he bought it like that and tbh he didnt buy it for its looks he just bought it as he was gettin bored of his 300bhp odd 200sx
That thinks around 300bhp and it pulls like a train, it shocked me how much torque it had
jambo - he just used to same pistonheads advert as the one he bought off as hes only had it a few months allthough i agree with what your saying

You drive a 12 volt 
But it may have a cage soon though!! 
I've driven a n/a MR2 before and my dads old Cav redtop was much faster and that ain't nothing special. Plus, its common knowledge that n/a MR2's ain't that fast for what they are as standard.
a tank cav 150 bhp red top faster than a lighter RWD MR2 with 158 (90-93)
177 (94-97) 168(98+) bhp
MY ARSE.

Anything is more practical than my current care.
Insurance is my main concern now.
The twin entry gt turbos are all imports so group 20 insurance. I think there were some single entry turbos that were official UK cars so maybe group'd lower! gt is better spec'd than gts IIRC

gt spec is more luxurious than GTS yes.
All turbo's are imports, unless engine conversioned UK car.
All MR2 turbos were twin entry single turbo. No such thing as a Twin Turbo MR2.

Brillaint, even the non turbo one, bad image, from people who dont know anything, but go out in one on a track, and your see why there rated as good drivers cars
was on a trackday recently with my mate in his Mk2 and some of the stuff we passed and caught was amazing, down to a decent driver, and a very capable car
my mate has one for sale as well butler

Until you come to a corner, where the cav understeers into the nearest item, and the MR2 actully goes round it, without understerring

Insurance wise I think id be looking at an n/a version. Was your mates you went on the track in turbo or non? Im too bothered about the image. Want something fun and reliable I can travel across europe in and to le mans and to the ring.

I bet the MR2 is so much more fun to drive though in the grand scale of things. My Rallye isnt quick but soo much fun to drive.

I love my Turbo. Best performance car for the money IMO - fast, reliable, fun, looks good, cheap to insure compared to other jap import turbos (I'm paying £550 @ 24, 3 years no claims)
Oh and mines also for sale!
