Hey all ... I have just picked up my new MR2 Roadster and it is superb! so nice and refined but still pretty fast! I cant believe they say it can do 0-60Mph in 8 flat as I reckon it has too be faster than that! It is such a cool car to go crusing around in with the top down although I have had to upgrade the stereo and speakers as they just werent up to scratch!

Congrats.

The MKII turbo can do 0-60mph in 6.0s flat.

really!? Why would Toyota say that it can only do it 8.0 if it can do it 6 flat!? Has this 6secs flat been recorded somehwere and was it standard?!

is this the us version tho as I obviously have a uk model or are they the same? Cheers for the info!

have you thought about a turbo kit? you'll be running much faster in no time

you ahve lots of good aftermarket support for that car!

No I havent thought about an aftermarket turbo kit ... would this be recommended on a mk 3? Also the insurance is stupidly high at the moment anyway only being 21 so I doubt that I could ever afford it with a turbo kit! YOu got any website's I could check to see about an aftermarket turbo kit anyway?? Cheers!

Lots of aftermarket turbo kits for the car, very very fun!

The MR-S i've found to have almost if not more aftermarket support than the MKII!!

www.takakaira.com try there, im sure you could find a Phenix Power (sp) Turbo Kit, or Power Enterprises has one too i think. As Does HKS if im not mistaken. They also ship globaly! Good Luck!

insurance doesn't have to know
