for the money i'd probably have it.

you will need to modify the exhaust for NA, and keep in mind it will be much louder as there is no turbocharger to muffle the sound.

Take the MBC out (run straight from the turbo housing to the wastegate) and make sure the car is not overboosting then. Could be a split vac line - I had that problem on my turbo. Could be the ball and spring stuck inside the MBC and not working at all..

check the photobucket link - OP has more than enough pictures there

have fun sourcing saab parts

only thing that was ever an improvement to how the MR2 looks from the TOM's kit was the rear spoiler... rest is kind of meh, bland.

Looks like a Fujitsubo indeed, the NA version - pretty rare!

I'll have a read through DVLA. Cheers for the pic.

what is the path to registering the car in the UK ? sorry a bit newb in that scenario, really like the car

Also you say it's a fujitsubo legalis R - that's a turbo exhaust - has it been modified?

yup, I think I have a clear picture now

sigh.. waste of time, this thread. The shop that repaired the car didn't tell you what was wrong with it ?

whatever, really.

Car has now completed another 300 miles or so and gone through multiple daily start ups and is driving and charging just fine. Finally my thanks once again to Pan Autos for sorting everything for me. R. Fantastic news, so what was wrong with the car? I'm pretty sure all of us in this thread, in whi...

To be honest it was pretty quick even stock - just getting into one from a MR2 might be a shock to the system if you try to corner quickly somewhere. They seem to be pretty solid otherwise...

i drove a 2.5 2006 WRX (non-sti) and it was quite nice to drive, a bit more modern inside, traction out of corners nice but gotta be careful with the throttle - otherwise you will go wiiiiiiiiiiide. This car was stock so probably with a couple mods could improve it. Pretty fast even with the 220-ish...

ah, I remember this car from Luke's - looked mint!

We've locked the thread before, but OP specifically asked to re-open it. So here it is.

cat is a huge piece of cast iron metal, i have no problem believing it's close to 10kg...

edit: OP requested an opinion on price, I retract my remark. Alanmr2turbo, thank you for bringing this up.

I would love to hear what actually happened to the engine.
This story is pretty hilarious, especially the bit where emotional distress comes in. It's a car.
