Tue Dec 3 14:51:53 1996 Ali this is the first time i was searching for the MR2. i was not expecting at all to get all this great info. i own a 1988 and a 1992 MR2 and i love to drive them. I just love MR2s

Tue Dec 3 19:44:45 1996 Steven Ponder I've owned Fiat X 1/9s (too slow!), a 1987 CRX Si (torque steer and fragility!), 1988 Merkur XR4Ti (body roll and turbo lag)and a 1984 Mustang SVO (lousy build-quality, lag and ugly engine note)- but I still have my 1985 MR2 - with over 153,000 miles! The best sports car I've ever owned. Bulletproof. Extremely tossable and predictable. Nice mid-range punch. Great exhaust note (esp. after 4,000rpm)!

Tue Dec 3 23:59:49 1996 Kinard Boone Had an 87 NA, now a 93 Turbo. Looking into performance ups. HKS-VBC, FCD, P-Flow and exhaust. What's the max boost on a stock 3SGTE? Feedback welcome. Great car and page.

Wed Dec 4 4:30:35 1996 o. aveiro I love my 85 mr2 silver with 135k miles and runs like a new

Wed Dec 4 10:1:30 1996 Vanessa I love this page. I had no idea that there are such fanatics out there, my boyfriend has an MR2 and is crazed about it. He would love this page.

Wed Dec 4 15:32:6 1996 alex mccullough I owned an 87 and an 86 mr2, unloaded. I still have the 86, which had an oil leak while on the highway (loose pan gasket?) and lost all compression and then seized. Now I am looking at rebuilding this car, which I have loved for a while now. I would like to get a supercharged motor in this baby with an enhanced suspension, etc. any suggestions or caveats would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wed Dec 4 16:37:5 1996 Wes Jones Love the effort that went into this.

Wed Dec 4 22:20:27 1996 Geoffrey Shapiro Beautiful ski-blue 85

Thu Dec 5 18:39:23 1996 Erik Shum You got taste. MR2 is the most amazing car on the planet and doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Do you know anyone near Toronto, Ontario who's got a 1993 yellow Mr2 who's willing to sell. Me and a lot of people I know would be very interested!!!

Thu Dec 5 23:39:44 1996 Armando Menendez I am a MR2 owner from P.R. I love that web site i have an MR2 Supercharged 1988

Sat Dec 7 5:30:47 1996 Ralph W Ede Geoff, I am brand new to internet. The first thing i used a search engine for was "Toyota MR2". I guess you now know where my heart is! The first Engine couldn't get through to you. Infoseek works OK though. I hope you feel proud of presentation and content of your directory. It is truely remarkable. Keep up the good work. I have left some mindless ramblings on the "who's who page". Best Regards Ralph

Sat Dec 7 13:59:23 1996 Brian Fujita I own a 94 MR-2 and things can't get any better

Sat Dec 7 21:20:18 1996 Masa Okubo I just bought 92 MR2 recently because my 94 Honda Del Sol got stolen twice in half year. My impression of MR2 is that this car is so fast! And it's fun to drive. Thanx for the information! It really helped me a lot. I couldn't find article about TRD. If you guys could put this company's stuff in the future, then it will help me alot because I like performance cars and I already have some modification to my car. Thanx

Sat Dec 7 22:37:44 1996 Edward Warren I own a '91 MR2 Turbo...I enjoyed looking through your site.

Sun Dec 8 0:0:16 1996 BOB EDMANDS I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A 1985 MR2, AND WILL SOON BE BUYING MY FATHERS 1991 TURBO MR2!! I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS! ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE ENGINE OF THE 1985 IS A HORSE, AS NFL COMMENTATOR KEITH JACKSON WOULD SAY. (PROBABLY SPELLED HAUSE) IT HAS RUN UNFAILINGLY. I HOPE TO HAVE MANY MORE YEARS OF DRIVING PLEASURE FROM THIS TOYOTA PRODUCT!- SINCERELY, BOB EDMANDS- INDIANAPOLIS, IN

Sun Dec 8 10:40:57 1996 Jeff French Great site, lots of good info. Some more pics of others Mr's would be muchly appreciated. Great Work!!!!

