Newbie Saying Hi

[quigonjay]

Hi guys and gals, been lurking around for a while but only had my mr2 for about 3 weeks. Got a slight oil leak at the mo (getting fixed tomoz) so not really had chance to push it much, still, what a car, WHAT A F***KING CAR, i'm in love :)

Had 1 or 2 frights coming out of the corners and its still on low boost

Broke down on me once already, had to call AA :( though i'm hoping that problem is fixed now after replacing ignition components. Not really planning much in the style department (except lightweight alloys and maybe some carbon fibre goodies) in fact, if it doesnt make my car either go faster/handle better or stop better it probably isnt right for my car

Usually hang around on the imoc if anyone recognises the name, anyways, heres the spec and some pics -

1994 Rev3 GT T-bar Turbo
