Hmmmm! A prospective MR2 owner?

Definitely get a Rev 3 94-on, they are better finished, both cosmetically and mechanically.
I have a '94 UK GT version (174 bhp), the turbo version kicks out 240 b ...

LOL at some of these comments.

The problem with the program is that they were pitching it as if being fat was something that they were born with. For the majority it is a choice, not inherited. It' ...

The gap means that dirt and water can get in around the clutch and possibly work its way up to the flywheel sensor too. There is nothing suitable to cover it with either.

With 190bhp, I guessing that this is getting into Impreza territory WRT 0-60 or 1/4 mile times?
