Fri Aug 23 14:36:16 1996 (none)Just stumbled on this site. I own a 1985 MR2. Great car!!!

Fri Aug 23 14:37:25 1996 Patrick Ikhifa I have always wanted an MR2 MK II, I own an 86 GT-S Corolla. However the current prices for the MK IIs are still outside my reach so I can only continue to dream that one day I will be the happy owner of one these machines I have a friend who owns one and we constantly see him ttrash te 5.0s and Camaros all day long . his car is a dream! Keep me on your posts if you ahve one.

Fri Aug 23 16:20:9 1996 Arran Jones I own a immaculate 1987 Mica Blue MR2 T-Bar with 15 inch 5 spoke alloy wheels. E-Mail me with any advice......

Sat Aug 24 5:54:11 1996 Bruce Gebbie MR2 MK1's are great fun cars. I have owned them for 5 years after Corolla Levins and FX-GT's. Currently have a 88 supercharger manual T-top which is a faster but softer car than the previous 87 non-supercharged. On good rubber the 87 was a REAL sportscar. The 88 has now done 127000 kms and is just run in the only repairs being clutch, cam belt and brake pads. Test drove a 92 Turbo manual days ago and was most disappointed - heaps of mid-range power, but all over by 6000 rpm, it was a noisy, harsh car with quirky handling, but the ABS was absolutley brilliant. May be of interest - MR2's are still quite desirable in New Zealand typical prices would be 1985 $8000, 1988 supercharger $10000, 1993 Turbo $20000.

Sat Aug 24 9:2:14 1996 Eugene Stewart I have had other sports cars (Fiero GT, BMW 320i, CRX), now with kids, mortgage etc I'm looking forward to having a sports car again. Mine is a 1987, few options and 291K kms so it will probably be a project as well from time to time. Still looking forward to getting it on the road this weekend.

Sun Aug 25 3:21:17 1996 Mac Nelson I love my MR2 and think it is great that I can "cruise" your MR2 web site and cruise around town in my MR2!!!

Sun Aug 25 10:28:20 1996 chris mason Live in Northern N.S.W.and drive my '87 MR2 plenty of country k's-the way it should be driven.The car has never let me down regardless of the predicament.Not the quickest car but definately the best handling car I've ever driven.How could we ever drive anything else.

Sun Aug 25 12:9:13 1996 Dan I've owned a Toyota MR2 since I bought it brand new in 1987. I've never had a major problem with it, and it runs like new with over 100K miles. Best investment in an automobile I ever made... Dan

Mon Aug 26 14:16:1 1996 Ian Simpson It's almost two years since I bought my 1989 MR2. It's the car I dreamt of owning when I was younger (not that I'm old). It has lived up to my expectations.

Tue Aug 27 15:23:24 1996 Lindy Schaefer I am so, so obsessed with MR2's. I was devastated when they quit manufacturing them. It is my life-long goal to one day own an MR2. I can not even describe the feelings I have for this beautiful machine!!!!!!!

Tue Aug 27 21:36:11 1996 Lindy Schaefer I already e-mailed this once today, but I am just so excited to discover this site. It's great. Please send me any great stories about some MR2 experiences, I would love to hear them. One question, Are there any other women that are forever in love with the MR2? Oh yeah, what's this about an MRJ????? Please send info!

Wed Aug 28 4:30:16 1996 Richard I have a 1991 Turbo which I re-chipped, lowered, fitted 16" 3 piece wheels. It looks a million dollars and I really enjoy driving it (including on the race track)

Thu Aug 29 8:40:41 1996 Troy Turner I've got a 1992 2.0 litre GT T-Bar in aquamarine and its' handling characteristics are magnificant! I have recommended this car to several of my colleagues and now there are 8 in the car park in the morning! I'm quite anxious to get the car on a race track, so does anyone know of any MR2 owners clubs in the UK who might organise such events?

Thu Aug 29 18:19:54 1996 Krista Stoneburg I LOVE MR2's!! I've had an 86' a 91' and now a 94'! They are the best!

Thu Aug 29 20:34:5 1996 Scott Schultz I just had to e-mail my wife and tell her how great your page is. She wants me to get rid of my 91 turbo with a 132K on it. I keep fighting her telling her the car is great. maybe she can read some of the letters from others and become convinced. Keep up the good work.

Fri Aug 30 17:49:16 1996 Jason Anderson Cool site Geoff!!

Fri Aug 30 18:56:6 1996 mccoy Am researching exaust upgrades...would appreciate any advice, opinions. Is HKS exaust worth price? With Cat? Would simply bypassing cat improve flow much? What about straight pipes? I have a 93 turbo with K&N Filtercharger and a manual boost control set a 13 psi.

Fri Aug 30 19:0:9 1996 mccoy Own a 93 turbo with (so far) a K&N Filtercharger, Manual boost control, and a very good radar detector!
