Wed Nov 6 13:23:5 1996 Earl Wheaton I have an 86 Mr2 which I like very much. Being a former British owner its a joy to have something run everyday without leaking important substances all over.

Thu Nov 7 15:41:42 1996 Robert Steinhardt Hello from Australia! I have owned a red 1990 MR2 since March and it would have to be the best vehicle I have ever driven. Sexy, gutsy, responsive and handles like the true mid-engine low-slung beast that it is.
Thu Nov 7 19:27:23 1996 Kory Yingling I love my 91 MR2 Turbo. Just got me a set of 16x7 rims up front and 17x8s in back. Wrapped in 205/45ZR16 up front and 235/40ZR17 in back. It handles so much better now! I have a problem with the low oil level light coming on though, any body familiar with this?
Fri Nov 8 8:59:32 1996 Javier Denison I did realize MR2's had such an avid following. This webpage really helped me in deciding to go ahead and purchase a Red 93 MR2 Turbo. I really didn't know much about them until I visited this site. Thankyou.
Fri Nov 8 9:35:31 1996 Roger Nixon '85 Mk I (NA) Anyone know of any supercharged Mk Is in the UK?
Fri Nov 8 15:0:55 1996 William L. Hann In 1995 I traded my 1991 MR2 Turbo on a new Supra TT. In the final analysis, while the Supra has infinitely more raw power than the MR2, the Supra lacks identity. It is just another very fast car. I wish that I had bought a 1995 Mr. Deuce.
Fri Nov 8 19:56:7 1996 Kevin Podoll I have a 91 MR2 Non turbo(couldent afford). I love it with a passion. MR2's are my life. Kick the women aside and spend all your money on the car. Please E-mail me at clhengge@brain.uccs.edu. Hurry up with it.
Fri Nov 8 21:50:24 1996 Mike Neal Atlanta Ga. I need help!! My 1987 MR2 will hesitate while cruising down the highway after going about 30 miles. I pull off the highway and it runs great. My dealer can't figure it out. I've replaced the cat. con.,coil,wires,fuel filter,fuel cap,injectors cleaned. please e-mail any suggestions at karmike@concentric.net

Sun Nov 10 9:51:22 1996 D. Gentner-Day I am a proud owner of a '91 red MR2 Turbo. I have always hated driving, but since I bought my car, I make excuses to get behind the wheel. When I'm stop at a signal light oreven when I'm driving down the road, I'll have people yell, "nice car" or "great car". Kory Yingling mentioned a problem with the LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT coming on. I also have that problem. I change my oil every 3,000 miles, and the light comes on about 1,000 miles. I have a perplexing question: Why do people always ask me WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT; IS IT A MUSTANG? dday@continet.com
Sun Nov 10 10:34:4 1996 Steve and Amy Steve owns a Caribbean blue 1996 MR2. It's a special anniversary edition T-bar model .... #245. We're dead sad and call him Hulio ... but we love him and that's all that matters!
Sun Nov 10 12:42:43 1996 Sam Joseph Own '88 4AGZE. Any Ideas on where I can find an original equiptment leather steering wheel (BLUE) for a price somewhat less than the usurous prices charged by Toyota USA?
Sun Nov 10 15:7:29 1996 Marcus McCarthy I have been in love with the old Mark I model for nearly ten years, when my father test drove one back in 1986. They are very few and far between on Australian roads, which will probably make finding a good one all taht extra special.
Sun Nov 10 15:52:7 1996 Troy Wiltbank I would like any suggestions on how to add more inexpensive performance to my 86 MR2.
Sun Nov 10 23:35:23 1996 Erik Herson Hi! everyone. I own a 91 mister 2 (non turbo). I love it and have several mods and enter it in car shows once and a while.

Mon Nov 11 2:2:16 1996 Steve Avooski I have just recently bought a 91 MR2. I could'nt be more happy. What a great toy..
Mon Nov 11 2:56:59 1996 Chris Tran I have an MR2 too, but mine is alot better looking than any of the ones that I've seen. Just kidding, mine just has a full body kit on it, so it looks different from any of the ones that I've just seen. In conclusion I think the MR2 is the best Japanese sports cars that was ever built. And i am proud to be the owner of a 1992 toyota MR2.
Mon Nov 11 9:47:31 1996 patrick johnson I own a 1987 toyata and it is the best vehichle i have ever had. THANKS TOYOTA. p.j

Mon Nov 11 20:34:25 1996 Joe Dyer I just sold a Lotus car and purchased a 1992 MR2, in light blue metallic. It has an HKS turbo controller installed by its previous owner.

Wed Nov 13 18:25:49 1996 Matt Feret Proud owner of a 1991 MR2 Turbo. Great site, how bout some addresses for performance cataloges? Maybe you got 'em, just haven't found them. Anyway, just put a Select Sales intake on my car (cheaper AND dyno-tested better than an HKS) and it sucks the air like a champ. Take it easy, e-mail me if you got any performance tips (Ie good prices and/or references on my next step, intercoolers and boost controllers) Happy flying.
Wed Nov 13 18:39:5 1996 David Bridge Have enjoyed the site so far. Will call in again soon. Why don't we have turbos in Britain. What a shite county Toyota must think this is. I wonder how easy it is to fit one. Still, thats pipe dreams anyway, I can't afford it.

Fri Nov 15 5:24:0 1996 JIM BECK
Fri Nov 15 10:32:32 1996 SAYAPHON STIMPY i think the mr2 is quite a remakable ride in a back seat like a cadillac. it features many things like speed, and gets girls. i would recomend it to anyone.

