true.. difference being this one is running full time 4x4 and should develop 400bhp after a remap

when your running this sort of thing reliability is all relative...

so thats a no lol it was built to do it.. never been tested as it was never mapped for it (owner got bored and moved onto a 6.0 V8 )

so it could get real expensive real fast, it should be fine.. but its not an everyday car thats for sure

How could you spend 15k on it anyway? It takes about 6 (Or less if you do work yourself - I just bought a turbo that boosts to 2 bar for under 1k) to get an MR2 to 500hp+ - you can get a ready made Mi16 engine with about 500hp that will go to about 700 (For about 20 minutes) for 5500 + VAT.

A brand new chevvy 5.7V8 would be the way to go - brand new in the crate for about 1/5 of that

it all adds up, theres a ton of custom stuff and a rebuilt engine with loads of work and new bits in

the exhaust alone cost £1700
