Trust me I'd use it :D

On the motorway I basically set a speed around 80mph anyway, and never change it unless there's heavy traffic. Just have to anticipate etc...

I do do a few night and early morning journeys to the airport so would be damn useful jut for that.

What parts are needed to retrofit the original cruise control to rev2 turbo? I'm so spoiled by my daily driver that I use cruise control whenever I can and I really like it. I want the same comfort for MR2 too :D

Plus it also avoids unneccessary speeding tickets.

believe i or not i had one fitted on my rev1 g limited, out the factory i would assume.... it would be helpful for you guys to know that it wont allow you to go above 70 :(

just something to think about if you like to travel quickly, otherwise its lovely for thos A roads!!

You can retro fit it, BLZ-8027 has done it I think. If you have an import with a speedo converter, with a bit of jiggery pokery you can wire it in to the speed signal that's sent to the ECU which means it will work up to 80 instead of cutting out at 50.
