Jamesy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 While my car is off the road getting fixed up i have managed to keep my Jap hunger at bay for now with my new run around 2nd car.... Its a UK spec GT Coupe. Picked it up last week and really happy with it - has a few nice mods on it, have put full spec and pics below, hope u likie!! Was going to sell it on, but after driving around in it i think im gonna keep it now :D SPEC: 1995 MR2 GT Coupe Black alloy wheels with polished lip Cat back twin exhaust Drilled & grooved brake discs Sparco quick release steering wheel Lowered and uprated suspension Pioneer CD player with iPod connecter Clifford concept 650 thatcham category alarm & immobiliser with dual-zone proximity sensor Pipercross filter Pipercross induction kit TRD white dials Blue or green illuminated dash Short shift gear stick Silver racing gear knob Racing pedals They are 173hp standard, so i guess maybe with the few mods it might be 185-190hp now....also got a decat pipe to get fitted.

Wez Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 How much did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I had one of these good choice, although mine was a T-Bar. To give you an idea mine had an induction kit, decat and mongoose exhaust and made 178hp @ the fly which was around 140 at the wheels from memory. Great little car to hack around in, used ot return 400 to a tank as well on a sensible run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benedwards64 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Nice! Got a big soft spot for MR2s, I had my Mk1 for over 18 months. Head over to the IMOC forum for info/advice etc, they're a good bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanx mate is that better than the mr2oc forum?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benedwards64 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 It's all down to personal preference really - I joined both when I got my MR2, but over time I stayed with IMOC. They'll both be a good resource, I just tend to recommend IMOC as that's where I've always gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just fitted my decat pipe tonight and has made a big difference, Much more than id thought it would. Is now louder and a lot more throaty, and seems to be a lot more responsive! Happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
