Nice. I actually want a mix of the two cars

Just wait around for a salvage/wreck car or buy one from an auto insurance auction.

This might be a good race car to transition into. I bet I can fit a supercharger on it.

Yup I'm sure you could...but why? Just buy a WRX motor or hell an STi motor and you get turbo's stock. This car will be a hoot with the stock 265HP 2.5L STI motor with mild mods to boost it to 300WHP, the car only weighs 1550lbs in the R model, and 1800 for the S model.

For a toy car that thing looks perfect! I will however stick with FI on my FR-S to get my fix.
