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 :)

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.

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 ;)

      Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg

      RB gearbox options

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.

      VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
