    The Red Beast is for sale...

    I've owned the car for several years now, and as most of you have seen, spent a small mortgage on it, but the time has come for it to go. :(

    I'll be sad to sell it, but needs must, and I feel the time for a little more practicality has come. I have recently got engaged, and have a new family to consider. An Mr2 like mine is a complete indulgence, and one that I have had the pleasure of for some time, but my new family comes first.

    A new fuel system is shortly to be fitted, allowing 2.2 bar of boost to be run. This should see the motor make well over 600+ bhp on C16 race fuel.

    Current power output:
    465 fwhp @ 7200
    360 ft/lb @ 5200
    Running just 1 bar of boost (on Tesco 99 octane fuel).

    Quarter mile of 12.44 @ 111 on Toyo T1-R's.

    The car is capable of low 11's, possibly even 10's.

    The dyno readout was taken when the older GT3071 turbo and 870cc injectors were fitted. It has since been fitted with a GT3582R and 1000cc injectors, and re-mapped by Dave Rowe.

    ...Brutal!

    Dave Rowe of MoTeC commented the last time the car was mapped, "It's not even trying yet..."

    Offers in the region of £13k, or a part exchange with a 1998+ Honda Intagra DC2 (plus cash).

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    It'll be going on eBay if it doesn't go soon. Bit of a shame, but needs must.
