Re: Fast-road/Track car advice - mk3 2ZZ or mk2 turbo?
Thank you, all. This is some really helpful input - and veering towards my preconception. MK3 2ZZ's are great on track, but speaking from personal and long term experience of an n/a mk2 and a 2zz (and 1zz) mk3, the mk2 n/a is hands down more reliable on track and will not give you half the issues a ...

Re: Fast-road/Track car advice - mk3 2ZZ or mk2 turbo?
I say consumables but my car hasnt been that bad, i've only used one set of tyres (started with Toyo T1R's and then upgraded to Advan AD08Rs) and i've been using the same set of pads for a while. I've just bits and bobs go wrong like turbos failing and gaskets blowing. But again my car was a bit ro...

Re: Fast-road/Track car advice - mk3 2ZZ or mk2 turbo?
The rev2 almost certainly has the edge in straight line speed, comfort if you're taller and a bit more practicality if it's also a shopping car. The rev3s are a good deal lighter and have an amazing turn-in on a track - they're little roller skates by comparison. They are probably a bit lighter on ...

Re: 1st Track day at brands hatch first time with my mr2 445bhp
as mentioned in your other post, cool vid, i would be a little more consistent on your hand position, it does tend to move around wheel which is what i read to avoid. and maybe its just me but you hold it quite high. Indeed, I'd be inclined to agree. You're nice and smooth already, and you certainl...

Re: Fast-road/Track car advice - mk3 2ZZ or mk2 turbo?
Are you the same guy who made the thread on pistonheads? As someone whos fairly cackhanded and slow I've had lots of fun with it but, it hasn't been cheap. Although I've tried to keep mine fairly road friendly (fixed bucket seat and removable steering wheel aside) i'd say the MK3 with a 2zz would b...

Thanks folks.

Fast-road/Track car advice - mk3 2ZZ or mk2 turbo?
I thought I'd register here to garner a bit of experienced opinion about an upcoming car choice. I'd really love to hear from anyone who has taken either (or both) on track, to help me decide. I've been bitten by the trackday bug in a hot hatch, and intend to up the ante a bit in 2017 (while hillcli...
