14 secs for my standard MR2 turbo and 13 for later ones hmm a few other interesting motors on there!

16.23 from the G40 not too bad for a FWD 1.3

Bah, dont have my Skyline GTSt on there :(

I dont understand how the A3 1.8T can weigh more than the A4 1.8T and even more than the S3, the S3 has extras like intercooler and the A4 has torsen which weighs loads more than haldex.

Thats quite disappointing really, especially the 60-100 times.

It doesn't.

Oooh, you've found a mistake on the internet ! Keep it to yourself - nobody will beleive you if you tell them...

They aren't real figures - they're just calculated from a formula (!).

Actually, isn't the one on there the 175bhp one ?

Aren't there 205bhp and 220bhp ones too ?

Which one is yours ?

But mine isn't there, just the Celica GT and the Celica 190 VVTi.

The ST185 on the one I posted was 205BHP, about right.

Mine is the 205BHP ST185, that archive.org cached link only had the Celica GT (FWD) gen 5 and 6 and the Celica 190 VVTi (FWD) (gen 7 last/current Celica)

Can't you belive stuff you read on the net :(

yours is the same engine as my MR2 why 205bhp? my rev2 MR2 should be 220bhp so should yours i would have thought? later spec cars were 245bhp and shared the same engine as the ST205 GT4

You want an agreed value insurance policy on that. Glass's and CAP only value them at 900 quid or so, even for the latest ones.

Yep, but only 5PSI in first and second, and 6-7PSI in 3rd and above. Plan is, once the boost gauge is plumbed in, is the get an MBC, disconnect T-Vis to avoid spiking and up the boost to arround 8-9PSI in all gears. HG should be fine still, at way less than 1 bar.

Sssshhhh! Just perpetuate the myth!
