Stickered up race-looking charcoal R32 on the back of a trailer going down Bayswater Road at about 5:15pm tonight. Plates 'GOZILA' I think? I swear I've seen the exact same one going down there on a trailer before.
If anyone is interested in reading a little bit of my story I did an interview with car blog Obsessive Compulsive Tuning Cars:

Part 2 to follow.
I'm not sure exactly, I haven't had it on a weighbridge. They weigh 1095kg stock. I'd say mine would weigh maybe 1150kg now? Just guessing.
Pretty good power to weight yeah
Your MR2 should be reasonably nippy.
183.3fwkw. Not quite as much as I was expecting but we think a few things are restricting it a little (intake and exhaust), boost drops off to wastegate boost pretty early on. O2 sensor hasn't been sorted yet so it's been tuned without one again until that's sorted. The entire loom section for the O2 sensor has been re-wired so it'll at least work once we get it in. Also split a CV boot on the dyno, messy!
Importing is good fun. What was funny is my car cost me $7200 in Japan, shipping, customs duties, compliance, rego, etc. came to more than that. It was still cheaper than buying locally at the time by at least $3-4k.
Nope. Bare in mind that's with a CES turbo-back exhaust. Made roughly 30rwkw over when it was dyno'ed stock.
It makes 250rwkw now with stock internals, GT2871R, Poncams, Pod, FMIC, Boost Controller, 6Boost Manifold, Exhaust.
