....(i have something new waiting to be picked up the weekend)a car with
PROVEN horsepower claims, and to say the car has had no expense spared is an understatement, i have a whole draw full of receipts for service items and mods!if you want a car thats had a load of time and money gone into it, your looking at the right one.
ive been a member of the forums for nearly 5 years now, and would like to think i know my way around the mr2, so most if not all mods and servicing has been carried out by myself!

slight oil leak coming from the cam cover
(prob gasket needs doing)removed A/C, to save weight, tho with a tbar, a/c is hardly needed on hot days!
nearside wheels have very very slight curbing, were only talking 5-7cm or something, not all round the wheel.
(and started to loose the laquer seal)central locking sometimes likes to play silly buggers.
being pretty finniky there, but none of these detract from the look or performance of the car at all!!
summerydrives great, handles well.
...lots of useable power from as little at 2k rpm! has sweet torque and power curves as seen on the dyno sheets, so pulls well throughout the whole rev range!chance to own a car thats taken FOUR years of my life and money.
..easily 8-10k werth of mods, labour and service items have gone into the car....i will happily take people out for a test drive, unless you have insurance on your own mr2, your welcome to take the drivers seat.
..with no valid insurance on a mr2, or previous experience, it may only be me driving...open to sensible offers, and general comments of what people think its werth!!
