1/4 Mile Times

[Charles Gustavino]

Hi all just joined this Forum. I reside is Western Australia and am on the pripheral of the MR2 club in WA. I own a pearl black 1992 converted to look like a 94 MR2 GTS with a 3SGTE engine. It has a few mods carried out by the previous owner including TRD LSD, OS Gyken Twin Plate race clutch, boost control and has modified piping and air intake.

Took the car down the 1/4 mile on max boost of 21.3 PSI (15 Kg/cm2) and achieve a gob smacking 12.91s (beating a worked Sabura WRX in the process). To my knowledge thare is only one other sub 13s MR2 in WA owned by Tristan which pulled a 12.5 sec and is capable of better.

Hoping to hear from any other MR2 drivers with 1/4 mile times for feedback.

Cheers

Charles

I believe Tristan Hewitt pulled a 12.1 with his GT30 BB Turbo.

Never judge a spoiler till yev seen it from all angles imo. But the vielside one looks out of proprtion unless youve got an equally loud bodykit to go with it.

They do look simlar but u can see the bit where the wing attaches to the side bits on the black car. the silver bolts(?).

And at that price i think i'll give it a miss... nearly £500, almost as much as the whole of the kit i'll be gettin, hehe.

[John R]

I think that those bolts are to change the angle of the wing, for more/less downforce.

[John R]

The same as the autopista, £245

ive run a 13.9 and mine is standard apart from an exhaust. that wasnt a perfect run as i changed up too late in 3rd gear.

going to the pod on the 25th jan to see what i get now :D

any1 else??

[KiwiMR2]

I just used a G-tec 2 nights ago to get a feel for times...got a 13.7 at about 166 kph's. That's with a CAT-BACK exhaust, a pod filter in a box and 14 psi boost :)
