I just assumed it was the older model turbo  I didn't realise these models were turbo'd. It must go like a bleepin bat! I had a shot of my pals, think it was a 1.8, it wasn't very exciting on the straight but round the industrial estate it was quality! The alloys and colour of your car are both really nice. 

Do you know what sort of power she's putting out? 

They were never turbo'd from the factory - unlike the previous generations which were available in Supercharged or Turbocharged form in Japan only, the Mk3 was only ever available NA with the 146bhp lump.

They didn't even think to offer the 190bhp lump from the Celica (Although it's a relatively straightforward conversion)

So yeah, they're all 1.8ltr 1ZZ-FE powered unless modified - there are a couple of 3S-GTE (the Mk2) powered ones around, as well as several V6 powered cars now (1MZ-FEs and 3MZs) that have Camry engines in them.

I'd say mine is somewhere around 220bhp with it's current tune, although the engine and so on should be good for ~270bhp should I ever get around to a) finishing mapping it and b) turning the boost up 

Isn't that a Toyota MR-S?

Sold as the MR-S in Japan, MR-2 Roadster in the UK and MR-2 Spyder in the US.. So this is an MR-2 Roadster as it's a UK model

That must be serious fun on the back roads mate!

Aye, that's where it's best Although down here there is rarely little enough traffic to use it

It's a blast on track, though
