Ooo ... a car I always had an eye for!! Does it still have the oil cooler etc between the exhausts?

Could be tempted!!

Gawd ... even I could be tempted to get another MR2 with ones like this coming up!

What's your idea on price mate? PM if you like

Steve Cordiner hammered one at Elvington a year or so back in his rev 2 turbo. He was running about 255 brake. Graeme I doubt it was a genuine GT2 then. Either that or he was just pootling round. It was at TOTB actually Lauren, so I'm sure he was a one careful owner type. I over took him through 2n...

GTO TT's are good for 13's on the quarter at around 100mph, similar to MR2 performance. Not astoundingly quick above that though when you compare it to say a Supra

Its the ultimate dyno because you can't fudge physics, the higher the power, the higher the trapspeed.

Precisely!!

12.5 1/4 mile at 110mph
12.5 1/4 mile at 120mph = much more powerful car, less good driver

Well suppose there a reason why top tuned mr2's use them?

Who?

All the fast MR2's around the world seem to cope quite well with the variety of jap cams available. Just my 2p

In my own time Earl

Linky no worky, thought I'd give it a go http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220050620985&rd=1&rd=1 When I've looked at the photo's there seems to be some white areas on the sills. Is it my eye's playing up?? Looks...

Also I think we generally do drive our cars harder here, Nissan sold 50 or so official R34 Skyline V-Spec's in this country and they added oil coolers on the diffs and a few other bits and bobs as we drive our cars much harder in there opinion, they probably know better than any of us! That's nothi...

TVR ..... sounds lush ....... when it starts

My Proton GTI's on ebay if you're that smitten with it

Will try and put in a guest appearance

We'll see.

Not much matches the bang for buck .... also I suppose an element of better the devil you know!

Yup, driving a boring hatch back at the moment. I had quite a lot of debt to clear after my tubby turned crispy and I'd just bought my flat so I had to go with the sadly sensible option for a while.

I may come back

Glad to see nowt's changed whilst I've been away

When you going to pop up and take me for a spin in it.



Lol ... two days later ... *Steve prices parts up again*

Jobs a gooden Graham!!

b0ll0cks to the fly wheel, hubs, wheels readings and differences. No one will agree on it, so all that matters is .... is it fast

Steve,
What you doing back on here, `Proton boy`!!?

Came on to see the results!

Not as good as I'd of hoped tho.

Surprised you're so shocked at the result against the lambo! Two years ago I over took a 911 GT2 going down the 1/4 mile at TOTB

Use a degree wheel mate ... it's the proper tool for the job. A few degrees makes a huge difference with cams.

I found with a staggered HKS combo, 272 in / 264 ex it can be well worth tinkering with the exhaust cam to bring the power on a little sooner!

mr2's were never going to score well on the 1/4 mile will all the supras etc. He he .... what have a 700hp supra and a 400hp supra got in common ...... they both run 12's in the 1/4 mile \:D/ Shame no one has posted an 11. These big turbo people would do wonders with a little shot of nitrous ... it...
