Hi all,

Background:

Owned a 1.4 Corsa C and a 1.8 Corsa C, the 1.8 I tuned up to 140 bhp, I loved it. I decided I wanted more power, so I decided to swap a 2.0T engine (Z20LET) into it. Power increased to 220 bhp with a remap.

Biggest mistake, lets just say I don't like turbos, maybe it was the setup. I now understand what "Point and squirt" means, the turbo promoted huge amounts of laziness, not for me. I want an EP3 type R, and/or a 2.2 Honda Prelude. I can't find any preludes anywhere, they're all automatic 2.0 sheds, not the 2.2 manual! Really hard to find!

Anyways:

- Insurance group same or around an EP3 Type R
- MUST be N/A
- 180 bhp +

EP3 Type R
172/182
Celica
Corolla
Prelude

Are there any obvious cars I'm missing out, enlighten me?

Regards,
