Aaahhh, my old pride and joy. Are you following me around mate? Not happy with the 2 now? ;-)

What have you done do get it from 270bhp to 300+ - don't forget that the MR2 can only handle 300bhp on stock internals.

Wasn't sure about the wheels at first but they look good, still prefer the Advans though :-)

Understand you wanted to change the wheels mate, just hope you got a good price for them as they weren't cheap ;-)

Tezzas are good cars, happy with mine. I went for an auto/tiptronic RS200 so the auto box is going to hold back any performance mods but I am hoping to do some handling mods soon and change the wheels.

Glad to see you're taking good care of the 2 :-)
