Silver Mk3

Post by Jimbob »

Silver Mk3 on the A12 northbound near Ipswich. TRD badges on back, decent looking exhaust and shiny alloys.

I bibbed and you waved when I turned off in a black Rev2 Turbo.

Were you turbo'd.....you seemed fast?

Heh, only just found this post, sorry for the late reply!

That was me! I have no idea why I didn't think of checking the IMOC forums, it was pretty obvious that you were a member of one of the MR2 clubs as your car looked absolutely amazing.

I'm not turbo'd (at least, not yet: got my kit on order though), I was trying desperately to keep up with you though! :oops: :lol:

Hi,

I thought it must be soemone a long way away as you didn't reply. Where abouts you from?

That seemed quick for Mk3, never battled one before though.

The old gal is looking a bit sorry now with 12 year old paint :( , but should be getting a respray soon :)

I'm from Braintree, in Essex. Was on my way up to see the missus who lives in Lowestoft, and I can usually be found on that road just about every Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening.

I wasn't entirely sure if you were N/A or turbo, but I sure as hell found out when I pulled over to let you past... :lol:

As if it wasn't bad enough trying to keep up with you, I also had a CTR trying to undertake me... T'was a fun 10 minutes!

I guessed you were heading that way.

Han't seen many decent Mk3's around my way, and I saw the TRD badges and exhaust so guessed it must be a good one.

Got it running a lot better now, got some great advice off my mate on setting up my AVC-R and it drives so much smoother now

Well I might see you about, we threatened to do a Mk3 turbo kit but we're just too busy at the moment

hey Ekona.... we are doing a rolling road day near you on Sunday 12th June - see the events section if you are interested - so far upwards of 30 MR2's in attendance ! :wink:

Seeing as you are new on the site I thought I'd extend the invite \:D/

Cheers for that, but sadly I'm on holiday that week! :(

Damn shame, as it would've been nice to see how my car is after I go turbo. Ah well...
