As above.

Part of me wants an MR2 Turbo for the rwd turbo action, I like being in that cockpit and they are good fun.

Another part of me says... Girly car (no offence to you mr2 owners)

What I want to know is do you reckon they can look tough?, I think they don't std but I'm thinking black with that scoop down the roof to the engine, lowered, hks exh (or similar) and big angry black wheels?

Discuss

 

yes they can..... http://www.findit.co.uk/cars/kitcar/cars/678589.htm

 

we see these all the time at kit car shows, some of them are very convincing.

Dont think i like them myself, but hay im not gona buy one.

Brakes give that one away

All said, top marks to people who put the effort in to make something they want

 

no, no, no..

Not for me.

I want to see tough, menacing. Is it possible?

 

They are about 65% girly, 45% blokey

 

I'm curious, why do you say 65% girly?

 

Get a turbo and drive it hard and it aint girly.

My friend has just sold one (and bought a Impreza Sport!), which had wheels, induction kit and a blitz dump valve. Brilliant fun!!

If you want looks, get a Veilside Kit.

65 + 45 = 110

 

There are 3 types of people in this World... those that can count and those that can't... hahaha

MR2 Turbo... can they look tough?

Tough? Like the Power-puff girls? hahaha

 

Ive got a 98 mr2 turbo coming july, dunno why you would want to try and make it look "tough" im leaving mine totally standard.

However if I was going to try and make it look "tough" as you so gracefully put it, I would get the rear and front light kits from http://www.revision6.com

Firstly yes - generally MR2's are ghey

Secondly converting any car to look like a Ferrari is very very sad (and ghey)

Thirdly - I recently saw a black, lowered MR2 turbo with some very subtle changes and it did actually look mean(er) and OK to me.

 

 

MR2 Turbo gay? Hmmm... At what point does a car become a girly car, or a gay car? And what makes these scoobies un-gay? Mine will have almost 300 bhp after wednesday, and its a girly car? You trust a girl with 300 bhp?? Aren't awd girly cars, cos you need as much driver aids when driving??

 

MR2 with the TRD 2000GT kit on i think it is called, far from girly

 

got to get involved..sorry i want one...and MR2 that is i was toying with a fiat coupe turbo..but got put off buying one..so come on chaps and ladies..name me a few places where i can get one from be it import or non import

HELP!!

ps..this is not a joke or a wind up

 

www.mr2-direct-imports.co.uk www.neweraimports.co.uk seem to be the 2 main places. I got mine from Julian at MR2 Direct. They can souirce you a car to your own spec. This may take a bit longer as you might specify a lot of things, thus make it harder to find one. they seemed to be pretty good finding good cars to. I was interested in one, and they siad it was a pile of crap when they went to see it...

 

You could always make it look like this

 

thank you...

 

munna, just to point out neweras website is .com not .co.uk ie www.neweraimports.com

I am getting an MR2 start of July from Miguel

 

those MR2 kits which make them look like 355's would be ok if they didn't put ferarri badges all over them, that in my opinion is quite sad, leave it badged as an MR2.

As for getting one the two mentioned do seem to be the best although prestiege performance seem to be very good as well

 

Yes is the answer - a few from my picture collection:











Will buy another one in the future

 

Some more

 

Raiding the sold section for pictures eh Dream Weaver?

 

Some people are taking the 'girly' part a bit too seriously. As I said part of me thinks they are a bit feminine looking (better word?).

As Dream Weaver has proved they can look tougher

I'm not saying they aren't great, fast drivers cars. I was purely wondering if I could create a look I'd prefer (my own opinion).

I have driven a 1990 turbo and it was modified(exh, air filter, minor boost increase), on 14" wheels with massive profile tyres(for sale at a dealer, don't know why he had these on it?) and was a bit of a handfull to say the least, especially with an under inflated nearside rear tyre.. but great fun and I love the driving position and the look and feel of the cockpit.

 

Oops, cant add up, anyway you got the point, I like MR2's and its not a birds car like a Tigra or Puma, blokes can drive them and not look out of place (Nothing to do with Gay or straight), I just think the whole shape is slinky and a bit feminine, they are one of the most attractive cars on the roads today imho. A blokey car is a Skyline or a Supra, all bulges, scoops and bad attitude, an MR2 could never look like that, its way too small.

I am currently waiting to find out whether I have 'Aquired' an MR2 turbo myself.

 

how much are those ferrari kits?

 

I am going to get an MR2 kit when I get a 355....

 

Black ones look a bit tougher (like mine perhaps )

 

very nice

Looks mint!, like the brakes.
