Re: MR2 Vs MR2?
dont you remember my mk1 turbo v mk2 turbo thread? remembering my car (now sold,sniff) going wap tish past many a mk2 still makes me smile
Re: MR2 Vs MR2?
ive put mine against geof gorners a few times, through to 3rd gear theres not an inch in it, then mine takes off like a rocket and leaves his standing (his on nitrous!!). But then he's blown his up so no more playing for a while. The results are to be expected given the two very different specs but its very odd that until about 70 mph theres nothing in it?

Re: MR2 Vs MR2?
ive only had i race against another MR2 and it went like this.
I floored it out of a roundabout on a dual carraigeway and this MR2 pi$$ed all over me.
The MR2 was Mark Edwards. I thought mine was quite quick, but unless youve got a bigger turbo dont bother.

Re: MR2 Vs MR2?

Mark Edwards car is a very tidy car indeedy, also Mike JC's is pretty damn rapid too!

Re: MR2 Vs MR2?

Re: MR2 Vs MR2?
Back in the day when I owned a UK N/A (rev 1), I had a brilliant twenty minute 'race' with a near-identical MR2 around the country lanes of Kent. My car was totally standard, and I guess so was the other one as we were perfectly matched. Thing is, I didn't know the roads at all, and thus when we finally broke off the chase, I was utterly lost in the middle of nowhere.
The second time was when I sold my N/A to a mate, and bought my first tubby - a black Rev 2 GT-S. We used to go driving together (in our respective MR2s) just for the hell of it, and would often have mini battles. Of course, my tubby whipped the N/A's backside every time, but it was great fun! Seeing people's reaction to having a black MR2 and then a white MR2 blast past them was brilliant.
Of course, that was all done in my younger years ( ), and I'm far more responsible and sensible now.

Aye Chris that was quite good fun. If anyone's interested I still have the photo's of that little run down the A12/A127 on my website gallery at http://www.blackbeast.co.uk - I think you have to register to view them but it only takes a second and you won't get bombarded with spam.

I'm serious! In fact, I've got a bit of a reputation for doing no more than 70mph on the motorway. At 17 or 18 years old, though, I'd try and max the car's top speed on the motorway, but I guess now I'm wary of killing myself/passengers/someone else or just losing my licence.

I was going to say about that but you've already beaten me to it.
