Just thought I'd share my 1995 MR2 turbo - had the car for almost five years now and it's been in the hands of JDModified for the past year getting road spec'd - the car isn't pushing crazy power, but just shy of a daily handy 300hp.

I like the look of this even though it's not my usual cup of tea. Are you on imoc and mr2oc?

Get some outside pics up!

I'm on my 3rd mk2 MR2. This one is NA (had to sell the turbo and got the NA to save some cash). Badly want to get back into a turbo. I've tried a range of other cars but nothing comes close to an MR2 turbo for all round performance.

They're certainly stating to get rare now. Take good care of it!

Really, a whole year? Sheesh! I couldn't imagine being without one for that long.

My only experience of their work is from many years ago when he was operating from next door to the Hampshire County Council Highways Department Depot at Hook. It wasn't a good one. It is quite possible that things have moved on and improved since then but in the meantime I wasn't about to take the chance.

300 is a nice useable figure for a road car. No need to mess around upgrading the internals thumbup
What engine management/boost settings are you using?

Thanks guys, I'll get more images once she is back out. But really can't wait to get behind the wheel again as always super fun to drive.
The guys at JD i found to be really helpful, but I guess each persons experiences might not always be the same, but they've so far been really great in dealing with the car, keeping me updated - it's been a year as this is just a project, so I've had the time to leave it with them and fit into time they have spare

Cheers guys, hopefully bring her to a Sunday Service at some point
