    I'm a tad curious what BAR these cars ran, 2-3-4?, and if there is a dyno video of a Group B R5T.

    I just watched the following video and need some "Alone Time!".

    don't know the specific boost level, but it's not going to be very, maybe 15 psi max? the T2 cars came with around 140-160 hp only, from the 1.4L

    It was just a reference in regards to working on cars that are mid-engined, kinda a reference from my 21yr's of MR2 ownership I guess. Are there any decent R5T dvd's available?

    good vids Gregg,

    I don't know of any R5T in 1:12 scale i'm afraid, but there are a couple done in 1:18, otto-mobile & universal IIRC

    there are a few being restored, but hardly any coming up for sale recently, but that's good for the price, upwards $50K for a clean, not overly modified example R5T2 ....I came across one Euro ad, for a cherry R5T1 all original, asking $46Euros = $60K USD ....word I've received from the owners groups is that many clean examples are now being bought & imported 'out' from the US to UK/Euro!?

    I am ok with 1:18 as most of my models are 1:18. A bonus for 1:18 over 1:12 is that you can fit more into the display case.

    Thanks Jeremy.

    absolutely, I don't know if these are available new anymore, you might be restricted to ebay/amazon to find one?
