Show Us Your Motors!

Went for an early morning run out to the beach yesterday

Your MR2 looks as superb in those photos as it looked the first time you posted it on here, and that's quite an achievement!

It's a shape that's aged quite well too.

Still not keen on the wheels though!

 

[Dale V]

Thanks!

The cars 24 years old and I've had it for 13 of them, its also never been painted. I only take it out in the dry and it does about 2000 miles per year

Have I seen this on YouTube?

 

[Dale V]

yes with dannydc2, thats when it was running ~400bhp, were now above 450. Probably 475, i need another dyno day really.

That's the one! Looked mental. I think the wheels are spot on, very period correct.

 

[Dale V]

Thanks grudas, hopefully he'll do another video of it one day

I love it, and I do like the wheels as well. About the only car I've ever seen with 3 spoke wheels that I like! (though I suppose you could argue they are actually 6 spoke but you know what I mean!)

Not really an Audi fan but I really like that RS4, still looks great for an 06, bet that supercharger turns it into a right beast.

Blimey they're holding their value well for a 11 year old car.

How much power with the supercharger?

How much power with the supercharger?

not posted in here for a while, technically i have owned this since the end of june but its been away for a new clutch and bits and bobs.

Supercharged B7 RS4, circa 620 bhp, full milltek and so on, stage 3 remap with full throttle changes and launch control

thanks, yes they are crazy money.. mine was 26k..... and i sold a f10 bmw to get it, there a real nice drivers car

That MR2 must be a death trap with that much power, dry or not!

There's a pedal on the right that helps you modulate that part

 

[Dale V]

I dont use it in the wet, only dry sunny days, I'ts very involving to drive and the power goes down without any fuss even when launching it (yokohama AD08rs), it handles great also. as frozennova said above, the throttle isnt an on/off switch.

No traction control/ no ABS, its back to basics and not relying on technology. Far from a death trap if you treat it with respect

I was referring to the snap oversteer these get, and once gone, they are gone!

 

[Dale V]

I think people over exaggerate that.

Once theyre gone, you have to be quick to catch it, but it really is perfectly catchable!

Its all about learning how they behave... Hell, even my 65 year old dad can hang the back end out at 70+ mph and hold it.

The combination of Drift King, MR2 and Prodigy. Could watch this all day!

 

[exhashdotdot]

Man, they really don't make cars like the MR2 anymore.

I feel like the GT86 / BRZ and that Mazda above are about the only modern JDM sports cars I like now.
