We love the AE86-chassis Toyota Corolla just as much as the next person, but the infamous "drift tax" has made finding decent examples very costly. The next best thing? How about an AW11-chassis Toyota MR2 like the one forum user Vracer111 just recently picked up?

Dang, so I have to get busy now... thanks a lot! LOL

Just to be clear, that Burns Stainless exhaust shown is one that was on my FR-S: the exhaust on the MR2 is currently still some muffler shop put together thingy... still functional but kind of rusty and not pretty to look at. I definitely plan on doing a Burns Stainless exhaust for the MR2 though... love how the 2-stage quiet muffler sounds, should work well with the 4AGE.

Hmmm that's interesting.  I never knew I bought a car that was already in "your projects."  I was out in the garage tonight working on the power to manual windows conversion and installation of the T3 door panels.  The car is going a slightly different direction now, but will still follow VRacer111s lead.  I will be honest, I think it's going to be way more fun to drive than I ever imagined.
