Default Crazy 10sec T88 powered MR2 Turbo in Scotland.

I foookin love this car.

The bloke brought it over from Japan for quite cheap, not knowing anything about it realy apart from it had a enormous Trust turbo on it and it was claimed to be 700bhp.

He got it over, got it on the rollers, and they wernt fookin about, even with the engine not in perfect health, the managment not being too good, and few lil niggly probs, the car pulled about 650bhp from a 2litre (its about 2050cc, not 2.2 like he originaly thought), i got the dyno sheets here somewhere, cant find em tho, il post em when i do.

I did a bit of research for him and i found his car, with the previous owner, and pics, in a Jap drag racing website, its ran a proven 10.7qtr mile on roadlegal tyres in Japan, 2nd fastest MR2 turbo in Japan some years, and ran loadsa 10s.
Not bad for a 2litre RWD!

As you can imagine a 2litre engine with a T88 turbo (even the smallest ones are rated to 850bhp!) is fookin well hard to drive and even harder to launch so his times arnt close to the 10s like its done in the past yet, but FUCK ME doesnt it go some once its rolling!

Check these lil vids--
http://www.matt-payne.com/skyline/mol001a.asf (Ive never seen a car manage to spin out on the 1/4mile, but shows how fookin viscous the power is! )

http://www.the-garage.co.uk/Video/Crailmax.wmv
Totaly bogs the launch, then fookin wooooooooosh

Love the car, totaly subtle, hanst even got a spoiler, but is really silly fast.

Hes still sorting it out, making it how it should be, but even now its bloody mental.

Owners a top bloke too, and even better, theres a place on the passenger seat for me for helping him out with stuff, cant wait, theres faster things, but i doubt theres much more scarey!

In the vid vs the skyline? Its more cause he bogged down rather than actual lag, but yea, cant expect it to be unlaggy with that kind of power n turbo size on a 2litre
