As the other lads have said, dont throw money at it, unless you can afford to of course The starlet can be great little car on track/ b-roads, but spend money on brakes and a decent suspension set-up. Can then outbrake/ take corners much quicker than bigger cars. I have tracked my first SR and my bro's current one quite a lot and its amazing that a pretty underpowered car can keep up with much bigger stuff in the twisities Of course having a turbo is a lot more fun, but as you said being young not everyone can afford a tubby! At the end of the day, its your car so do what YOU want! ;) Adam
