Re: Mr2 spider for sale in Japan

Tis a fair point, well made...but c'mon that is a shed load of cash for basically a G-limited with the roof cut off innit? But someone did pay that for it...my guess is a collector with so much cash they don't care, they just want the car as part of a collection. In which case rarity and other inte...

Spider

That's its sale price so that is what it's worth in the current market place. I do think it's cheap they are rare cars and that car is a grade 4 and the mileage is good. If I was looking for a spider I'd have been all over it. Iv got quite a few jap cars at the moment and yes I like my mr2 we are on...

Turbo choices

I'm not really chasing power big power numbers just after a more responsive car so I can actually drive it faster if that makes sense. I'd be happy with 420 ish as long as it spooled fast. I'm really interested in that g25 550, is there an equivalent Borg Warner turbo? Also am I right in saying I wo...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo choices

I'm currently running a gt35r turbo and I'm looking to swap to something which spools faster so I have less lag and power coming in at lower rpm.

Has anyone used the Garrett g25 550 or g25 660 and does anyone have any power graphs of these on a 3sgte? Any other turbos I need to be looking at?

Re: Mr2 spider for sale in Japan

I didn't start this as a what's an Mr2 worth post. I had been looking round in Japan for a nice rev5 turbo and had noticed that spider for sale and being a special car though I would post it up. Show me another one for sale. Rob put a list of cars up sold prices from unknown dates of the 20 cars on ...

Re: Mr2 spider for sale in Japan

Isn't the Boxster s you are comparing the Mr2 with a 2005 car? The sw20 was about 1989 so you can't really compare them. Iv actually got 4 different cars at the moment and yes my daily is quicker than my Mr2 but the Mr2 has something about it and my daily being a 2015 car is going to be better than ...

Prices

The rev 5 turbo on that list is repaired and has 272000 km I mean who on earth is going to buy that? The rev 3 Na is a grade 4.5 with low miles £5900 hammer price + shipping and duties etc. If you look for a high grade low mileage rev 5 turbo you'll see prices are on the rise. I was told last week f...

The Orange Mica non turbo one looks great condition and low KMs. But £17k :shock: Have you seen the gold rev5 miles are high but still looks good https://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/TOYOTA/MR2/700020819530200328003/index.html The white rev5 turbo with low miles is very nice too https://www.go...

Spider

It's a repaired example so value would be higher for one with good history. I was on the lookout for a fresh rev5 turbo with low miles In Japan and Iv been told price is now around £25k for a low mileage late spec car landed in UK all paid etc so prices are on the rise

Mishimoto all the way with the twin fan setup
