147bhp 2.0 turbo with RWD some of the UK cars had "handling by Lotus" badges and trim - these are meant to be pretty good. I really like these cars but I don't imagine an auto being much cop tbh |

Suzu, Turbos gave lots of problems; - modern bearings,machining, should give better results.

I really like these cars but I don't imagine an auto being much cop tbh I'm going to have to keep an eye on this one. i bet it could drift, it dosent seem all that different from the ae86 ive allways wanted |

Oooh - shiny! I would be, if it weren't front wheel drive :/ I'm seriously thinking of getting that Polo as a runaround, and then give it to my fiancee when she passes her test. Ideal car for Guernsey really... I'm afraid Polos are FWD as well! Polo being FWD is fine for the Fiancee or as a runaround - for a big car - only RWD will do for me  |

...ew! That's horrid and wrong - they used a ROVER Pushrod V8 in it, rather than grabbing a 1UZ-FE from a Lexus in virtually any breakers. And they used FORD brakes? Whats wrong with hilux ones?! *shudders* I wish people would 'keep it in the family' with classics  |

The sr20 went in a dream,like it was made to go in there (nearly). I'd have perhaps gone altezza beams black top and 6 speed and supercharged it if i had an endless budget. |
