Must be - how do you see out with all those dials stuck in your face and how do you change gear with a stuby like that?

(NB: Yep, I do see how well done a build it all is)

Some of those prices look like they've paid quite a bit over the odds for the parts too, though. Especially since they should only have been paying trade price???

Yeh it's not done as well as other big hp 3s-gte I think the map is based just to get a high peak power fensports build is about the same bhp but way more over the revs

Jesus! Look at the other cars for sale too! Not a fan of MR2's personally but would love the Supra!

Their other MR2:

This car used to be our drag car producing over 900bhp, we took it to the drag strips and could not get the power down to better our best 1/4mile, we nearly lost control many times after 3rd gear onwards and it was very scary!!!

I'm not surprised!

It has seats from a Mercedes slr costing £5000 each! Why would you spend £10k on 2 seats?

Here's some vids of a friends MR2. Big power and big lag. Similar to what the car in question will be like....
