I had to go to Richmond, VA (from Washington, DC) today. I was facing hours of Thanksgiving traffic. I was late. I was in a hurry. I got on I-95 south, and hit it. My average speed from Washington to Richmond was around 90 mph. Top speeds upwards of 130 mph. Not a single cop. Oh, what a RUSH! Went through almost an entire tank of gas on that 100 mile trip. :) :) But it was worth it. I love my 91T. :) Scott MacLean CASMEL-I Artificial Horizons BBS arthor@cais.com Aviation!

I just put Yokohma AVS u+4's on my 85 and am totally impressed. Check TireRack - I think they can be had for about 85-90 U.S. I put 205's all the way around. Hope this helps.

It was the biggest pain. The toyota dealer told me that the pump could not be bad and that there was somethinging else wrong. They claimed they never put a pump into an MR2. Funny right after the new pump was installed The car started first time. If you can afford it let someone else do it. The tank must come all the way out of the car and there are three hoses at the rear end of the tank that you can not see/touch to disconect or reconnect. I drove around for two weeks with the tank leaking when it was full until I found someone with small enough hands and enough patiants to put them back on. ------------------------------ From: uunet!bendnet.com!jdshort (John & Diana Short) Date: Thu, 23 Nov 1995 08:19:48 -0800 Subject: Bra Hello gang, just so you know that other opinions exist, I tend to like the bra. I only took mine off my 93T after owning the car for a month or two and personally feel the nose is non-descript enough that it needed something. I feel that the black bra fits right in with the other black accents (air intakes, t-roof, window area, rear taillight area) on my white car. And since the roads are gravelled, its still better than touch up paint every spring. But gravel or no gravel, I keep it on for looks.
