OK, I have this dream... where I'm going to get an mr2 in the next 6 months or so... it'll happen, really! ;D Anyways, I was looking at the mk2 turbos (probably about 93/94)... but then the other day I was lookin through at the non-turbo models which are obviously a lot cheaper, only about a grand/grand and a half (turbo is more like 2 1/2 - 3). So vaguely thinkin about getting one of these then having a turbocharger (or other supercharger) fitted.... not sure if this would be worth while? Would mean I got the car sooner but might end up more expensive / lot more hassle? Any pearls of wisdom welcome! Cheers!

Getting a turbo is cheaper in the long run and from experience more fun ;o)
It'll be worth the wait

ooo so you'll be on the road soon then (hopefully haha)
the pics are regulated size wise by photobucket i think, upload them to there and they should come up the right size on here when you post the img link!
(if you've not got a photobucket you can use ours.... login: charnwoodcarclub and the password is : ccc123)
