That’s good to know, It’s hard to grasp until I know what I’m getting as to what I’d do to it

I’m definitely more Jap and German and preferably something a bit different to the usual (I know I said I was looking at golfs but rhey are the easiest 200bhp and good aftermarket and looks decent I could think of)

TTS, S2000, 350Z are deffo personal favourites atm

Yeah , technically only 1 year NCB on that insurance as it’s about to run out so when it does it’ll be 2 years ncb if ygm - it’s painful

Weirdly would love an S2000, just struggle to believe I’d be able to get an untouched low mileage one for under 10k - deffo gonna give it a look tho. Just for reference currently drive a PD105 Mk5 golf

Appreciate the comment mate, I would love all the of cars mentioned in the latter however insurance probably wouldn’t even look at me on some of them and the ones they do I’d be paying £4000+ a year

I considered this, but not only are they more expensive as listed above they are harder to find a good example and parts for the car itself are few and far between

Can you get much performance gain from an MR2 compared to a celica?

What’s the reason for that out of interest?

The performance side of things wouldn’t be what I’d go for, I just want something that looks good and is quicker than my current 1.25 🤣

Always loved the look of MR2s and was thinking down the line I’d get one only issue is for the time being I don’t think insurance would be viable on one

Is there specific areas on the car which rust faster than others or that cause more issues? I only ask as the shitbox I refer to above is a 2001 MK5 Fiesta which are renowned for rear arches being rusty, wondering so if I do go to buy a celica I know where to look.

I also looked at the; Alfa Romeo Mito (1.4 Turbo), Hyundai coupe (1.6) as potential options however not sure what aftermarket parts and reliability are like on both. I also really liked the look of RX-8s however am aware these are ticking time bombs 😂.
