mr2 vs scoob ?
. Boxes on gtir bit slow on gear change for me I had to change box in mine lost reverse gear lol I had an mr2 mk2 rev one before I got my gtir . It was only the na 160 bhp mr2 but didnt half shift . It wast as quick 0 to 60 but get it on the bends and it was off I left most things standing that I came across :-) that car was born for corners :-) .gtir was fab on corners too my scoob not so good but will be when im happy with suspension etc. I do love corners.
Your scoob should have eaten it on the strait.

My standard Impreza Sti V4 with a decat system was no quicker than my MR2 Turbo GTS Rev 3. Completely different drives and you had to have ***** of steel to take the tubby into a corner with any speed, especially if it was slightly chilly or damp! 
But in a straight line at least, the tubby was just as quick, if not a tiny bit quicker than the STI. You have to drive one to believe just how quick they are in standard form.
Don't believe that the scoob will race off into the distance. 4wd is just not ideal for straight line speed. Just ask him to wait till it rains, then request a re-match!

anyone run into any trouble with a little tuned starlet yet ? just out of interest , really like them too if built properly with a td05 16g 
anything over 200 brake in something as light as them must pull well once moving ?

My mate had one a couple of years back, that thing was lethal in the wet, wheel spin through 1st,2nd and 3rd didn't get into 4th you just couldn't put the power down in it, the same lad had a gti-r too, he got that too around 320 then went through 4 gearboxes as he used to launch it by side stepping the clutch, it even came with its original umbrella, it was a nice motor supposed to be a china colour but he always got the pi$$ taken as it looked beige next to the white starlet, lol
yeah miss mine to great car but had to watch it or it would try to kill ya
had a 2.2hks stroker engine all built and ready to go in but needed more sensible car and ended with my scoob

hi all , my mates just got himself a version 4 mr2 turbo and tonight we was having a play 
now my impreza has had thousands spent on it and his mr2 was £1200 standard apart from big twin back boxes and an induction kit , so would imagine about 230bhp? as its old now and probably lost a few pony's ? my 02 wrx has 360.1 bhp and 320lbs ft of torque , now i know imprezas are really all about 0-60 thats why i got one 
but on a long straight already travelling at 40 then foot down to 120 the mr2 stayed level its a quick little bugger ! but im a tad dissapointed in the scooby after all that money to be honest thought id slaughter him ? now im thinking about a rwd already cos i like the idea of all the power going to 2 wheels not 4 .
