Re: turbo timer

surely only on public roads.....you can do what you want
on your own land ie no tax mot etc driving under age like on farms and speeding..at race tracks etc no insurance.tc so i think the law is only valid if parked on road.

Re: MR2 Super GT Race Series for 2010

Patrick i can not see anything that states a space frame could not be made up and effectively a light weight body of some material being placed on it as long as it had the regs suspension etc etc and of course an mr2 silhouete. cost aside would this be possible /out lawed would be exciting to have a...

Re: MR2 Super GT Race Series for 2010

Patrick Regards the comment about Torque,,, Does the data logger efectively monitor the BHP and not torque . I assumed it was an overall power index.

[Mk2] [Turbo] What are these struts called and where to get ?????

Approx the location of the gear box and rear fire wall is a strut which apparently always rot out.
What is this called and where can i get a replacement.
I presume it is some sort of chassis stiffener in which case are there any uprated products if this is really needed?
Thanks
