An MR2 is a hard car to get use to, mid engine cars are VERY different to FR cars...
Honestly I think your best bet would have been with a Gts-t R32, then I would start looking at a silvia prolly S13 with an SR20DET in it. I was looking into an FC for a while but they are just to fragile and people want way to much for them
Get a Gts-t man they are the best bang for your buck if you can find the right one
