Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Advice on work to safely run this setup...

Glad you agree on price, although I'm pretty sure I'm gonna find out is has been running on stock internals if I'm honest- but still a good price even if that is true, and I've got cash left in me pocket to rectify that (I was shopping for a supra... #-o ) It's got a twin plate clutch, so should be ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Advice on work to safely run this setup...

Hey Matt Yeh- to be honest you know as much as I do, the guy in Japan I spoke to said that he was 'too busy' to see if any internals work had been done, and now that he's sold it he doesn't want to know cos the price would have been too low.

Re: [All] [Generic] mental mr2 for sale!

Greetings- newbie member I'm afraid :oops: Yeh- I was tempted into buying it, it was the stock looks (barring the alloys) that swayed it...that and the apparent attention to detail in the mods that had been done, looks really well thought out- I was shopping for a supra at the time #-o Expecting it ...
