Re: Best MR2 Mark 2 For Me?

tbh as far as power and performance differences between the 159 and 172 bhp there isnt really much difference at all... the rev is slightly lighter so pretty much kps up with it... and as for insurance there will be no difference for u... i have a rev 2 n/a and its pushing 220bhp... and its not even...

Re: V6, Turbo Swap or New car?

Re: V6, Turbo Swap or New car?

Re: V6, Turbo Swap or New car?

firstly try out your local garages and find out if any of them are good at doing engine conversions and costs involved...
or you can go to the likes of rogue motorsport who are an mr2 specialist and are extremely good. they do a supply and fit on the turbo lump

Re: Rev1/2 light centre panel choices....

that panel that looked like the panel for the old ferrari testarosa looked good on the mr... very unusual but i have seen it done before... i imagine you could make up a new centre panel easily enuff from fibreglass tho to your own exact spec and it should be sturdy and safe enuff aswell
