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

Also spotted a Holden VL Turbo with MAZSpeed windscreen sticker on it wat a crack up ..

    • So, we now have a straight and clean boot lid inbound and the car goes in for paint, again, on Wednesday, and will be ready on Friday, all ready to get cams and stuff on Monday  And by straight and clean.....I mean a brand new OEM one that cost..... $1300....😪 Sadly there's no clean undamaged used soft top version available, plenty for the power retractable hard top versions though, which is arse and makes Mark have the sads I could have waited longer, until a NC sort top boot lid eventually turned up, but I'm sick of waiting and said fark it and made it rain cash, meh In other naturally aspirated news, one of the guys at work brought in his old Corola which had a 4AGE in it, really nice clean car with lots of mods, including ITB's, man that things induction noise sounds sick with all of the dorts that makes you smile......maybe the NC needs ITB's, yeah, basically for the noise they make, but they're pretty expensive, but, they sound so damn good I may bring this up when I drop the car up on Monday, and by may, I mean I will🤣🤑🤪🤣
    • If you squint hard enough those horrendous barracuda wheels look a bit like r33 GTR ones!
    • ....that still needs to be retrofitted to take R134A also.
    • The Frenchy's kit linked above, will cost you about the same as factory Nissan. The difference with staying factory Nissan is, you'll end up with an inferior AC system.
    • 50k for an auto series 2 now. Does have a battery so probably adds a bit.
