So, i ahve a fully modded mx5 which i have done sunday cup, clubman cup, fr challenge, spider/roadster cup, 80's sportcar cup, NA cup and have almost completed the turbo cup.

I have $70,000, what should i get?
 
I would vote PT Cruiser or a Civic so you can attack the FF challenge. You can also take these cars into other Beginner's league races. You shouldn't need much power or parts. And then get a MR Spyder or MR2 to do the MR Challenge. Don't buy ANY parts...these races are sooo easy.

How do you find the Beginner's Leagueso far? Pretty easy, eh?

Incredibly easy, my MX5 is fully modded, what do you think of the idea of getting a echo/yaris/vitz/wtf and using that in the echo/yaris/vitz/wtf and ff races? (i have a 100% savegame with a ton o' cash so i can get any car fully modded for stock price)
 
Actually, you're better off, not modding the MX-5, as you could have easily completed the Roadster Enduro. But... If you're not seeking a challenge, and simply wish to burn through the game, I'd look at the Ruf 3400S. It can be entered into many of hte races, therefore saving you cash, and expediting your run through the game.
 
I'm a minimalist sort, and so I tend to go with what's cheapest and/or suitable for the races at hand. So yeah, the Echo/Yaris/Vitz is a fine choice(s).

As Der Alta says, you don't need a fully-modded anything to complete the beginner's league. I mean, a sport suspension here. A computer chip there....seriously, it doesn't take much unless you're trying to enter a kei car or something. I was really shocked at how easy the Beginner's League was. But it doesn't stay that way. The game definitely gets harder so keep at it.

Another Miata for the Roadster endurance race?

Perhaps pick up a Skyline (likely R34-series) to assault the higher-power Beginner-level races (in stock form) and later the, 'Race of the Red Emblem' series in the higher ranks as you gain more money for upgrades. That thing can last the entire game; they can be tuned to enter speed contests such as, 'Like the Wind' late in the game.
 
My first second car was an Evo V, which (while vaguely slower than the VI) tore through most of the non-race car races.
 
I bought the Lexus IS, purely for the fact I worked for Lexus at the time; it helped me with the FR races and the Altezza series (even though a stock IS is outclassed in that series), and some races later on.

I think in my first game of GT3, I bought maybe 5-6 cars, until I completed it. So many good prize cars...in a second go-round of the game (nearly completed, except for most enduros and the Formula GT series), I bought almost all my cars, except for winning a blue Miata from an all-gold B-license.

So you could probly answer this question for me. The Lexus IS200. Was it ever sold in America? I thought the smallest IS we got was the 300....

Sorry if this is so abvious I've missed the point, but if you've already got a 100% save game, why are you re-doing the game and rushing through it by using the save game to give you fully tuned cars etc. Doesn't that defy the purpose or re-doing the game, you might as well just re-race the championships in the 100% save. And if the 100% save isn't yours and this is your first time through, again, if your that fussed about getting there quickly, why not just use that 100% game save and bingo, you're already there? There's no point doing things in halves. Apologies if I've missed something obvious.
