is this a trd lol joke

Post by welshboyo »

alright guys i have already posted this thread over on mr2 oc he wanted my scooby but obviously thought i had mug written on my forehead.
this is the e mails he sent me?
there Daz as asked me to send you the details of my car to you regarding your car, can you send me some pics and specs of your car similar to what i have sent, the car i have is not turbo but if you read the write up you will see its a very special car and very rare, also the extras on you wouldnt get from aftermarket and being a TRD its near on the same perfomance and power of a turbo only slight differences but potentially it is quite capable of performing alot better, its faster top end as it is and a little superchip could make it alot faster bottom end, this is much better than a turbo, the fuel economy is better, also cheaper insurance and you dont have the unsightly rebuild costs every 30k like you do on the turbo models also the turbos only do 132 to 137mph mine easily does 140mph the 0-60 on a turbo is 0.5secs quicker than mine as mint is 6.8secs 0 to 60, take a look and get back to me or daz eitherway as i have been offered a Sti scooby which is nice and worthy of a swap for mine but the distance is along way lol (wales) 4 hours drive 396 miles lol for me can you send me similar info about your car much appreciated Andie
Toyota Mr2 T bar Rev 4 Non Turbo Import TRD tuned

Private Plate worth £1895 reads Jeoff x valued by Reg Transfers currently on sale on thier website and pistonheads can make deal with car only or car and plate

The car has wanted for nothing, the car drives totally faultlessly and is a pleasure to drive very fast and very resposive, i have looked around autotrader and to get a mr2 similar to this one is non existant although a standard mr2 on a Rev 4 or Rev 5 to compare to mine you will be looking about £4500 to £5500 easily and like i said another TRD with aircon you wont find one i have not been sucessfull in my search especially with low mileage like this one on the Rev 4, and being the TRD even rarer and more desireable

I spoke to a MR2 specialist in Kent to try find out what the car is actually worth, i sent him pics and specs and he came back to me stating £4500 as this is what he said its worth, although the book price doesnt reflect this price i think a specialist that sells more than a few a week at these prices should know lol, being a TRD and very limited its hard to see what it is actually worth and technically is worth what someone will pay, but if you scout round autotrader you will see nothing like mine on a Rev 4 and you will hit 4500 before you find anything to rival this one in mileage and condition as well as extras fitted

you would be impressed if driven and turns heads wherever it goes, the car stands very nice and looks the business very clean and tidy, in fairness the plate is worth £1895 and the car is easily worth £4500 you have easily got 6k for the car & plate, i like the mr2 and am not really bothered about selling, but its very fast and too fast for my partner who i bought it for as she passed her test in may this year, she is happy with using my Escort Rs2000 4x4 (which is also up for sale) to go to work lol women hey you cant live with em you cant live without em hehe

I am not a Boy racer i am 40 yrs old and just like my cars, TRD is a very high spec tuning company that originated in Japan, they have done some extensive tuning to all sorts of cars, to give you an idea my engine in standard form pre TRD is 173bhp, the stainless exhaust and Induction filter add anywhere from 25 to 30bhp combined your looking at 200bhp, although i used to have a standard subaru impreza on a 2000 w reg and i would put this against that all day its very fast and lets face it its a true sports car not one thats been made to perform like one, this one does it naturally

Andie

come on mate you have come on a mr2 owners club and tried to sell us this crap :^o

Good work.

Fair play to try and defend himself.

I know its been locked but that was probably getting a bit heated.

unsightly rebuild costs every 30k like you do on the turbo models also the turbos only do 132 to 137mph mine easily does 140mph


30k rebuilds and tubbies only doing 137? :^o
