Mr2 Spider Turbo

[frosty_11]

Just going through the usual e-bay MR2 items and spotted this MR2 SPIDER Turbo for sale.

Anyone know whose it is / was :) ?

I was getting very excited by that until I saw the piccy with the roof up :( which is how it would look most of the time here.

[frosty_11]

It doesnt look quite as bad as th epic makes out with the roof up as there is one lives near I see every once in a while :)

[Bibbs]

I recognise the car .. it's been at the last 3 JAE's I believe ..

[Debz]

That is luuuuuurvly

I love that, roof on and off. even sexier than the stock, which i thought would be hard.

Does anyone know what it puts out?? More than a stock rev 3???

it was near Rouge on the day

he had a tarp on it instead of putting the roof up aswell

[Joeskeppi]

I didn't even know they existed, I like

[Karma Supra]

They are not meant to be as good to drive, but I like the spyders!!!

a small fully convertivle car does have a very large hairdresser factor tho :(

its a conversion debz, got standard rev2 tubby engine in, judging by pics.

would be the usual 225bhp, 0-60 mid 5's.

u know the spec,......u drove mine

[Bibbs]

they were all NA's .. but cost the price of a Turbo ..

a few turbo conversions have gone on and they made a shade under 100 of them ..

[Joeskeppi]

Why did they make so few?

[Bibbs]

Why did they make so few?

Cause TRD hand made them from Tin tops ..

and cuse they were VERY expensive and leaked like anything ..

[Debz]

oh right I see, Cheers Davo :D

Paying for the novelty value realy then ;) But still love it, the only things I would change about my 2 is that i love fully convertable cars and want more power, Spidy has both!!! I want it :P

No, this is another MR2 spider altogether.

Until now I only know of one spider *turbo* belonging to NVI and it's not the one seen on eBay.

Check it: http://www.roguesystems.co.uk/images/mr2spider/index.htm

The NVI Spider turbo has been to the past 3 JAE's but I've never seen or heard about this one. Suprisingly really as it's not a million miles from me neither!

Great idea putting the tubby lump into it.

but why not the Rev3+?? as it is a 96plate car

[sera_beetle]

i love this black one

[Debz]

I think they still look good with the roof on. Quirky.

Still love it, still want it

Looking down the sofa for 10k!

really :( if anyone finds a Mr2 like that for sale PLEASE let me know :)

[RowMR2turbo]

Yep, look at the red around the wheel arches and bottom of the rear bumper.

The car was originally a red hard top that someones photoshopped to look like TRD 2000 Spider.

If I had the money I'd love to have one built like that but you're talking mega £££ for a propper job!

:)

[Debz]

Its now only £5 :o

Me want :(
