700hp + Mr2 On It's Way To The Uk

[KiwiMR2]

I was reading on IMOC that a scottish fella from the Skylines forums seems to have purchased one of the latest creations from the land of the rising sun. Iv'e seen clips of 700hp MR2's doing 9's in Japan so in saying that this car could potentially smoke the best street leagl skyline in the UK (9.95). Specs are as follows:

"Power output: Reported to be 726.5 ps (700+ HP) on a chassis dyno.

Also nticed it kicked of a large barney about it's "true" power ..

[dub_boy]

I like the fact that it looks quite subtle, take the decals off & most people wouldnt give it a second glance!

[bh969]

looks kinda like my coupe wander if he wants a race lol :P

[jaxx]

ive seen one of these in action before in a video ive got

very hardcore and stupidly fast but as said the actual power output is questionable

still hell of a motor tho!-

[+Steve]

wel.. i would love to see him pass that through the SVA test when he brings that in the country

bloke i bought my motor off bought in a 700 bhp skyline.. has had to demod it to get it through the SVA... then remod the car back.

[Yarisboy]

I'd like to see jimlad handle an MR2 with 700bhp in corners :P :D

If it's a pure drag car - he doesn't need to bother (just don't drive it on the UK roads) .. then wait till it's 10 years old and then register and MOT it ..

It sounds like it's going to be stripped in time for TOTB3 .. so it'll probably get an ESVA at the end of the strip down.

If I ever see you at a meet Jaxx.... you better watch yourself... might hit you with the car by mistake... . lol.... j/k.

[whitestarlet]

that looks a sweet car BUT i would not like 2 b payin insurance on it!!!!! :P

[Yarisboy]

oh come on jim it's only a friendly bit of banter :group-cuddles: :D

i expect you'll have an mr2 not far off 700bhp anyhow the way you're carrying on with it!

splashing the cash around on it like rocka fella

I need to keep myself amused or I'll just go get a Supra...... lol

I'm thinking to opposite now .. bin the MR2 and get a Soarer (mate can get either a 4L v8 or the 2.5TT in the country for about £3k .. and then a set of 19's ..) and I'd be happy.

probably better MPG too ..

Anyone wanna buy a HEAVILY modded Mk2 Rev2?

[pizza boy]

SVA? Forget SVA id like to see if it gets past the MOT emissions test. I hope the person importing it in has thought of all these things..nutter.
