| Hello everyone  My name is Charlotte, known as Charlie and my OH is Chris. We currently have 2 cars and 1 on the way... A Honda Integra DC5, a Toyota Corolla WRC '98' and a Mazda RX7 FD3S Type R. The RX7 is the new addition, buying her off a mate. Pick her up in a few weeks. She needs a rebuild so will be a while til we're on the road or track! The DC5 we use for track only and the Corolla is track and everyday use :L Look forward to chatting on the forum Pic of the cars:     And the new one  | |

| Cheers Corolla has just the standard 4AFE at the mo with 109bhp, we are changing it to a 20V Blacktop in the near future though, this will hopefully give her about 180bhp with a few other mods. Apart from new seats, a cage and some harnesses that will be it for her. The DC5 still has an ongoing shopping list including a cage and would love to put it on TBs eventually And as for the RX7 - well thats prob gonna be an endless money pit!!! lol | |

| Yeah you can do. The actual WRC Corollas ran the GT4 engine and running gear. We did contemplate this but its ALOT of work and decided to stick to n/a in the end Also it is possiblt to use the 3SGTE with the MR2 box to keep it FWD but then it might be too heavy at the front end and ruin the handling! | |

| Yeh thats why asked what engine was in it when you said its a Toyota Corolla WRC. Thought it might already have the 3SGTE engine fitted. Didnt know the WRC cars used the GT4's running gear though. Like the rare wheels on the RX-7 as well Proper jap stuff lol | |

| Well hopefully they'l pay for something else on the car then......i cant stick um!!! lol They'l be the first mod i make once she is rebuilt. Im thinking more along the lines of some Rota GTRs or Grids in bronze. I would love some more RAYS TE37s to keep in with the other 2 but they are damn expensive!! ha ha There are a few peeps on DW that like the Advans it has so hopefully they'l sell easily | |

| Those wheels will sell no problem. Depending on size/tyres decent ones for the mr2's go for between £400-700.

You have some fantastic cars, seen the civic at combe and the DC5, now know who they belong to.
Looking forward to pics of the new car when you have it.
Adam will be pleased, he can organise events at Jap shows with this influx of non-106/saxos lol | |
