For 12k you could buy a GS300 and turbo or do 1JZ or 2JZ into it. You’d end up with a heavier car than what you’re probably looking for but it’d make more than 240…

I’ve also seen supercharged GS400s before (older body style) for 10k, but it would be an auto.

You could be unique and buy an Infiniti M30 and do a VQ swap or LS1 into it?

Don’t know what your feel is on older cars, but a MkII Supra (pre 86.5) is fairly light. It would be pretty quick with a 7M-GTE in it (after you do the HG, haha).

E30 w/ M50 or S50 swap, some very nice ones on BF.com but I know you have/had an E36 race car so maybe that’s played out to you… Nice E30s don’t seem to be too “common” though…

I know these are all project ideas but if you want a car “as-is” then it’s not really going to be rare. Or you could look for someone’s unfinished project for like $9 and spend a couple G making it “your own”… Probably the best compromise as far as budget / making it unique is concerned.

12k FD would seem to be a nice choice though…

E30’s are a solid option. It would have to be something VERY well done though.

I found a minty looking FD in cali for 12k. If only I could give it a test drive and get it back here.
