovely! I think my list would most likely consist of the following, and I would have to wait til I was quite a bit older:

RX-7 (ideally with a 20b plopped in it for some rotary fun!)
Supra (running some decent power lol)
New-ish Evo
S15 (again, running quite a lot of power)

OR, when I'm older and richer;
TVR T350 (mmm...yum)

Erm..so why have you listed DC5?

My method of thinking was I did not want anything slower than my Glanza, but its 275hp in a 8**kg shell! What can I get faster that does not cost the earth to run as a daily driver! Straight line speed is not everything, and for a pure sports car, RWD and f-engine is one of the best setups in a lot of people's eye.

haha knew youd say that, i just stuck that in there because they look so gorgeous but if i actually had to get one, it would probably have to be turbo'd. you thought about a 400bhp+ mr2? they are great cars to drive belive me and with that amount of power are not shy either. petrol will be a killer yes but so will everything matey..

lol your telling me you love to hear a car Reving its nuts off???

well aren't they made for revving high ? and IMO sounds of type r's revvin high is something you cant expect from N/A :cool: and don't get carry away with those cars have no power unless they rev high, they actually has impressive torque at low rev even though its N/A.some people think Dc5 have no torque belive me take a drive in one and you wont be disappointed.;)

and Gee why so much fuss mate we all know you want s2000:p

ahh i thought you were gona keep the Glanza. defiantly keep it if you can mate, comon 300 bhp per tonne you ill miss unless you super charged s2000.

Hmm..maybe I will miss it.

But it is going to take a lot of work getting it how I want it and I don't know if I can be arsed anymore. Still needs a LSD, gearbox rebuild, oil leak fixing, interior putting back in, respray, fit new bumper and lip etc. List is endless.

Both TOM'S and TRD, do turbo kits for them.

if you buy an altezza with a toms turbo on them, it will have been setup and tuned by tom's.

i beleive these examples are rare, and have specific chassis plates.
