hahaha.
I know what you're saying! I put the turbo engine lid on my 3SFE because I prefered it
I would never go around saying it was a turbo when it clearly wasn't.... .......I can now though!
Ive taken my Turbo de-cals off. I should start a thread stating "Turbos pretending to be NA's"
I did it for the hell of it. Total standard exterior wheels etc..just two heavy zorst burn marks on my rear bumper indicating to any inquisitive eye that something is afoot and all is not as it seems.

Haha...its much more fun to race people in a stealth motor. They often drive off in thier evo/scoob/M3 etc thinkin thier motor must be broke to be outrun by a "standard" mr2. Quality!
Bah the evo is also becomin a chav chariot up in Glasgow too. A favorite with the local drug peddlers. Damn shame.
