Sweet, I used to have a supercharged and non supercharged one. You have to have a supercharged one with LSD... my non supercharged one was cool though. I also had a late model turbo one as well... it was insane, did a 12.2 second 1/4 mile and was good for a top speed around 255kmph.

Oh and check it out for rust.. they were horrendously bad for rusting out!

i suppose they are somewhat in the same boat as the staz.. majorly under-appreciated by the masses.

i've looked at them myself, but was turned off by the asking price at the time.

Probably to do with the straight lines or as my wife calls its they look like matchboxes.

could have had a supercharged one but I liked the finish on this car better and I wanted a car uner 200000 for once lol. plus I didn't mind not having the up keep of the turbo this time, insurance included.
and about 5.5 for the price.
If i still have the car when it need a new engine I will put the supercharged one in tho :D

greenstaz82 I wanted one of these cars before I had the starion but the price of the late 90's mr2 models put me off, 2 weeks before I bought this car I found one up for sale here that was supercharged but it was a little moldy in the boot and there was small bits all over the car that was a little rough. Really made me want one of the mk 1 mr2s tho. so light and small engine but all the hadling and power needed.
AW11 price isn't too bad though and the 1990 sw20

The car did have a fresh paint job and spanking brand new front/ back bumper and tires when i bought it. painter did't fix a hole in the front boot however and a bit of the lip in the back boot but Iwill get them done at some stage. just makes it lighter now hahha.

Have planns to make a lotus elise or lambogini curved back on it and have vents running up the sides to cool the engine bay and sepparate the pod filter with cool air running straight past from the vents.

please tell me you are going to paint the bonnet white again, rip off that wing and do something about that kit (ie refit factory bumpers)... please! rofl

i reckon the kit looks awesome, other than the ironing board of course!

I like it as it is. Probably get rid of the rear wing and leave it at that.

paradox · Post by **paradox** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:55 am

thought about changing the colour back but its a lot of effort at the moment, and the body kit was only changed because the original one was beyond repair. get it on the right angle and it looks skyline 31 style rear and a little 34 on the front lol. I agree the wing is a little too much tho, but until I fix up the rear section properly its staying.

rice thief - got a point there about the lines. thats what got me into the starions.
