Yeah I think that get up with a meersham pipe would be as good as it gets. Perhaps a faithful collie dog at my side just to round it off.

I have two collies. I should bring them to a meet one day :laughing-smiley-014:

If the engine was in the middle,... does this mean it would be in the cabin ? :)

MR2's are indeed rear engined,... kind of explains why the intercooler was on the boot now doesn't it.

MR2s are mid engine hence the acronym Midengine Rear wheel drive

Difference to remember is basically the lack of rear seats in an MR2, Honda NSX or british MG type cars (also better handling). Rear engine cars like the porshe and VW beetle tend to have more snap oversteer crashes and rear seats. Also i seem to understand these rear engine cars gain an advantage of traction for dragraces having all that weight over the driving wheels kind of like an Front engine Front wheel drive car but in reverse - i do understand that especially with the turbo porshes from the 1980s turbo boost would come on suddenly and fling the rear around to such an extent that legal action was attempted to be taken against porshe as their cars where dangerous because of the boost and rear engine factors kind of worked like a pendulum. Mid engine cars do still have snap over steer - i can attest to this however apparantly its no where near as bad as on rear engine cars or so Top gear would have us believe.

ya.. I want my 2 min back as well. If u want to impress us, try not teaching us how to suck eggs!

you ever even driven a porsche? They are a bit twitchy sometimes, but if u use your BRAIN more than your right foot, they are quite a strong bit of gear.. its very easy to see that porsche was building a real sports car, for drivers. Not over confident weeeeners..

on topic:

I got sent a pic of a Gold MR2 to my fone 2 days ago. This car was in brizzvegas.. intercooler ABOVE the hatch! One way of getting fresh air to it :)

haha this owner of a toyota Kluger has some issues i think his supposed to put a TRD sticker on a toyota not a Rallyart lol spot this thing all over mt gravatt

    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
