Thats my mates rev 3 MR2 Turbo, has run a 12.9 qtr mile with basic mods... and is over 300bhp


Get a revision 3 turbo or newer and you wont regret it...

LSD, 240bhp, RWD, all makes for an exciting drive, plus you get all the comforts like climate control etc.

late revision 2 cars (like the one in the AT link) on a K reg will most likely have the LSD fitted too...

but they are slightly down on power to the rev 3 onwards, and suffer a bit if you turn the boost up...!
