1990 Toyota MR2 GT review from UK and Ireland
"An incredible sports car, a real pant filler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management light came on above 3,000 revs. No power lost. Fault was due to the fact rev counter had snapped.
Engine overheated due to blockage in radiator.
Both of which are completely fine now.
General comments?
This car is very fast, running approximately 320bhp with a stage 2 hybrid turbo, apexi dump valve and induction kit, organic uprated clutch and gear box with a single 5 inch muffler. Car has been lowered 30mm with 60 coming up in 4.5 topping out at 165+.
A very good looking car which I bought for a bargain. Previous owner used it for racing, I use it for the women.
It is Ferrari red and sounds amazing, being a T BAR you can really enjoy the summer without getting to stuffy.
The best thing about these cars are the fact you can here the turbo spooling up behind you then as you release the clutch the dump valve kicks in and whoosh!!!
There is not much this side of a skyline that can touch it. Give me any car and I will beat it!! Remember this is not a stock car I'm driving, you may have more break horse power, but I'm lighter!!!
You must get one of these baby's.
