    MR2 MK3 all the way, cheap still, fun to drive, cheap parts and the JDM fanboys haven’t caught on to it, some very good engine swaps that are cheap and easy to do ( lotus Elise engine swap or Audi TT turbo swap etc )

    What counts as “low litre”? Because I know in Europe you guys have *really* small cars

    If you mean *really* small, I’d suggest something like a Suzuki Cappuccino. Think of it like a Mazda MX5, but really, really small.

    Honda Integra, Nissan 200SX, Mazda MX-5, Mazda RX-8, Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ.

    These were the first that came to mind with your criteria.

    Biggest silent bargain in the used car market rn is a Mkiv Supra. NA manual low mileage specifically. Folks are starting to realise na-t supras chop 600whp all day with a kit and unopened block (non vvti).

    -Suzuki Swift sport

    UK was part of the import boom luckily so many options. Cheap and jdm however nowadays isn’t a thing for something worth buying. UK spec s13 is a good bet if you want to learn to weld, any s chassis is for that matter. I liken them to an equivalent of a classic mini always going wrong and it’s usually due to bad maintenance previously. But easy to engine swap as engine swaps go, fantastic fun to drive and mine always puts a smile on my face when it decides to work.

    Loads of smaller engined fun cars to have it just depends on budget. Charade gti if they haven’t all rotted away is a bucket list one for me, starlet turbos also, mx5-s, Suzuki swifts or balenos, Type R Honda’s like the accord or civic, lexus is200’s, Micra’s, normal starlets, Yaris/corolla/Celica T sports.

    If my license was still fresh off the press though knowing what I know now I’d have bought an E36 318is, learned rwd in something that won’t take months to fix due to parts availability/cost and looked past the fact it’s not an s chassis. Good performance, look the nuts and don’t cost the earth to run if you buy a decent one.

    *Edit*
    Posting in a sub Reddit like this at least don’t have pictures of your chopper on your profile 😂.
