I know, but some did.

Probably out of my budget anyway!

Still got the Saab?

My 328 didn't have LSD.

Are IS200s not dead?

Anyone got anything:

Yes still got the Saab, still going strong just hit 140k, was tempted to get a newer 9/5 9/3 estate but will probably just keep the old bus going.

There's a lot of soarers going cheap on the mainland and I think @Darragh had a a02b diff from a supra which is the same as the soarer ones so an easy swap. Seen v8s and twin turbos going for about £1k.

Think I saw the Saab round Monkstown the other day... A soarer for a grand would be the ticket! What MPG from the V8 dare I ask lol?

Yeah probably would have been around there. To be fair the soarer isn't bad for a v8 used it to work a few times and was getting high 20s on a mixture of roads, parts are fairly cheap and not hard to get. Auto box is pretty good as well and if you get an exhaust for them they sound class. Sure if you want to have a look round mine give me a shout.

^^^^^^
e36 m3 convertable would have and LSD also, would be hard pushed to get one in budget.
MX5 would be easier tho.

Let us know how you get on, fancy something with similar specs myself

I've an is200 here that £1000 will buy.

Roofs like the Irish Sea but has a real good diff. Best value for money car I've owned.

Thirsty yes. Slow, kind of. Crumlin direction.

Back tyres pumped to 50psi and it'll take 3rd in the wet all day, and it's cheap enough that if you pile it through a hedge you get a taxi home and buy another in the morning lol

I've my old mx5 here if any use to you? 1.6 but open diff. Bubbling on the leading edge of the front wings, could do with a tidy as it has been sitting a while + no longer on the wheels pictured