Tue Dec 10 1:6:43 1996 Christopher Hoffman "A Ferrari with a Toyota emblem" is how Car and Driver once put it. Although I don't own one, I still love them. They make my heart go pitter-patter. I am interested, so if anyone wants to part with their beautiful car, or knows someone else who might want to, please e-mail me. Any year (prefferably '89 and up) will be in good hands. One more message...to Toyota, BRING MR. 2 BACK!

Wed Dec 11 0:27:19 1996 Stan Carter I bought my white 85 MR2 last fall with 107K miles. I've driven it 50 miles a day, back and forth to work. With lite foot, have managed as much as 41.4 MPG @ 70 MPH. Mister 2 is the best handling production car I've owned yet. I'm convinced that Lotus and Toyota traded some good ideas when they brainstormed the idea that became the MR2, and we all came out the winners! Great site, Im sure to return again.

Wed Dec 11 0:40:24 1996 Ashvin Babu Just got my 88 Mr2 S/C back from the body shop after many delays. I had forgotten how fast this car was (driving a sentra for two months will do that to you). The only problem is they didn't attach the exhaust properly it seems and it sounds like an angry insect of some sort. Still smiling though...later

Wed Dec 11 8:23:32 1996 Marc Summers Have driven a 1993 MR2-T now for 4 years, best car I have ever owned. It is also a lot of fun to modify, and as all know, can be very expensive to do so. Have fun, and try to keep it under 150mph :^)

Wed Dec 11 10:47:52 1996 Dennis It's nice to know there are mr2 freaks like me!! i use to own Mk1 till she met her maker (slammed from the rear by someone who obviously was to drunk to drive). would like to own another in the near future:>

Wed Dec 11 12:27:39 1996 Chris Hey Fiero lover from March '96- You suck. Your car sucks too.

Wed Dec 11 12:45:11 1996 Stephen Gunter This is my first contact with the site, and I hope that you will keep up the good work. I am especially interested in 4-AG related info.

Thu Dec 12 21:17:46 1996 Jeff Mishtawy Last week I traded in my '87 Supra and purchased a '93 MR2. I am very pleased with the MR2's performance, I LOVE the way it corners. I mean this car does things my Supra could not dream of. Anyway, I live in Columbus Ohio and I am interested in meeting other MR2 owners to gain knowlege about my new favorite automobile.

Sat Dec 14 0:7:49 1996 Aimee Vicencio i just had my 91 red turbo mr2 painted silver...like a whole new car...i love it unfortunately, 2 weeks later someone scratched hood & roof in Baltimore.

Sat Dec 14 13:57:12 1996 Brandon I have fallen in love with the MR2....I dont currently own one now but I would have in my garage. I just have to save up a little to afford one I just have a few questions for y'all. Give me an overall rating of the 92T,93T. I know alittle but not alot. I would love to get one. I currently drive a 1988 Nissan200SX-SEV6. It is nice right now but would like something a little newer. Ya know? I have some cars narrowed down I like the Acura Integra but it is FWD(yuck). But I think the MR2 is one of the sweetest Jap cars that were made. My car is RWD and I think anycar that is in my garage has to have RWD! What do you think the price of the 93T will be in 3 years. I know that sounds like a long time but my current car has tons of mile still to be out on it. It is a great car for now but is too damn square. Well that's all folk! or in Spanish= Colorin Colorado este acuenta se ha acubado(thats all folks) =)

Sat Dec 14 17:15:51 1996 Dominique Gilbert Awesome and totally informative! Thanks a million! :)

Sat Dec 14 19:1:9 1996 Shaun Salisbury I own an '86 MR2. It has over 160,000 miles, and still runs great. However, as most owners know, it lacks power. I'm beginning to research engine, suspension, and braking enhancements. This site is a great help. Any more tips or info would be great.

Sat Dec 14 20:22:54 1996 Gina Cirelli I just got a midnight blue '89 MR2. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I'm looking for any dealer specs or brochures about it...if anyone can help, give a write!

