That's a beaut, Pete. Good find. I can't believe how cheap these cars are nowadays.

How about one of these to cart some spare wheels to the track:

unfortunately not...

S-16, No competition type tyres, only msa listed 1a, must be UK road legal at all times (more than 1.6mm tread). No tyre cutting allowed.


MSA lists are here:

Unfortunately R888s don't come under 1A.

Nice motor Pete, I agree with Scott though, it's far too nice to slap on a BGW and zombie stickers, but I guess it's your car, to do with as you please.

Have fun with it.

If it were me.....Turbo conversion, Nur Spec, JDM rear lights---->Enjoy! :mrgreen:

What's the point in thay? I have my focus which is quicker than it would been even after throwing all that money at it..
This is a track car purely and simply...
I agree it's very nice for what I'm doing but that's why I gotta sticker it.. To make it so I don't care if I dink it.. It's 800 quid
And I wanna drive in track where you can drive properly like you can never do on the road ;)

And I wanna do sprint series hence the change ;)

Fair play mate, although at least in a turbo MR2, you won't have wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th on acceleration, like you would in the ST. :wink: :mrgreen:
