the two cams are for intake and exhaust..unless its beams then it will be made by toyota to have cam timing that works ok across the entire rev range but not built to exploit ultimate top end power at the high end..which isnt helpful for road use.

Has to be one of the cleanest and unmolested mr2s I've seen for a while now.

WOW, that's mega clean, and worth the asking price imo for a clean original rev2 turbo like that.

People would rather buy a cheap dog though and spend more than the above car costs, to put it right. #-o

5000 or so Mk1s so 26,000 Mk2s sounds about right.
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.

I agree, if I was in the market for a clean tubby then I would probably end up buying it! :mrgreen:
