Just sold my rev4 sonic shadow and i'm gutted

[sam1176uk]

Think this is the 1st time i've been gutted to sell a car, been swithering for weeks whether to or not but that's it away now
When you put a lot of time and effort into a car i suppose it's natural.
What to do now...

[JJ]

Onwards and upwards !

Go take a pokey little deisel for a spin out !! You'll laugh at how torquey it is and how frugal it is !!

New Beemer 320 D - 8 secs to 60, 140 mph tops... and 68 mpg average !!

[sam1176uk]

Lol no diesels for me please!
Think it's because there are so few good MR2's about now that i know how hard it'll be to find one as good.

[dazzz]

What sort of MR2 are you after? A turbo or N/A

[sam1176uk]

Was thinking about either:

Modified Mk3
Mk2 Rev 5 n/a
Mk2 Turbo

...

[bluesmoke]

Personally I'd be looking for something more, so would rule out a Rev 5 n/a in your position, as it isn't really an upgrade!

[sam1176uk]

Suppose it's not, there's a nice modded Mk3 local to me but the price is a bit high, trying to negotiate at the moment

Dont diss the diesel power mate, my missus 04 plate 330 beemer leaves mr2 turbo's for dust, even mildly modded ones. And my Honda civic 2.2 diesel will stay along side a tubby no problem and its only about 140bhp

Diesel power is the way forward

[todd]

You'll be pleased to know my brother is over the moon with it

[fimmo]

for the next 3 months at least!!!

[todd]

as long as that, doubtful

[fimmo]

i might buy it off him, always wanted a sonic shadow!!!

might sell my rev 4 turbo trd, or the rev 2 3.0 v6 to make space...... maybe;-)

[sam1176uk]

Lol was that your brother todd?
Good car he has there, hope he looks after it!

[todd]

Lol was that your brother todd?

Certainly is

Believe me, it'll be treated like a new born baby

[sam1176uk]

Glad to hear it, i nearly changed my mind at the last minute lol

Come on, serious.

The 330 would be close, the 2.2 civic, forget it!

From a rolling start, say 30 or 40 it would be close but off the line 0-60 diesels are lame

The 330 is sooooo much quicker than a tubby mate, straight up, Iv'e had 4 tubbys to date, and i drive her 330 most days so i know the difference. As for the civic, its not all about the bhp, its got just over 250 lb/ft of torque, and the way the power is delivered through the revs / gears,

[todd]

330d faster than a tubby

My e46 330ci M Sport was great but no way it was faster than a tubby and the 330d isn't faster than the petrol.

Like you I've owned a few tubbys.

[Chris]

2.2 Diesel Honda. Faster....Errr No.

330d BMW. Faster....Errr No again.

The tubby's you owned must of been fooked.

^ What he said.

330d's are quick, but not mk2 tubby quick.
