I'm jealous... at only 1.4bar. I'm thinking I need a new mapper. Who was yours? What ECU?

Different build in his engine though, and different dyno...go through the basics on your set up first and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised where you get to next time on the dyno: you've got all the ingredients, just need to make sure they are set up right :thumleft:

Shahids m built the car, engine set the cams for smooth idle and and paul at rs tunning... mapped it with their own ecu typhoon 2 custom ecu they specialist in.

I wasnt wanting big power just something not boring that could corner better then my evo x... but I don't think it will... The evo x too sick around corners

No reason why it shouldn't match an Evo for cornering! All about the driver 8)

The MR2 won't understeer on the limit for starters, and having the tail out a little in the MR2 can do wonders :wink:

Lets face it Evo will eat the mr2 in cornering stakes but yes driver important of course 😊 but then that's not why we love our cars :thumleft:

Depends how they're set up I guess, but I'd definitely say my MR2 shows up the Scooby I used to drive - especially on local country roads :twisted:

MR2, like S2000 is a tricky car to drive well. It's a manly car :wink:

It's gonna be a good few years until I even begin to get the hang of it I think :oops:

It's always the driver... not the car. All Cars have their weakness and advantages a good driver will know when to use them and what each car Mr rwd 4wd etc is good for...

no Honda talk pls... never have power and most r fwd... gay! But the thing about Honda driver is the drivers. Honda guy said to me his stripped ep3 280bhp beat a fq400 evo@#$? Most of bs I have heard in this case it's car.
