If it was the latest MR2 (2001) aka MRS, then that is correct. 60 comes up in just less than 8 secs.

The older MR2 (90-2001) had a 2.0ltr 16v with 168 BHp unless it was a JAP spec turbo which runs about 225. There was also a De-spoilered 119 Bhp version.

As for the original 80's version, Im not sure.

Blyndsteine B+ head and cams, depending on how wild they are would give u an extra 20-25 bhp

with ur other mods i would defo get a uni chip to get it all mapped and working at its best

so with magnex, manzal power box with K&N, Blyndsteine B+ head, cams, unichip = 150bhp+ easy

tourqe im not sure, but NOS is grate for upping tourqe levels, thats why it so powerful

they only got 138bhp ish i only got about 10 maybe 8 less thought i might have a chance it was close top speed of a GSI is 121mph MR2 is 130mph thats where he did me its might be the gearbox

The latest must have motor round my way is either an MR2 or CRX, I got hassled by a bloke in an MR2 and thought sod it and put me foot down we were neck and neck till about 115mph then he over took not rapid though, what can i do to make my car beat these, I aint racing no CRX if i am gonna get whooped.
I got a GSI with Magnex system, K & N and a mantzel power box its got the early C16XE engine. Its been lowered 40mm and is on 17's if that makes a difference
The MR2 looked standard which is worse
This is what i been thinking
1. NOS
2. 2 litre C20XE
3. 2 litre C20LET

dont really want to change my engine though

I dont make a habit of racing people but if it ever happens i wanna have half a chance, come on you all do it;)
