Hi guys, i've been lurking for a while. I'm currently running a MR2 roadster with a 2zz engine (from a Corolla T Sport) and I have a Toyota Levin AE86 that's 270bhp as a fun car. I'm looking to sell both and get something that ticks all the boxes. I want something as fast as the AE86, fun but also can be left in a train station car park during the week.
My budget will be around 10k. My ownership period will be short, probably a year or so.
I'm thinking about getting a cheaper 3200, something that needs work, has high miles or is on the hpi register as I want to modify it performance wise. See if I can get close to 450bhp. I work on my cars myself so hopefully it won't cost me lots to run.
An other car in considering is a modified Mitsubishi Evo. I know these are very different to the 3200 and possibly more likely to get stolen at the train station.
Does anyone have a 3200 in South Wales that I could have a good look at?
Is there any decent diagnostic software for these cars? Can you get 25mpg on a motorway cruise?
I'm pretty sure I'd want a manual gearbox, are they the best option on the 3200?
