Re: My first 1/4 mile in the MR2 - Santa Pod today.
The only reason I'm surprised is my other car's a 2wd saff cossie, and that doesn't lauch well. Okay, it's mostly down to horrible camber when you load the rear, but the cossie is far more powerful, hence my quicker 60ft in the 2, but hugely faster terminal in the cossie. Car is a REV2 with a boost ...

My first 1/4 mile in the MR2 - Santa Pod today.
Took it upon myself to take the MR2 up to the Ford RS day at Santa Pod today, and give the car a bit of a pasting up the strip. I'm only running about 10 psi, so not mega boost, but I was pretty pleased with the runs. Finished with a best of 14.32 @ 96mph. Pretty sure I could have got the car into t...

Re: Guages
Yuo don't actually NEED loads of gauges, but I'm paranoid.
The OTHER car runs Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, EGT, Fuel Pressure.
The MR2 just has Boost and EGT.

Re: Help Clear Up Some MR2/Turbo Myths - Experts needed
So I did :wink: To help explain it better, here is a letter written to EVO by one of the cossie lot - printed about six months ago: Picture the scene, it's a Saturday and Evo 070 has been delivered (yes I subscribe ) and pending a few chores is waiting at home for when I get back. Upon my return, ri...

Re: Newbie here!!!!! pics too........
To be honest, I've had so much fun in the MR2, that the cossie may well go soon. I've spent so much money on it, and it's been in the build process two years, so it's so easy to lose heart (as you probably know John). Cossie has always had a little Jap influence though - I'm quite partial to Defi ga...

Re: Help Clear Up Some MR2/Turbo Myths - Experts needed
Basically what was mentioned before is correct about "wastegate chatter". Chatter it certainly is, but it's nothing to do with the wastegate.

Re: Newbie here!!!!! pics too........
John, That's certainly a nice selection of cars you've got there. Quite like the Locost - my next project is a Tiger Avon with a 2 litre zetec. We have a bit of a car mad family, so I can appreciate the "getting it in the neck" - just had to give up my 205 1.9GTi because of lack of space. ...

Looks nice.
Not sure why he's got two Stack dashes in the car - one's expensive enough as it is!
What are the rear lights?

Newbie here!!!!! pics too........
Just found this forum, and thought I'd say hello. A few people will recognise me from the MR2OC board as I've been there for a few days. Just bought my first MR2 - car is a 1993 Turbo in black, and although I thought it was standardish, it would appear to be nicely modified. Couple of pics: http://i...
