Ian for shear numbers and a wealth of owner information it has to be Honda Revolutions

Do a quick search for all things ATR related (should keep you reading for a few hours)

One lad is doing a turbo conversion on his ATR at present

Nice one Ian - enjoyed the test drive then? Initial impressions?

I trust you'll be bringing it to the next Bracknell Meet

Will miss the forced induction of my Previous MR2 (need to change Clarkeyturbo) but at 6,000 rev's it's superb + 4 seats, boot. A boot which I can fit a suitcase in - WOW.

Mine has the subtle rear spoiler and indeed no Type R badge on the back. This will be changed and will also go for a decent ICE install as soon as funds allow.

PS Am shopping round for insurance 26 full no claims on a 1990 Mr2 Turbo - £900 Comp last september. Me and girlfriend (24) on a 99 ATR £544.00 Admiral !!!

Wortha try or likewise let me know if you get a good deal.

Hi Paul,

It's rather nice

The biggest suprise is that you don't need to thrash it round in VTEC all the time to get it to move.

Theres loads of torque below 6k and it makes a good daily drive. Better in trafic than the scoob was.

Excellent. I never tried that I just took one for a good thrash down the motorway What's the handling like in your opinion? It seemed pretty good to me round the bend at junction 7 of the M4.
