So! After having graduated, gotten married and moved into the Mother-in-laws house(free antebellum house living why not) in the last month, I am adding another to the list tomorrow after the paperwork goes through(not a car, yet). What that leaves me to is 2 things.
1) Save for a house and
2) Get a fun car.
The house is a bit out so I’m not worried about it, just the effort of saving for it. The car in the other hand is going to take me forever to figure out. My thought right is I want a turbo, manual, impractical car with RWD and new car features and reliability. My thoughts as of now are FR-S or newer 86. If I go the used route, then Turbo now. If I go used-new 86 route then Turbo in a couple years after warranty. My dad said he would help with the turbo so it’s just parts cost. Any thoughts?
I’m hoping I could find one in this lovely shade.
Other option my dad pointed out. 3rd gen Supra T with T top.
Also... forgot the MR2 as an option. Holy crap so many options all the sudden.

I have a 2014 BRZ and if I decided to go FI, I’d got with either the Edelbrock or Jackson Racing supercharger kits. The turbo kits make more power, but they all suffer from heat soak and reliability issues, and the two aforementioned supercharger kits are less prone to heat issues.
Really though, just start autocrossing or doing trackdays and you will realize that FI isn’t necessary.
Here is a 2015 with the Edelbrock kit and some other upgrades for $25k.

sw20s are super expensive now so maybe a clean one and no swap or a Spyder which are abundant and cheap and swap something cool. Maybe a FWD LS motor.
Other than that there are a couple other options if you dont NEED a toyota. Lexus sc300 turbo or sc400

Yeah, even Lotus uses the Edlebrock on the Evora now. It’s a solid choice.

The sad part is I only want FI for the noises... probably weird but whatever.

Hey, a Camry wagon with a 3S-GTE swap could be mighty fun in a sleeper sort of way.

Seriously - save all your monies to get into your own place and stop living with your mother-in-law, then worry about a car.

We’re not here because we have to. It’s a good setup for now and we’ll at least get an apartment by the end of the year.