Mon Nov 18 8:52:39 1996 Joel Chinsky I had a 1987 Beautiful metalic blue MR2 5-speed. It was the smoothest car I have had. The experience was incredible the handling was so much fun. None of my friend cars could touch me. I beat a mustang gt at one time. remember shifting at 8,000 rpm makes a big difference. I sold the car for a 87 bmw 325is 5-speed which I love but I will always miss my MR2.
Mon Nov 18 9:46:56 1996 Dan Merrill I I had one of the original 100 MR2's delivered to the United States (back in February 1985 - point of entry Long Beach CA). I have logged over 180K miles on mine and love it to death! Have driven all over the United States with it, too. Was very disappointed when Toyota discontinued the little sports car... Happy Motoring!
Mon Nov 18 12:54:31 1996 Tony Kern I truly love to drive this car and getting a 93 w/25K miles for $15,000 was equally sweet.Very high smiles per miles ratio !! Would like to hear from other owners re tires,suspension goodies,etc.
Mon Nov 18 14:36:25 1996 Dave Healy Help! Help! I have a Mk1 T-bar. I've just found out that I need a] a complete new exhaust system and b] new end rubbers for the rain gutters on the roof panels. A new exhaust system from the dealer will set me back 300 notes - can anyone recommend an alternative? And the end rubbers only seem to come as part of a complete new roof panel, at a modest 190 pounds. Each. Does anyone out there supply them seperately, or know of someone who does?
Tue Nov 19 10:22:18 1996 Lor mr2 rules!! anyone on sale used parts for 85 , like headers and cams.

Fri Nov 22 14:18:52 1996 Brandon Keener I have an 86 MARK I with 137,000 miles and I love it! Right now though, the struts are shot and I am looking for some stiff replacements. I am also looking into buying an HKS exhaust, 17" rims, and a blower to match. I really want to be able to compete against my cousins MARK II Turbo so any advice you can give would be really appreciated!

Sat Nov 23 21:3:54 1996 Michael Nguyen I have an '85 SkyBlue Mr2. I'm interested in racing it, but find that it's engine is very limited. The people at HKS tell me I can get to 170 HP at stage 4, but I want more!!! I was wondering if it was possible to perform an engine swap with a newer one, preferably a supercharged one. Does anyone out there know if it has been done, or if it can be? Also, I was wondering if anyone has a produced a body kit which eliminates the need for the "pop-up" lights, and makes it flush with the body. I've seen it done on RX-7's but i want to know if it has been done on a Mr2. I'm also interested in buying some rims, preferably 16". If anyone has any information on any of these subjects, contact me at DjPeZ72@juno.com. Thanks...I Love This Web Site.

Mon Nov 25 16:59:2 1996 Bill Kinney I own a 1991 MR2 Turbo and am very pleased with it. I just roled over 62,000 miles and I've already had my 60,000 mile tune-up. One thing that does have my concern is that my car uses a little bit of oil. About every 1,000 miles I have to add about 8 ounces (1/3 of a quart) to bring the dip stick level up to full. I went to my Toyota dealership and they checked for any oil leaks. They could find none and reported that there was no oil in the intercooler. I don't know if this oil loss is from the car getting older, or if it is because it is a turbocharged car. If you have any information for me on this I would sure like to know. Thanks for your time!

Tue Nov 26 18:15:1 1996 Joe Clancy I'm back yall, and I was wondering about if anyone knows about a widebody kit for a Mark I? I want to have a wider tail section and since mine's about to go to the body shop I thought this would be the time to find out... PLEASE HELP!!! I mean, SURELY there's one for the MR2 if there's one for the Escort (I've seen pictures of that one - it's hilarious!)...

Tue Nov 26 23:12:53 1996 David Vespremi Almost got swept up in a ugly multi-car rush hour pile up on 101 southbound outside of San Francisco today. A refrigerator (or dishwasher?) fell into the left lane and a bunch of cars started piling into it and each other. I was in 4th gear, doing about 50 mph in the next lane over when the pile-up began taking place next to me. By stomping on the gas, I was able to get out of the way before a mini-van that had spun out of control flew into the space that I had been in a split second earlier. Thanks to my reflexes, presence of mind, and the quickness of Mr.2, I made it out of there without a scratch (at least five other cars suffered extensive damage). Phew! Thanks Mr. 2... :) Also, for those of you with K&N style air intake cones in your NA MR2's, I suggest custom farbicating a small rain shield out of sheet metal or plastic to keep direct rainfall from soaking the cotton gauze while the car is parked. The vents in the engine cover allow rain to fall directly onto the cone in my car. Water may get into the intake this way, and although I haven't heard of any documented problems, with no factory airbox catching it, this water can't be good for the engine... Anyway, better safe than sorry. :) Happy (and safe) motoring...
Tue Nov 26 23:33:25 1996 Murs Gafoor I don't own one; but I have lusted for one since its introduction. Who else wouldn't want a mid engines, high powered, curb huggin' sportcar. It's the greatest 'Bang for the Buck' ever in my humble opinion.

Thu Nov 28 19:27:5 1996 Carlos I currently live in California and have a red 91 MR2 (first owner, 96k miles). I'm moving to Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) this December and plan to take my MR2 with me but are concerned about parts and service since there are "very few" toyotas in Mexico (specially MR2's) and "NO Toyota Dealerships" . But I will take it anyways (you all can understand that), just imagine... driving a "rare" red MR2 in beautiful Puerto Vallarta must be a great experience... Comments welcome....
