if you haven't bought the car can I suggest an alternative? My race/drift/autox car is a AE86 (1986 toyota corolla) These cars handle amazing, I ran a supercharger on it, turbo it, pulled it out and now currently running a lexus v8 (1uzfe) you get under your 2500lbs curb weight no problem and they go like stink. Beware of the intital D tax though. If you can find them - a 81-84 toyota starlet, the curb weight in full trim is 1600lbs just to throw it out there....
