They certainly have strong engines but as other people mentioned the rev 3 onwards were better. If you do get one be prepared, when the back steps out they do snap!

yeah i'm defiantley going to try and get a rev3 turbo now :thumb: and as for the back end snapping out, i'm going to have to take it somewhere open so i can purposely lose control so i know what it's like (never driven a RWD car before)

Yeah rev3 is the way to go mate. They look stunning cars and amazed more people dont run them.

The widebody TRD kit is superb.....inspiration:

Fensport know everything Toyota.

My mate had one with just over 300bhp and that was lethal in the wet but lots of fun at the same time. lol

Looks cool and wil be cheaper to insure and run than an import. As long as it looks straight and runs well from hot and cold, go for it

The paint repair is pretty easy to sort mate. I think you could have a lot of fun with that but PLEASE respect the fact it is rear wheel drive and mid engined. The difference in handling characteristics will blow your mind.
