LOL, other people's pics... I've got pics of it in front of three different houses and in an apartment complex parking lot... :D But yeah, my neighbor does drive an Escalade. ;)


Man these cars get some wild looks... The engine in back thing and the styling really throw some people...

The sound is soo very different than the Supra and when the engine screams over your shoulder when you nail it it is a bit of a change... plus it's not that deep roar I'm used to.

Like I said though, I bought one of these new back in '93, so I knew what to expect and I'm not at all disappointed.

So you like the mr2's, I’ve been a fan of them for a while. It s funny the place I’m getting my used engine from to fix my Celica, is a mr2 business. He has a few of each generation. Personally if I had my choice, I’d go with a mk3 mr2 and swap in the 2zzge with the c60. It makes it have about 2200lbs with 180hp stock. Here is the guys links if it comes in handy.

Heh, I installed a new shifter and floormats and some other parts from them yesterday. :D You should get me a discount on my next order. ;)

Never been a fan of the MK3 MR2.... Spyder's just don't appeal to me and they're too underpowered... can't believe they allowed such a hit in performance; should have offered a turbo option.

I just need to get a MAFT Pro in this to get rid of the VAFM and get boost control in it and I'll be happy. I'd prefer to go with a MAF versus speed density though as I really don't care to dick with the tuning so much to get the S/D running perfectly.... BUT it all depends on whether Bob enabled the use of a MAP sensor in conjunction with a MAF so you can use boost control while measuring air flow with a MAF or not.... couldn't before, but it was on his to do list last I heard. No one's running the MAFT Pro on one of these cars yet...

its time for cre to take the mr2 into a new realm lol

cre 06-07-2010 12:54 AM

I don't know man... some of the things some people have done with these is insane... a twin turbo V8? Can you imagine that roaring into your ear from right behind you??? :eek3:

I'm going to stick with a 4cyl and a big turbo... hard enough to work on the 4 cyl without dropping it than a V6 or bigger. I mean damn that shit's in there tight. Oil changes are CAKE though!!!! Same for spark plugs. Hope the gear oil isn't too bad because that's on the list for next weekend.

A friend freaked today when he realized the engine was in back.. lol. It just doesn't get old.

I miss my mr2.. :( love my supra tho

bryanf89 06-07-2010 04:09 AM

how does it handle with the engine in the back?

cre 06-07-2010 05:53 AM

It\'s nothing huge while just cruising... but damn, when you hit the corners... :D oh yeah!

That\'s a big part of what brought me back to getting another.

Too Much Racing and Sports
 
Well Guys too much Football and racing motorcross when I was a wee bit younger has me convinced that I have done a lot of work on my Supra, cause I am SORE ALL OVER!

Hey Cre, how is the gas mileage with Squirt?

An MR2 might make a great fun commuter for me someday.... Scott

cre 06-08-2010 02:01 AM

I haven\'t really had time to get a good idea about mileage... last tank was 22MPG almost all city and a lot of boosting... It\'s MUCH better than the Supra and I haven\'t finished tuning things up.

It is a lot of fun and get TONS of attention... not always good, but I\'m trying to tone down my driving... and it\'s working there... I\'m driving the bat signal.
