Joe Bristow drove his third-generation Toyota MR2 to Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire, England for some track time. The sports car is powered by a turbocharged Volvo inline-five Joe built with a Volvo 850 2.3 L block, Wiseco forged pistons, Hurricane rods, ID 1050 cc injectors, custom exhaust manifold, and a Pulsar G30-770 turbocharger. On the dyno it made 635 hp (467 kW) and 736 Nm (542 lb-ft) of torque on 2.2 bar (31.9 psi) of boost and 99 RON fuel. The motor is paired to a Volvo M56 manual transmission with a Quaife limited-slip differential and custom axles. Watch Joe pilot the MR2 around the track in the video below.
