I looked at buying one but decided against - mainly due to the looks .....

However, I did like it alot !

FWIW IMO it goes like stink, particularly in 3rd onwards - boost is restricted in 1st and 2nd ... It has a heavy clutch, steering OK. Handling not as good as I expected but OK.

Plastics are hard but def OK and the build was much better than I expected.

Space inside is very good and seats are very comfortable.

I am sure it would e ultra reliable and great fun - I just decided the looks weren't for me ....

WIfey runs a "cooking" ts2 and it's comfy and reliable. Crash.net has a test of one where the only thing Scott Mansell didn't like was that the Mirrors that come with the Aero pack are too small.

Yup I got taken by surprise by one of these in my nearly stock Rev 3 MR2 Turbo. He pulled away faster(checking the midrange torque figures these have explains why) and I only started reeling him in when we reached ^cough^ some leptons whistle
