Think your Mr2 is fast?

And someone actually bid on it! :iceslolan

wow at first i thought it was a photo shop job but the other pics are crazy, wish i was a rich kid and could just buy that for shits and giggles :P

Who ever made that one must of been nuts :screwy:

It is a photoshop job - come on guys...

That gas tank wouldn't get those turbines up to speed. And self-starting? with what? an aux power unit? where is that in the deal?

Also - where are the intakes? Better not be next to the driver and behind the driver. Suck his eyes out. :)

idk wasnt there a MK1 jet car .... ssome one take him up on the video offer

It is a GOOD photoshop job.

c'mon, you guys are mr2 owners... think "plastics".

well it would have to be an crazy photo shop job, however i work with jet engines and it does look kinda iffy, however

1 i can see why he can only get to sub 200 speeds probley cause the limited air intake but from what i have read him saying, it is probley enugh, if you have seen small jets the air intakes on thoes are tiny

2 jet engines run amazingly cool my mr2 engine oil is hotter then jet engine oil after they bolth shut down (I have changed bolth and i have burned the hell out of my self with engine oil from an mr2, engine oil from a jet just kinda stings dosnt burn ) another example of this is that the sides of an engine are keep really cool thru air that is run down the inside sides of the turbine keeping the hot and combusting air to the center of the turbine, if a jet is idling i can even run my arm on the side of the exaust nozzle and it is not even all that warm, the only place that gets really hot is the exaust streem it self ( and the combustion chamber ) or when it hit after burner, in afterburner it gets reallllllly hot like the tail ( turky feathers ) starts glowing red so belive it or not on thoes small engines you dont have to worry about heat, and also they probley wil run long enugh to do 1 or 2 slat flat runs with thoes gas tanks, the time a jet gets reallly fuel hungry is in afterburner, which thoes engines arnt going to do cause they dont have an augmenter section

3 auto starters can use many things from electrical power to compressed air
here is one thing he could be useing

and 4 a jet engine is simpler in operaation to a normal car engine so it wouldnt be that hard to do

When I was in the Air Force as a Jet Engine Mechanic (years ago in the F-4 days), there was a guy who stole a sidewinder missile and bolted it to the top of his Chevy. Once he ignited it, he couldn't turn it off and they found what was left of him on the side of a mountain.

It is a photoshop job - come on guys...

If he used photoshop to make those images, what did he use to make thse videos:

.... and for the record, at least 2 MR2s have done land speed racing well over 200 mph.

bugger couldn't see the vids.

Did you right-click "Save as" to your desk top?

damn, those are some damn good vids, smell the burnt aviation kerosene frome here!

comeon guys. thew plates are Iowa plates.... Do you accually think someone in Iowa is able to do that????















:icon16:

Jekyl thanks for getting the vids ... idont care if there fake too thats the coolest sound to ever come from a MR2

The JATO Myth was busted on ...well myth busters the car made there heli top out and they yuse like 2 or three JATOs so i dont think that stories true

And not to long ago there was a MK1 JET car that used three smaller turbos and that guy had vids to and i looked real

Rember ...... With Money And Will There's Always A Way

My key board sucks... the above you can figure out what it says but no comments on missing letters

i dont care what anyone says that is a cool as video and car. i have seen it before on the web on other sites. and it dont matter where they are from they can have jato enigines if they want. its not like they are all retarded in that state.

A turbo mr2 with black shit on the back. You can fake sound and video the same as photos.

Maybe it's real and maybe it's not. I guess I don't care since I'm not bidding....

yes even the video can be faked, but i photoshop myself and its too perfect all the angles and machinery that fits in there... he would have had to make from scratch which would be VERY hard, and he would also have to have the video of the mr2 going at high speeds and then edit every frame then ad the sound it that matches the mr2s location.... i mean, it could be done, but i just dont see it happening

Anyway, I know a guy that has actually seen this car. He says it is a show car and the intakes are barely adequate to keep it running.

As far as the missile on the car story goes, it's a good one fake or not.

Brian, as far as I know, the jet MR2 is real. The two videos I posted: one of them was with a single jet installed. The second one is after he installed the second jet.

i wanna see vids of the mr2s going over 200mph thats just awsome!! that mr2 is so badass imagine how much that cost him and hes selling it for only 20 gs but talk about high maintnince

Yeah, like I said, I talked to a guy who's actually seen this car. That's good enough for me.

wasn't that a darwin award?

Yes it was a Darwin award. Does that make it real? :)
