i think the the mr2 is a good project car...it is faster than a lot of new cars today including the new mr-s...because its an iron block, it can withstand high amounts of preasure..it has a lot of after market parts and can be pretty cheap compared to something like the rx7...i think a nice one can get up to arround $5000 but u can find them for arround $3,000... if u look online there are a lot of exauhsts, turbos, body kits, ect. for it... i am not sure what the top speed is...i think it is in the mid hundreds...plz dont jump all over me if im wrong, its just an estimate..but my main point is that its a good project car...

i hope this helped you a little bit

thanks youve just boosted my MR2 esteem lol i'm hoooked on them and i love the way you can make the intake come out the top corner of the car is that expensive to do??? and you are right about the top speed it's some where around 145 which is good enough 2 me thanks for your help...

i dont think the scoop is that expensive...it depends if you get it in carbon or glass...they are usually arround $300 and i think all you have to do is remove part that the scoop replaces and screw it on so labor shouldnt be that expensive..

That scoop is a "do-it-yourself" thing its not that. Go http://xcars.com. theres alot of MR2's there. That scoop isnt that by the way
