111R - talk to me

Terry tibbs voice :-)
Being serious though am starting to get a liking for the toyota supercharged 111R. Whats not to like? So what should i be looking for apart from avoiding ones that may have been thrashed mercilessly on trackdays!
Whats a reasonable budget to get into one thats lowish mileage ie 30k or so and proper history?

Looking through PH classifieds there are sone wide fluctuations in prices around. Also seen a couple advertised but with 135bhp. I thought the r was the 190bhp model always?

[200Plus Club]

Ok cheers. I had seen one with a blower on the toyota engine and assumed they all were at 190bhp. Have been in an elise with the 200bhp type R engine which was seriously rapid.

Anything to worry about with the toyota engined cars or even the ones with factory blower? Never had a supercharged car and feeling need to scratch the itch :-)

Excellent keep it coming. Need to get out in one soon and see how one feels.

Thank you may well do. I have to sell my kit car first so not got a mad rush at mo but if it sells i fancy something upto 20k ideally. Was hoping to get into an sc but maybe just outside budget

Am fond of the elise as friends have them and ive been out on track with them loads. Went in a supercharged type r elise which was probably fastest thing on track then. Retained value is also good with them which is nice. Starting to look at cars. Should check insurance cover cost at some point too lol

Budget might be a factor. I'm downsizing quite a lot if my kitcar sells but dont really want 25-30k tied up in a summer toy for occasional trackdays. That might rule out the sc anyway?
Nothing against the K series as such as long as its been fixed properly. Ideally something with grunt, am coming from something with 500bhp in a similar size n weight package to an elise. Need to drive an sc really and soon!

If you want the CR SC above let me know. Could do with it gone before winter sets in!

Interested! But you'd have to bring the cr and cash lol! I have to sell my kit car first unfortunately to free up funds :-)
Looks beautiful and colour suits. Pm if you do want a genuine chat :-)

Am warming to idea of the supercharged cars :-)
Someone please buy my T70 and we can get busy then!

The weight and performance appeals and tbh i wouldn't discount an exige as i think they look good. Might be in a position to buy something next month if kit car sale goes through . I'm used to mine being 900kg or so and being very nimble. Cant wait!

[200Plus Club]

Yes i would! Slight hitch is you'd need to buy my T70 Lola replica first or find me a buyer lol! Got to sell it first or take a 111R and cash unfortunately. Lovely looking car you have

[200Plus Club]

I'm having one soon as I'm in a position to buy.
