hey bhpians im driving a skoda rs right now with a knn tyfoon kit and a remap. it is clocking 0-100 under 8 sec. Now im getting a deal on a toyota mr2 94 model 60k kms done. which is confusing me a little bit should i leave my skoda and go for it or no. well can anyone suggest me what should be the best at the moment.

No ways should you get rid of the Skoda RS for a 14 year old MR2. As good as the MR2 is, the RS is far newer, safer and better.

[Akshay1234]

dont even think about it.

[JayD]

I think you should just stick to your RS, the mr2 is a 14yr old car and some issues are sure to come up.
O.T: how much is he asking for the MR2??

[Autokustomz]

he is asking 5.5l for the mr2 . and like i will be left with another 2.5 l to spend on my car to make it look good and work on the engine!! what say??

[nitrous]

I see that U're interested in looks and power.
So, going by it, I suggest keep the RS and do it up.The only logical reason and MR2 should be considered against an RS would be for track use where the mid-engine mount and rear wheel drive would give a slight advantage which can even be shadowed by the RS' superb handling and power.
So, stick to the RS.

I would suggest you to Stick to the RS.. buying a 14year old car(not knowing the condition and how used)might become a reason for you to have sleepless nights.. so think about it before taking any decisions.. just a thought from my end..cheers..

The vRS is by far the best car available in India for performance under 20Lacs, exchanging it for something better would be wrong, the only car i would think of would atleat be the BMW 325i.

[Autokustomz]

Okay like considering everything i think i should keep my skoda rs only. Now i have a budget of 1.5l for this car can you people suggest what all i can do on my rs in context with its little obsolete looks. and to play with its power little more. im making at attempt to make my own bodykits like i just started . doing a friends accord , but i really dont have anything in mind for a skoda. can u guys help..!!

Good decision to hang onto your RS!

MR2 = great car - constant maintainence & sleepless nights UNLESS you get a car in MINT condition, which I seriously doubt you will for 5.5L. Unless you spend 10L on imprting a new engine & change everything mechanical in it. You will still have all the rattles & niggles.

RS = great car (especially as yours is remapped). Spares available, reliablity high, drives well. Peaceful sleep !!!

If you still want to do the Octavia RS up I suggest you meet up with Arush aka Autopsyche. He has done enough work on Octavias to give you good guidance. Check out www.autopsyche.com. (The site is down-just checked) Here is his contact number # 9810518681



All the best

Cheers

Stay with the RS. I just got mine remapped and the car just flies!!!

[Autokustomz]

Arush is a friend . i know him. got my corolla , accord and sonata done from him so know his work. but i was looking for something different anyways thank you very much.

[Cyrus43]

please dont sell your vRS..it is a beautiful car and since the time i drove it i have been in love with it...sadly..too expensive

Is it really 10 lakhs to import a new engine? what about used engines? you can find used engines for really cheap.

Either way you should keep the skoda, just spend a little more money on her, get some adjustable coilovers and drop the ride height a bit and get some 18 or 19 inch wheels on the car. Whats the point of buying an old car whose history you don't know. Goodluck
