The Beast..
Its about time I started, a thread..
I wanted a MR2 that was different from the rest, not a easy task.
My goal was to create a machine for track and road.
The end result would be a 600bhp+ with around 550 hp at the wheels.
The completion date of all modifications will be completed over the weekend of 17 - 19th April.
I am lead to believe one of only a few road MR2 to have a Dash2 and Data Logger in it..
Further updates to come...

Re: The Beast..
Few pics of The Beast.... Nearly ready for the Le Mans trip...
A recent problem was the water temps... Apparently went to 130..
It turned out to be a knackered water sensor..
