The Beast..

Post by MR2 Turbo Boy »

Its about time I started, a thread.. :thumleft:

I wanted a MR2 that was different from the rest, not a easy task.

My goal was to create a machine for track and road.

The end result would be a 600bhp+ with around 550 hp at the wheels.

The completion date of all modifications will be completed over the weekend of 17 - 19th April.

I am lead to believe one of only a few road MR2 to have a Dash2 and Data Logger in it.. :thumleft:



Further updates to come... :whistle:

Few pics of The Beast.... Nearly ready for the Le Mans trip...:)

A recent problem was the water temps... Apparently went to 130.. :-k

It turned out to be a knackered water sensor.. :thumleft:
