It looks crap.
It must be pretty much undriveable too.
I had one with around half that power IIRC and it was a handful - scary in any condition other than bone dry.

"I have kept the car very very close to road driveabilty in mind and you will not be able to tell until the gt3582r turbo opens the 50mm waiste gate with a Roar which lets everyone know something very powerful is comming, something that has never been heard before by many people, who are trying to make out what on earth it is, but with a blink of an eye its gone beyond the horizon, all they see is a glimmer of black and white and as they glimpse the rear they are confused as to what it is that moves so fast that they can not make out its true discription."
Grade D GCSE At best.
As for the car, poop!

They're great cars when not messed around with too much.
Always best to keep them looking fairly standard and just give it a tweak in the BHP dept.

The lad selling it is quite an authority on MR2s. He was featured in the article on MR2 tuning a while back in Jap Performance mag. The car is a serious piece of kit and is probably one of the fastest Mr2s in Europe. However the advert is probably a little over zealous.

I'm sure but you have to wonder at the sense in spending what was clearly a lot of cash on a car like that.
If your going to do that then start with 3 door whale tail cossie, at least it would be worth something.
I would be very surprised if he got anything remotly close to what he wants.

That being the case then I think the likes of Andy F., Zen et al are all silly for spending such vast amounts of money on their cars in order to make them as fast as possible.
Shahid Mirza has quite possibly the fastest and most powerful MR2 in Europe. The fact that he did it with the challenging dynamics of the MR2 make his achievements all the more impressive. He does all the mechanical work himself and does it without a bottomless pit of money. Fair play slag off his literacy but to rubbish his achievement with the car is churlish to say the least.

Fair play if thats what you want to achive.

TBH i wasn't discounting his claims i mean any car that can crack into the 10's is very fast indeed (and he proved it), it was just how he worded his AD it just cracked me up to say the least.
Talk about blowing your own trumpet.
With regards to Andy and Paul - they can brag 'cos they own Scoobs

Agree Chief the wording does leave a lot to be desired.
