Buying a mr2 to track day
Discussion
I have just bought a '94 Rev 3 GT Turbo for £1900 to use as a track car, it has had a full service including cambelt, replaced the ignition components just to be on the safe side and it has new disks, carbotech pads and decent fluid, taking it to Brands on the 29th.
They are good cars if properly maintained.

Good choice. Go for the turbo.
Standard brakes won't last. I opted for Carbotech XP10 pads, standard discs, braided lines and RBF600 brake fluid. Superb!
I've owned this for 5 years, and I have gave it loads of abuse in that time! However, suspected ring-land failure has put an end to things at the moment.
Engine is coming out over the winter and I'll rebuild it along with doing more to the car itself.
For the money I've spent I know I could be driving something more suitable to track, but I can't bring myself to let this go. Someone could offer me £15K for it today and I wouldn't sell it. They are brilliant cars on track, very predictable with the correct setup, but you sometimes get a bit drama if pushed too much... But that's the exciting part!
Any excuse for photos... :-)
