MR2 Board (http://www.board.mr2faq.com/index.php?)

Check out that board plenty of high hp MR2's including mine:D I know a guy on there is running a T3 turbo I think, with stock motor and he has ran a 12.6 @109. It helps that the Spyders are so light. Any turbo on that car would make it fly.

i hope that u realize that that article is for a MKII not a MKIII b/c the mr2 spyder has a crappy lil engine that cant do crap. the MKII has the engine that can push high hp, i m runnin 300-320hp in mine, i just beat a ferrari 360 modena yesterday. sux for him cuz he spent $200,000 more than me

Umm....I dont know why you would say that? Yes the MKiii has a smaller motor but you do know they have turbo kits available for it. Like I mentioned before there is a MK3 on the MR2 Board with just bolt ons and a turbo kit on the stock motor running 12.6. Granted that story (havent looked) might be about mkii's but it doesnt mean the mkiii cant be fast. I might get one in the future and turbo it, gotta love that its light weight. You on the MR2 Board by any chance? Any pix or what are your mods:D

bout a month ago i went to a shop for dyno day and the mechanic there was working on a 437whp MKII had the dynosheet in it he was actually cool enough to give me a test ride in it never got out of 2nd gear due to the 3rd and 4th gear were ripped out of the gear box a few weeks before but 2nd gear always has the most torque. when i first got in went to reach for the seat belt wasnt any heh, that was my first time in an MR2 so ive been impressed ever since
