MR2 Turbo Daily Driver
So my 94 Turbo is my new daily driver.
After spending a lot of money on a forged engine, coil overs, gauges and more she is now being put to work and will see me through every day of the year!
Fuel consumption is obviously not the best, but it's all part of the joy of daily driving a 90s sports car!
Anyone else on here daily drive their MR2?

I can't figure out how to put in an image here, so this is my cry for help.

Re: MR2 Turbo Daily Driver
Yeah daily driver too! 1992 Turbo. Since 12 February 2019 when I've put the car on the road I've done around 43000 miles as of today...would do 14000 miles extra on the top of that if not used other Toy
Re: MR2 Turbo Daily Driver
So what's your fuel consumption on your freshly build forged engine so far?
p.s Make sure you check you oil level daily depending on miles as those types of engines well known for oil burners.Not all but depends on components and other stuff..

Re: MR2 Turbo Daily Driver
So far, still breaking in around 22mpg (very little motorway miles on way to work)
I check my oil every 2 weeks (habit from owning a r56 mini cooper with leaky stem seals) and since the rebuild it has done hundreds of miles and not burnt one bit.

Re: MR2 Turbo Daily Driver
That's quite thirsty considering you're braking in the engine and drive it easy I'm pretty much on the same mpg..but I have very heavy foot.
