Best thing IMO, is to add as much lightness as you can!!! Get rid of everything you can and then help the engine breathe with a free flow air filter and a decent exhaust. Kinda depends on your budget as to how far you go with the engine though. Lightness is the cheapest way to improve things cause its just taking stuff off that you no longer need...

well my budget is round the 5k but dont mind going over for decent parts
engine wise i've already giving it a decent service new clutch 4into1 stainless steel manifold, decat and a custom built custom chrome racing exhaust also fitted and indution kit

ive got two coilovers in mind which are

and

i dont know if i should go for the tein because you get the camber adjusting top mount

i want to keep the sound deading in but will be changing both seats for racing buckets and 3point harness and also a new steering wheel with a quick release hub (mostly for looks)

any advice would be great

Buy a 3sgte or a MK1.5...

if you mean a 3sgte engine? that what is already installed in the mr2 ?

3sgte - Turbo'd

3sge - Non Turbo'd

agree, but dont spend 5K! Keep it as a daily driver.

IMO If you willing to spend 5K just buy something else for purely the "track"...

Keep it as a daily driver.

learn something new every day

didn't know the t stood for turbo just presumed that it stood for different year of production

well i know must people will say keep it as a daily driver but theres one thing wrong i dont have room for anymore cars at my house and i want it as my daily driver but also a car were i can take it to the track have a few laps then drive it home again
also to try and make it a little head turner too

DECENT suspension and a good set of tyres and you should be set really. I would deffo be considering losing as much weight from the car as possible though. Has it got aircon??? If it has ,honestly, how often do you use it?? I would be tempted to loose it as its a very heavy item that IMO you just dont need in our climate..

I deleted the Air-con in the Datsun, it cuts out when it came on boost anyway, but seems to added moar go, less centrifugal weight on the crank y0!

Also, HSD's are the sh*t! amazing suspension for not much monies
