Looks like you hit a shiny patch of track?

Looks a bit damp and you might have got onto the wet paint on the inside of the corner by the ripple strip. It doesn't take much to send them round in those sorts of conditions especially if you don't have some pretty good tyres on the car. Didn't sound like you lifted off or anything like that but lifting off would probably have ended up with the same result. Good recovery by the way!! :D :lol:
See ya

Boosted cars are like hot women.
A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.

New MCM video on the MR2.

https://youtu.be/79qqcl4COJ4


Really, really disappointing power figure. CT21. Downpipe. Dogshit exhaust. Aftermarket ecu, 750cc injectors, new rail and pump. Water to air intercooler. Coil on plug ignition and it makes 175kW!

What a colossal waste of time and money. Just put the CT21 in and put one bar of boost into it.

That's what I thought! Haltech ECU as well....

Wonder why it's so low. Maybe only like 10psi? That should be at least 220kW tbh....

Haha, major disappointment here also! All that work for almost stock numbers. Perhaps he was too nervous to push it after all the issues?

Yeah i thought something was up with that, im only missing fuel and ecu to have a solid package and set up like that and i would be pretty disappointed with that figure tbh. Even now @ 17psi w/ ct21 the car feels a bit quicker than 175kw lol

Maybe it's to keep the MR2 closer to the slow moon bug?

That was my thought after having a think about it. As you said it is a 'TV' show.