Sun Dec 15 4:58:43 1996 Paul Parkes Good fun , Well edited.

Sun Dec 15 11:28:26 1996 ivan I have a Toyota, but not THE MR2 (yet). I love this car.

Sun Dec 15 15:15:17 1996 Mike I really love this little car. 85 5spd. Has anyone ever bought any engines or trans from K. Watanabe Corp. in California ???? Are they legit???

Sun Dec 15 16:8:11 1996 Doug Please Help!! My 91 MR2 turbo has an erratic miss when you stand on the gas. It only seems to do it when the turbo is spooling up but not at full boost. It acts just like it did a few months ago when the plug wires were bad. I've since replaced the cap, rotor button, and several sets of plugs. I took it to the local Toyota dealer and they told me it was the plugs, so I replaced them again, and that didn't solve the problem. The dealer wouldn't put it on the analyzer, or go any further than the spark plugs. I've also noticeed some oil seepage around the intercooler plumbing, between the turbo and the intercooler. It's very slight and the car doesn't seem to use any oil or smoke at all. Please E-mail me with any ideas or suggestions.

Sun Dec 15 16:17:23 1996 Alex Malferrari I have a 1991 Blue MR2 Hard Top . The best car I've ever had. A fun classic sports Car.Will probably keep it for the rest of my life.

Sun Dec 15 17:6:39 1996 Johnny Friis I own an 12/85 MR2 and it is my 2. MR2. I'm am a member of a Danish MR2 club, called MR2 Drivers Club Denmark.

Sun Dec 15 19:44:49 1996 Shelly Getting ready to pick up my 1991 MR2 Turbo tomorrow that I just bought and I would like to find out more about the cars and their performance and possible upgrades.

Sun Dec 15 19:54:44 1996 Stefan Baptiste I think that this is a great information network on the MR2. However I own an '87 Supra N/A, which is completely stock with absolutely no rust. Rare find for an '87. I bought it two yrs ago with 87,000Kms, it now has 176,000kms, all major services were done at the dealer. Everything on this car works prefectly, and it its a joy to drive as an everyday car. I'd really like to get more info on Supra 'clubs' or owners associations in the US or Canada. Please reply to my e-mail address or my residential address: 94, Cowan Blvd., Cambridge, Ontario. Canada. N1T 1K7. Tel: (519) 623-3366.

Mon Dec 16 10:18:55 1996 Dzulkifly Sulaiman I am an MR2 owner which I purchased in 1992 in Bendigo,Victoria,Australia and then shipped to Malaysia,my hometown,1994. I am proud of you all who contributed all the information on MR2.It is very informative.Keep up the good work and wishing you all the best time with your MR2. ( I apologise for any grammar mistakes written )

Mon Dec 16 11:49:25 1996 Sam Joseph IMPORTANT! I'm Seeking information concerning the 1988 and 1989 4AGZE production. Specifically, I need authoritative docummentable information concerning the actual number of Supercharged MR-2's (MKIs's) manufactured worldwide, and how many were imported in 1988 and 1989. This data is not readily available through any channel I've previously persued through Toyota. In fact, they're pretty sensitive about these kinds of questioned; Quiche' eaters, I suppose.

Mon Dec 16 13:0:40 1996 Dan Sarkar Greetings Fellow MR2 owners! I just wanted to drop a line and touch base with others out there who share the same passion for their MR2s as I do. I have an 85 MR2 with 250,000kms on the clock. I recently blew the head gasket, and rather than replace the gasket, I replaced the whole engine! In Japan, the 4A-GE powerplant is still in production, although it is calibrated differently (more power) so I got one from a 93 Celica shipped over and installed. My original 4A-GE had 112hp and 9.2:1 compression, and the new one has 10:1 compression, which translates into approx. 150hp @ 7100rpm; quite an improvement, no turbo, no supercharger. Anyway, if you'd like to know more, or tell me about your MR2, please feel free to drop me line! Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas! -and remember: life begins at 6000 RPM! P.S. My e-mail address is atdlondon@aol.com

Mon Dec 16 13:44:52 1996 Jimmy Riley Don't have a email address. I'm at the library

Mon Dec 16 14:3:48 1996 Myles N. I put 17 inch silver Momo Arrows wheels on my 91 Mr2 with 40 series Toyo tires. Also lower the car by 1.5 inch. The car looks real good now.

