1) Honda Integra (DC5)
Where better to start than with a 500hp(+) Integra Type R? That’s more than double what it had from the factory, and comes largely thanks to a new precision turbo. Throw a five-speed manual gearbox with longer ratios into the mix, along with an aftermarket limited-slip diff, and it’s quite the package.
2) Nissan Silvia (S14)
This Silvia may have a 100hp deficit to the Integra, but it’s even wilder. The 2.0-liter four-pot has been boosted with a new stainless-steel manifold, different injectors, and an HKS intercooler. Thanks to a revised suspension setup and a welded differential, it’s a sideways hooligan, too—as evidenced by the pictures.

3) Toyota Supra (A80)
If you’re after something a little less frantic, here’s a fourth-gen Supra for you to mull over. It’s the non-turbo nat-asp model, so no 2JZ here. But it has received a few tasteful changes, including a sports cat-back exhaust, new coilovers, and braided brake lines, among others. It’s one of the cheapest A80s on sale right now.
4) Mitsubishi 3000GT
The Mitsubishi 3000GT is an awful car. It’s heavy and unnecessarily complicated, and it doesn’t have much pedigree. But that’s precisely why it’s one of our guilty pleasures. Here’s a low-mileage example that’s ready to go, or, if you’ve a little time on your hands, this big-winged, yellow-bodied project could be a fun punt.
5) Nissan Skyline (R33)
Anyone for a brown R33 GTST? It’s got positively offset BBS wheels, an in-your-face wing, and a Blackwall Tunnel-sized exhaust that supposedly spits flames. The RB25 six-pot is good for around 260hp, and the seller has carried out a manual gearbox conversion. Should turn a few heads on the high street.
6) Wildcard: Mazda RX-7 (FD3S)
A two-decade-old, rotary-powered screamer from one of Japan’s golden eras. The turbo pressure has been cranked up slightly to run on a ‘safe’ limit of 0.7 bars, at which point this RX-7 will send all of 390hp to the rear wheels. Looks jolly good, if you could bring down the asking price.
