I was going to save up for a LET to go in my sport, but can't be arsed now. Had an MR2 and want more Jap turboness so saving for an R33 Skyline 
Im going jap and rwd next, the way forward. Stage 3 200sx is looking to be my car of choice, would make sense seen as we are 200sx specialist's at work aswell.

Sounds good to me
The MR2 GTS I had with a Greddy turbo, Nur Spec R and Blitz BOV on full chat sounded awesome!
Only sold coz of my friggin visa being £3k

No way there is only like 2 in the country  that would be sick if you did an XE transplant then every one would look at you as if your the only person in the world who has one

yeah mate go for it - you'd be better off breaking a nova for its engine tho as there the magical blue tops, try an ebay supercharger instead of shelling out alll that money and a LET

what you want slash is a ebay resistor mod ! i sware they add nearly 40bhp! my old 1.2 corsa used to smoke scoobies and m3's all the time off the lights! and if you truely want a fast street racer, fold down the rear seats to save weight and fit 13's with chrome wheel trims for faster acceleration and less wind resistance (while looking pimp!)!