Mon Dec 16 14:11:33 1996 SCOTT PARKES My Mum owns a 1990 Mk2 coupe in black. She's had it for about a year now and it is the best car I have ever been in The site is one of the best sites on the internet. Hope to here from other MR2 owners soon.

Mon Dec 16 16:36:50 1996 Marti Merry Christmas MR2 owners! I'm '85 MR2 owner from Poland.Please fell free to e-mail me - sjhook@hotmail.com!!!!

Tue Dec 17 5:58:19 1996 Nathaniel Wight I used to own an 86' Toyota MR2. It was my first car (for I am only 18 years old). The summer after my senior year in H.S., "Hobbes" was stolen from my front yard. My MR2 was silver with black/silver interior. I had bought a leather gearshift, boot, new floor mats... everything. It was my baby and my love. I was stunned and greatly upset (I even cried) when my Hobbes was stolen. Being an 18 year old male, I sought individuality in everything I did and who I was, my MR2 was a link to that. So rare, so beautiful. I was constantly asked "what kind of car is that?"... I replied proudly "my little MR2". I would wash it, take care of it, and... well, race it :). MR2's are my favorite cars, and I miss mine dearly. It was reliable, fast (beat every CRX and Civic I ever raced!) and most of all, a Toyota. I have a new loyalty to Toyota, and plan to buy another as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I'm a struggling college student, so that might be a while, but it will happen. This is a wonderful car and a great page you folks have here. I'm glad there are others that appreciate the little Mister 2 as much as I. Thank you Toyota, thank you Hobbes. Great web sight guys, gotta get those Japanese only txt. files fixed, but other than that; great! Thanks for the opportunity to tell you about my love, the Toyota MR2... looking forward to a US revival. Seeya, and good luck!

Tue Dec 17 6:38:55 1996 Angelo M Poulos Bring-back the MR-2. A "Dan Gurney Special" with white & blue trim reminiscence of the early Indianapolis car. A supercharged V-six like Volksvagon's G-Ladder. Keep the same beautiful style. t-Top or Coupe.

Tue Dec 17 10:13:3 1996 Rick I am looking for a high quality car cover for a 1993 turbo MR2 I just bought. If I can get any info it would be appreciated.

Wed Dec 18 6:20:13 1996 Matt Sims Rebecca (wife) and I picked up our 'new' white 91 NA (3S-GE)T-top yesterday, took 3 months to find the right car. Looking forward to some great 'summer touring' down under this summer (Aussie Summer).

Wed Dec 18 11:48:34 1996 Steve R. Sattler I Test drove a late model MR2 and loved it.However, as it had 60,000 miles on it I did not pursue buying it. I am casualy interested in finding a Dealership in So. Calif that has a low mieage 95 - Any suggestions as to how to find one ?. Thanks - Steve MR2

Thu Dec 19 8:6:6 1996 Rick I have just a 1993 white turbo mr2. It is the best car I have ever driven. I believe toyota has shot themselves in the foot when they quit making them. It took me 2 years to find the perfect one, but now that I have, there is almost no greater fun.

Thu Dec 19 9:55:45 1996 Jim brumbaugh I owned an 85 Mr2 and it was a fun car . Traded it for a 74 260 Z that was about 60% restored and have since finished the job for the most part . Although the Z is far from stock , has loads of power and is very fast , the Mr2 was much more fun to drive . I look forward to the chance to own ( and this time modify ) another .

Fri Dec 20 0:29:22 1996 Brad Woodworth I previously owned an '85 classic, white w/ a white painted rear fin. Basically stock as a rock! What a fun car ; ^) The most ironic thing was that the girl that I dated at the time had the exact same year mr. 2 with the painted fin that I did. TOTALLY by coincedence!!

