Arrow anyone know much about mr2'ssssss?

buying an mr2 off a friend its a 2ltr import with nice body work sound engine 500 quid .should be a nice bit of rwd fun for the winter just wondering if nyone knows any good tunning tips for them as iv havent even been in one intill yesterday lol but i did think it was a nice drive and seems fun..
here would be my proposed plans for it

stripped completey ..including dash n door cards carpets (everything possible)
nice little stainless system with manifold and sports cat
some trick gauges for the non exsistant dash i have the already!!
some nice rims probs 16's
coileys plus poly bushed up...

clearly its not a ford!! and yes they are a hairdressers car but other than that do u know any useull tips on them? i would upload some pics but i dont have any

you should easily be able to have it remapped, then the usual, induction kit, an stuff, jap stuff is always reliable so it should be a real good toy. i had a supra i bought many years ago with 184,000 mile on it an no history, i couldn't break the thing, thrashed it around for 2 year, eventually gave it away still running fine.

sometimes imports are restricted on top speed to something like 110. but i'd say thats already been removed. for 500 quid ai wouldn't bother mate, just thrash it an have fun, hell ya haven't lost much if ya prang it..

My friend had a turbo one,it went like fook till it blew up.If you buy it you will have to get a pipe a flat cap glasses and grey hair cause thats what most toyota drivers look like.
