1990 Toyota MR2 GT Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Expensive headache"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was tuned in Japan and is highly modified. Every aftermarket modification is a nightmare! UK tuners are totally clueless.
Problems include:
New clutch at 25,000 miles.
New power steering rack at 25,500.
Turbo timer broke caused engine damage at 27,000.
New head gasket at 27,000.
Adjustable boost overboosting at 30,000.
General rust.
The list is endless! The engine has so many sensors and not even the Toyota dealer knows how they work. This car has never run well.
General comments?
Crap!
I wish I'd kept the Renault!
