I hate to say it, but I think the big powered cars appeal to a much smaller market than standard(ish) cars these days. There could be absolutely nothing wrong, but when ever they go up for sale, they're the ones that hang around the longest. i agree. the car looks great, and i thought i knew a bit ...

excellent!!! thanks!!

Hi guys, sorry if this has been posted before but ive tried to search with limited results! Basically id like a 2 t-bar which i can use occasionally (when the sun shines!) as a daily drive (once or twice a week) and which would be OK on the track. Im on a limited budget so only have about 1-1.5k for...

thanks a lot for that mate great help.

now all i need to do is sort a car and budget how much this little lots gonna cost me!!!!

thanks, thats what i thought. What would happen if you hit someone else? Also, say your 2 goes pop and you cant drive it home, how do people go about getting recovery back home? I have RAC cover but im not sure if they would cover a car thats been on a track or not! lol sorry for the n00b questions ...

Hi guys, question, whilst we are on the subject of track days, whats the deal with insurance, is it compulsory on the track?

thanks,
Dave

lol ok!

yes, i dont really fancy meeting a wall.

so the handling is the main diff then? which could be solved with smaller wheels?

should I be put off by a rev1 though? and maybe hold out for a rev2? or put in a cheeky offer of £1500 and see what happens?

thanks!

can anyone tell me if its a rev1 or 2 from the pics?

DVLA says...
Year of Manufacture 1990

this would be rev1 then? correct?

thanks!

update: i have just found a cheaper one...

any advice?

might be able to get 6 months tax for the asking price as well? i know its a 1990, but less miles.

you'll get a better one than that for 2k mate seriously, 100k miles??? i wouldn't pay 2k for that :thumleft: best bet is one off of here tatha has been looked after, there's been looaaaads of good ones sold over the winter on here :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft: really? OK OK ill wait! :-P i hate ...

nope, ive upped my budget to 2k and might be going to look at this...

many thanks for all the replies guys! the car that I was looking at was this one... http://tinyurl.com/23cxzfe he hasnt sold it, but maybe its too tuned and might be risky? i have about 1000-1500 to spend, originally i had up to 1k, but i figured if i wanted a turbo i would have to up the budget a b...

ah ok, so rather its just the things that could go wrong with it being a cheap car, not just because its a turbo?!

the one im looking at its a rev 2 and cover 100,000 miles, should I generally expect a fair few problems?

Hi guys, im a newbie on MR2's (used to own a celica). Im thinking of taking a punt on buying a cheap MR2 (as a second car), just wondered what you guys thought, should I stick with N/A or go for a turbo (which i would REALLY like) but as I understand it - more to go wrong? Is there anything to look ...
