anyone have the link for the MR2 owner's club or any good MR2 sites?

 

cheers

 

Best option for me might not be the best option for him but I'm a fan of the GT Turbo T-Bar, preferably on a 94+ but at his budget you'd probably be looking at a GTS hardtop on a 90 or a 91, you might get a 92 or a 93 if someone is desperate.

 

Depending on how much power he desires he might be better off with a '93 J-Spec G-Limited or a UK spec car - £3k doesn't buy you much of a turbo.

 

I have a bit of an MR2 site if you click the link in my sig, otherwise http://www.imoc.co.uk, http://www.mr2oc.co.uk, http://www.mr2oc.com and http://www.mr2dc.com are good places to start. Ben's site is also one of the best out there.

 

If he wants to have a real good look around some MR2s there is a good chance of over a thousand of the buggers at Bruntingthorpe this Sunday - http://www.mr2004.com - I'll be there :)

Sick thing is, the insurance on an import is probably more than a uk supra :eek: :stupid:

 

edit - just to say, Im on my 2nd mr2, and I love them, nearly as much as the supra :D

The mid engine, short wheel base, makes them very chuckable. Cosy interior, fantastic build quality. When I sat in one for the first time, I fell in love.
