1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Faster than my learjet!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I keep knocking the side mirrors off the car while racing through traffic at 200+kmph.
General comments?
I have owned a learjet and a couple of v8 supercars that I used to race. None of them could keep up with my mr2. I have kept the engine standard except for a boost controller and I run 35-40 PSI daily. These engines will run 35PSI without internal work.
Externally, I have only hand painted the body red, and added some neon lights at the front, a TRD window banner and an anodised blue cupholder. They themselves removed 2 seconds from my 0-150kmph time. Chicks dig my mr2 because its so cool.
Also, be sure to swap the front and rear wheels, as it makes burn outs easier.
The directors of 2f2f wanted to feature my car in the movie, but I wouldn't let them because its too cool.
GO MR2!!! GO TOYOTA!!!, I LOVE YOU!!!.
