depends on the money really. with a supercharger or turbo the standard engine will see around 200bhp, which will be plenty in that car.

It used to have one bucket seat, a set of driftworks coilovers and some 888s on it.
It has none of them now, but it's got Tokico dampers and some cheap lowering springs.
It's also got an LSD, which is most of the reason I went for this one.
I intend to do it as cheap as I can, but I want some 15s to put the R888s I already have on it, then some coilovers from somewhere, then that'll be it really.
It's getting a Gotech Mini X ECU tomorrow night, as it's currently got an intermittant starting problem, which I think is related to the AFM, or possibly the ECU wiring itself.
It's not going to be a big budget car, but that's why I've bought it, needs to be cheap and work well.

Yeah same Robin, we dont have a massive budget just after some cheap fun. We paid 900 for ours.
