Hey air well done. I love Mr2 Targa

They are baby ferraris.

Well yeah they sort of do. But yesterday we were crusin down Norton St in Leichardt and this yellow F355 being driven by grandpa is going the opposite way. Of course in Norton St cars can only go at 3km/hr and I looked at the Ferrari next to the MR2 and it looked nothing like the MR2 :D

But as long as there are no Ferrari's around, and people aren't too cluey... you can get away with it sometimes.... barely :)

it will beat an R32 GTST (with filter, exhaust & BOV) in standard trim :D

p.s. that's a modded R32 vs stock MR2 :)

Indeed, I can vouch for that too, they are not just slightly but considerably quicker than a stock R32 GTS4, probably over a second quicker over the quarter.

I SORTA looked into it once.......wrked out to something like $4000.00 NZD's for the kit + shipping to NZ from the states + fitting + painting.

In other words HEAPS!!

But yeah, it's nice alright!!

Ronin mate, u gotta be loving this thread! :D mr2australia.com isn't it?? :D

thanks a bunch for the 91 vid mate, i agree, not as good as 92 but still hella fun to watch the GTR's romp it in!

u thinking of a blue respary?? That would look totally hot on ur car....with white powder coated rims..... :drooling:

u got a timeframe for this?? or just an idea at the mo?

KiwiMR2: yeh it's hella expensive and not within my budget :D

SS8_Gohan: hehehe yeh I could start up mr2australi.com but I really don't have the time or commitment let alone the web gesign skills to do it :D No problem about the vids mate. I will be powder coating my wheels white and getting a blue respray. I wanted Calsonic R34 GTR Blue but not sure now. I am still considering other colours but blue seems the go ATM. I want it done by next years jamboree ;)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
