MR2 Supercharger? You know it makes sense.

Supra?
too old and tired
too damn small
Interesting option - go for this one, though it's not as freely modifiable as the turbo motors.
Why not get something mainstream and European?
Volvo S60 T5 manual - 250bhp as it comes, 310 is a chip, 400 quite common (chip / turbo /some other pricey bits), anonymous, comfy, subtle.
Volvo S80 T6 - 280bhp as it comes, no manual option though.
Vx Signum, turbo, chipped - not huge power but looks different if you get a black one and tint the windows. Cheap as chips to run too if you work for a Vx dealer.
VW Bora 1.8T - getting cheap
And that's just looking at the Vs.
Don't be neccessarily scared to go BMW again, just make sure you research any common faults first (hate to be the one saying this, but I'm sure I won't be the only one :-))
An S14 or better, but they tend not to be cheap for a good one.
The Glanza is a well specced little car just looking for an FMIC and upping the boost. How about a manual Sera. Not cheap or very quick, but very cool, funky, weird and distinctive. And you know how solid toyotas are. After your points come off, the starlet motor or the 3S-GTE can be stuffed in if needed.
Good choice. If you aren't fussed about FWD If you want to get a bit of money in the bank this time, have a look at either an early Skoda Octavia vRS or even a TDi, or an as late as possible 850 T5-R.
The 850 will be surprisingly cheap to insure, and the Octavia gets you a lot of kit + 4 good seats and a decent sized boot.
Toyota Corsa? LOL - that could be an addition to my "namesakes car collection" :-)
Don't forget the Chevy Nova and Triumph/Seat Toldedo
It was a great little car. Hatch back with pop up headlights. 1.5 litre intercooled turbo. I thought it went like stink at the time but I was used to land barges like Ford Falcons and little cars like Ford Escorts. I ended up getting rid of it because getting parts was a total nightmare. I still miss it.
