the mr2 turbo is a good choice a college/work mate has had about 5 of these over the years and his last 1 before he got banned was about the 340hp mark and he played with scoobys, evos, m3s and never once came of 2nd best

Hello there and a very warm welcome to TorqueCars. There are lots of great cars out there. What about a Nissan 200sx turbo?

Hello there and welcome to TorqueCars, great to have you along and you have an awesome car there.

If it were mine I would want to exploit the lovely V6 burble and get an induction kit with a cold air feed and a full miltek sports exhaust.

What is the handling like?
