Needed a cheap run about for work so picked this up yesterday





1.6 GTI 16V Twin Cam

[bss325i]

Quite pokey turds these!

A work mate from years back had one but it was rotten.

Got nick named the "Toyota Corroder"

[ImysE30]

It goes like a go-kart, very nippy when you get it going in the high rev range.

Surprisingly this one is not rotten. It's had new arches in the past. It's come from Scotland too

It's on Koni coilovers and polybushed all round, the ride is quite hard/harsh

Not many left now

Same engine as the Mk1 MR2 ?

Bet theres not many of these left

[ImysE30]

Yes same engine Rob. They're pretty much bullet proof and nippy at high revs. 9k rpm

Not many left according to this, about 600

Had some fun in a Mk1 MR2 with that engine - but it suddenly seized on me one day!!!
No one could understand it and said they were super reliable and never seized!!!

I'm sure your's will be fine - these impossible things only happen to me normally!!!

[ImysE30]

I've done 600 miles in about 3 days and still going strong
