These things are legendary among the Japanese drift clubs. Apart from the blowhole on top and the flame-throwing exhaust, I quite like it. Tidy looking car.

my mates got a standard fresh import one northy mate n its a top laff! just the hairdresser styling thats questionable!!

turbo plus RWD equals lots of sideways fun, n that one ur lookin at mate is like 55bhp up on standard!! :twisted:

but 5 g could make a tired williams very happy........

These things can be made to go stupidly quick. Even standard they're not at all slow. That's a later one too, so has 240bhp standard (based on ST205 GT4 engine) instead of the earier 220bhp. Plus only 1250 kg, mid-engined, rear-drive traction :shock:

Are you sure it wasn't a non-turbo you drove Northy :wink:

Looks really clean too. I even like the air scoop :oops:

Be very careful though, cos they can be well frisky, particularly in the wet.

Does it mean it's done 70,000 miles, plus 50,000 kilometres? If so, it's done 101,000 miles in total.

great cars in honesty, like someone said though, styling is tres girly... which is a shame...

oh, a classic shape STi weighs less than them too and has more power, looks better and less dangerous... probably not much in them on the road due to tranny losses, MR2 will prolly be quicker actually if anything, but cant beat that flat 4 rumble from the classics... the only scoobs worth getting imo

looks good.

milage is 31,270 which is fook all.

dont think the wheels suit, and think what 5k could do for your williams!

oh ah zollo, didnt realise what revision it was, that new that is compared to me mates k reg!!!:wink:

mr2 turbo has unfair rep for bein death trap, they're actually quite grippy. i drove my mates in the wet n it was grippy as anything! if ur stupid it will hurt u, but thats true of any car in the wet TBH n the mr2 felt more stable than my clio did!! :shock:

The '94-onwards models had 241bhp Northy. That one must have been duff! :shock:

nah, st185 engines only make 205ish bhp, they aint fast at all... st205 is the 240bhp model... where you want to be tbh... still, I know it's slower, but i'd much rather have a Celica... far better looking car

Zollo
05-01-2006, 19:42
Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing :P

The 94' onwards cars had ST205 GT4 engines with 241bhp. Almost identical bar a few changes to make it fit (intercooler for instance).

It's the earlier MR2 turbos that had 220bhp from the ST185.
