Thanks Draven I got the rev1 na 3SGE. I'd love a 3SGTE but insurance wise the 3SFE was only £240 for me and my partner for the year so hopefully the price wont shoot up to high after the swap is finished

I've been a passenger in one. and it felt very slow in comparison to a Rev3 3SGE..
I've also been a passenger in a Rev2 auto. I have to admit that felt almost as slow.

I'd love to feel the comparison of a tubby right now while the FE is still in my system as it's less than 2weeks since i started swapping

I love this emoticon ^ it feels so right hahaha
Re: My first MR2 :)
Yes the turbo is a completely different animal there are loads of 2 owners up in scotland. If you go to a meet then i'm sure someone will give you a passenger ride.
Re: My first MR2 :)
If you're ever in the midlands I would be happy to take you out in mine. Also looking forward to pics.

I much prefer white, blue or even yellow! They look stunning clean. The black is ok but you only have to park it for 20mins and you can see the dust! Better get used to cleaning haha.

Welcome to IMOC.
My first MR2 was a 3SFE. I took it to a rolling road day, and she put out 99bhp.
I had the engine removed, skipped and a rev1 turbo fitted. What a difference.
That was 4 MR2s ago
Enjoy it mate, looking forward to some pics. You need 15 posts or premium membership to post pics.
