hi m8s. Reading all your responses. It's a march 1993 uk spec so it must be the REV 2 model. So i'm assuming it's got 145bhp. But once it get's to 5000rpm it flies !! when did TOYOTA make it 170bhp ? it makes my previous marea 2.0 20v 147 look slow !! I am so keeping this car. Cheers Rob.

It's a manual m8. Also it's very good in standard form. I can't imagine what their like in modded form !! Nitrous anyone ? The best part is, it grips round corners like there's no point in losing ?
Compared to my previous marea, the 2.0 16v MR2 engine is a little rough below 5,000rpm but once you get it to 7,000rpm it sing's and goes like hell !!
Cheers.

Rob,
Get a turbo, when your bored of that one
Honestly, youll never look back!
I let a mate take mine out once and he was shocked with the pick up n go! Got to 60 in about 4 seconds! In the dry, its great at a set of lights. However in the wet, i had to let 1 litre novas do me!
Got some pics somewhere, think on my work pc. Mine was a k plate, mine had a solid roof, better for corners!

Ant. If you can find those pic's, I would like a look at those 4 sure.
perhaps in year or so I might get the REV 3 model in turbo format.

Clean straight car. Nice. like the red. I noticed that the dashboard had the headunit re-worked to house a single din, and added gauges for the engine. I might copy that one.
The only prob I have at the mo, is that the induction air filter seems to get damp from the vent above when it rains, I might have to move the filter a little further down. cause it runs a little rough until it evaporates.
Cheers.

One of the subtle differances between the turbo and n/a is that youll notice that the grates in the "bonnet" are flush on n/a and slightly raised on the turbo, displacing the water more. You could always buy a turbo bonnet from a front end smash car
Does yours have the front fogs that follows the steering round corners?
I loved that little querky feature
