What were the old rims? I liked them in a retro kind of way, but the new ones (CR-Kais??) look excellent, especially with the yellow paint.
What was the brake upgrade?
Old wheels were Heroes racing rims, but thanks !What was the brake upgrade?
Brakes were just new fluid, stop tech pads and some decent discs. Lot better now.

Few changes , swapped the wheels as didn't like the dished ones any more.
Fitted new coil overs over the bank holiday weekend too, just desperately needs alignment now!
That is lovely and those wheels are a huge improvement. Car looks spot on now. Is it on a private reg, or is it a 93 running a later style front bumper?Fitted new coil overs over the bank holiday weekend too, just desperately needs alignment now!
My MR2 turbo has just in excess of 300 bhp at 1.2 bar and it is ballistic. 400 bhp in a similary light car must be absolutely mental. How does it drive overall? I'll be taking mine a little higher with a programmable ECU, but 310 - 320bhp will be plenty for me.
Early next year I hope to be in the market for an FD to add to the stable and would ideally love a late plate one in yellow. One of the best looking cars ever to come out of Japan.

Lovely motor, the paint looks tidy on it too.
I would love to have a go in one of these, look a hoot to drive.
Thanks, I would hope the paint was tidy , i had the whole car resprayed earlier this year due to changing the bumper to 99 spec and a crack in the bonnet. Couldn't match the paint, so did the whole car.I would love to have a go in one of these, look a hoot to drive.
Great fun to drive , I recommend trying one

No it's a 93 car, only yellow ones were the first ones which they made around 300 of in a pearl yellow, then a 96 RSR model which was yellow too but a different shade. Both quite rare to find. It's very good condition though no rust anywhere and lives in a garage most of the time.My MR2 turbo has just in excess of 300 bhp at 1.2 bar and it is ballistic. 400 bhp in a similary light car must be absolutely mental.

It's about right power wise, with the twins it's very easy to drive fast and very little lag. Only running 0.9 bar.
My friend has a big single turbo which is fast but not as easy to drive.
I would recommend getting one definitely , just buy the best condition one you can , they also appear to be creeping up in value for the very best ones.
