the MR2 looks fantastic on 17 chrome spoke rims - theres a guy with one near me - with a modded quad exhaust, 17inch spoke chrome rims and a green / yellow flip paint on it. Looks the absolute business!
I think they left the ratios like that because they were paranoid about overheating - if the ratios were much shorter then the engine would be revving a hell of a lot higher all the time and the MR2 ran pretty hot - mine nearly cooked me on a drive down to bath from manchester once!
I've just seen an early one near me on autotrader - in white. £650. oooo tempting......should I buy and start modding?
