• Cheap NC will be as rusty as a cheap NB. I quite like the mk2.5 NBs, they started feeling more like a 2000s car rather than one stuck in the late 80s. I can't really comment on an MR2, I know they've got a stereotype of dodgy mid-engined handling but like the S2000 I believe it's over-hyped.

  • Oh really? I thought rust was sorted for the NC :(
    Looks like there’s quite a few special edition 2.5s around and in budget (and that look cared for), might go that way then.
    MR2 is even more impractical but meant to be top lols and cheap to run...

  • Mr2 Mk3 knacker engines. Oval bores so use oil, and pre cat disintegration.

    I have a mk3 with the engine removed and am looking for the a celica engine for a 50bhp boost. Similar to the Lotus Elise.
