I have owned 1 before as a streeter so i know the car, there cheap, light and the handling is OK, and they are certainly different to most(which I like).

Looking at lots of cars at the moment and a AW11 caught my eye.

Anyone with/had one?

How about pros and cons.

Ive googled but the only reviews I've found are from owners who i think would be biased.

Thanks for any input.

which one is aw11, square or rounded.

I drove the latter at Wakefield a few years back (any of you noobs remember Tosh?) and it was a very good handler. traction out of corners was excellent and genuinely rivals the gtr/4wd. handling/mid corner grip was also great.

Also not as taily/snappy as people claim.

However it was totally lacking in go. so a no from me.

Its OK cause I am small, 4a motors are cheap and plentiful, suspension parts from other Toyota's fit(corolla), don't need mods as I will be keeping it pretty stock.

Tyres, brake pads, fluids/oils is hopefully all ill need to replace for a while.

And a cage if I'm lucky(convince the missus)

Im looking at the AW11 because it different to what every one else runs, Im not out to win races but to have fun.

Think I'm gonna do it

Slow is the new fast

Good move Mark!

That is one of the main reasons why I went to the MX5. Cheapish, fun, and its a great platform to learn how to get quicker on the track!

If you get it, you gotta do the sprints first with Ando and myself! Its uber fun! :cool:

Have you tried searching on http://www.toymods.net/forums/ for info on these things?

Could even find a few out there for sale!!

We'll chat at Marulan about it on sunday mate :P

Thanks Chris, good site, ill be spending some time there.

I sold my old AW11 N/A about 2 yrs ago for $500 because i was going OS and needed storage space, Im a idiot.

Something like this

or this if the guy would return my email

I'm off getting a race/rally only as it all sounds to hard, licencing, trailer, tow car(that would mean 4 cars and 1 trailer fighting for garage space.

Plus my missus might be driving it to and she likes the little MR 2, She laughed and said it would be a good girls car( ill show her, ill yell at her to prove that its not, when she is not at home of course, i'm not stupid)

What class would this car fit in ?

EDITED on 15 APRIL

Looking at Silvia's more closely now, the spare parts are everywhere and cars with suspension and other mods are in abundance i.e cheap

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
