JUST TEST DROVE NEW MR2 SPYDER, NICE CAR! I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF SELLING MY 98 ITR TO GET A RWD CAR. I KNOW THE MR2 IS LOW ON POWER, BUT THAT IS EASILY REMEDIED. ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING BAD ABOUT MR2?

 

Maybe it costs quite a bit to mod?

 

haha MR2, I smoked a modded one with my old car: A ford probe GT automatic!!!!

 

Nice car... isn't TRD coming out with a s/c in a year or two?

That car seriously has no trunk though...

 

Top Secret and Power Enterprise both have turbo kits for the new MR-S's. Very nice! Someone got a 4.54s 0-60 w/ the PE kit. At 2200lbs, you don't need much power to make them quick. I want one, but just can't fit a 2-seater in my life at the mo.

 

It's a nice car, when I got in one my forehead was right in line with the top of the windshield, and I'm only 5' 9". If I were ever to get one I would definitely put the veilside body kit on that thing.

 

some drag or greddy kit (i think on the axis mr-s and ro_ja's) bothr un high 12's on 17"'s


daily drivin sub 8 psi turbo


yeah.....
this car will kick ***....

i was thinkin bout gettin one too...

but it's too small for me

 

me too, but I'm 6'3" don't think I'd fit too well

 

Besise the fact that its a girls car?

 

RWD??? S2000...

 

I you kidding me for an MR2

 

Why not look at a Miata?

 

sissy

 

mr2 are tight cars, I like the last gen better than the new ones though

 

yeah i second the miata vote over a mr2 anyday of the week -rob(former 96M edition owner)

 

I had sh tted all over one at LimeRock back in April (yes a new one) and it was my first time on a track. There are a few peeps here that can testify on this. Save yourself the headache and get a S2000.

 

flyin miata turbo... 12psi daily driven with no problems on the stock block. not to mention you can get a used one for as low as $1000 maybe... swap in the new more powerful engine and turbo that. if you wanna get real crazy, there's always the rotory engine you can swap in...

 

MR2"s are junk. my little sister has one and they are all plastic and rivits so after a while the body pannels and crap fall off! I have gone all over the car with metal rivits and held it together the best I could but that thing rattles somthing terrible! Plus the power stearing pumps on them are known to go out and believe me they are not as easy to stear as a HONDA with No power stearing!
I would deffinately go with a miata, S2K, or Z3!
(Z3 are very easy to boost! Iron blocks RULE and BOOST ownz!)

 

try driving a Honda that is equipped with power steering, then pull the belt off, even on fast turns it's a bitch

 

looks good goes well for a 1.6L but way too small in terms of comfort!

 

Power Enterprise kits in the MR-S ownz

we will be doing one here shortly, just hope godzilla doesnt eat this shipment either

EDIT: tested by option2 a few issues back on 4psi with everything else completely stock it put down 199ps.....not too shabby i must say!!