Sat Dec 21 9:30:23 1996 Glen Glassford Hi! I have an interesting story to share. I have a 91 Black MR2 Turbo that I purchased new off the showroom floor. What a car. Every option imaginable except the Toyota factory alarm. Early this year the car started running terrible. Turned out, after a long fight, the car had been run without oil at a dealership during a service checkup. How could this be? A Toyota dealership on top of that. I was not happy to say the least, but I decided there was not much I could do. It took me 4 months to rebuild the car, but now it runs great. Faster than ever. Current configuration: 15" ROH ZR5 wheels with Nitto NT-450 tires, 205/50 front, 225/50 back TRD Short Shifter HKS Exhaust K & N Filtercharger Greddy Turbo Timer Custom made clutch from MR2 Performance in Colorado Turbo rebuilt by Turbo City in CA Beru Silverstone Spark plugs Redline Water Wetter Redline 5w-30 Synthetic Motor Oil Redline MT-90 Tansaxle Lubricant Complete motor overhall with new bearings, rings, crank I would like to here your stories, good and bad. I circulate a newsletter here in Texas and we always are looking for information to help us make better choices. Thanks. Glen Glassford; President, Texas Mr2 Club

Sun Dec 22 20:55:20 1996 Steven Pezzi Coolest page man. My 89' red NA just loves to wake up the neighbours at around 6000RPM in the mornin'. Does anyone know of an MR2 club in Montreal Canada? drop me a line. Merry Christmas...

Mon Dec 23 13:6:33 1996 Melvin Chong I've been driving the MR2 for a while but have just got on to the net. The site is informative and I hope to learn from it and maybe even contribute.

Mon Dec 23 23:28:54 1996 Jason Haines I just bought an 1987 MR2. I love it! This MR2 page is very helpful in answering my questions.

Tue Dec 24 1:7:56 1996 matt Benjamin I had the chance to drive my mr2 in the snow for the first time last week, and it held up pretty good. I watched as a Chevy S-10 pickup in front of me slowed until it was sliding backwards and then sideways on a modertly steep hill, I drove right around it, without so much as a slip! Time and time again a great car! Thanks toyota, and Lotus.

Tue Dec 24 13:2:4 1996 Dave Paddock I have a 1986 Silver MR2. Looking for a high performance muffler. This looks like a great site to meet other MR2 owners.

Wed Dec 25 1:15:44 1996 DKLS Merry Chrismas!!

Wed Dec 25 11:34:47 1996 Luis You have quite a selections here but my major disappointment was that prices of the items were not available. I guess most of the companies does not like to advertise the price on line so that we can compare prices. Then what's the use of internet? I didn't find much help here.

Wed Dec 25 12:53:16 1996 Ken This web page is really interesting and good. I wanted 2 buy the mr2 turbo back in 94 but it was too expensive so i bought an eclipse.

Wed Dec 25 13:38:24 1996 brian schultetus I am having a problem with my 1988 MR2. I live in Illinous were it gets cold, and I can't get much heat when the ambent tempature is below 30 deg. I have changed the thermostat and bleed the system but it doesn't seem to help. I get heat at speeds below 40 mph, but after that the faster I go the less heat I have. The tempature gauge will fall below the scale on the gauge, and my fuel milage is suffering. If you can help I would appriciate it.

Fri Dec 27 2:58:57 1996 Ben Schappaugh I am having a problem with my MR2 and I wondered if you had any info or suggestions to help me. Every time the temperature gets below freezing, my throttle cable won't move freely and seems to be froze but then when parked in a gararge it thaws out. I would appreciate any info on how to fix this problem or if you have a newsgroup or someone else I can talk to that would do also. By the way, this is an excellent web site more info here than anywhere else. Thanks, Ben Schappaugh dschappa@fcg.net

Fri Dec 27 12:58:16 1996 Jeffrey Thomas I am a first time visitor I have been the sole owner of an '88 Supercharged MR2 with 45K miles The MR2 has a HKS Overdrive Pulley, HKS Exhaust, K&N filter and TRD Clutch. I would like to squeeze a bit more power out of it!

Fri Dec 27 21:59:20 1996 Andy Wong THIS IS MY THIRD MR2 I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1989. I STILL HAVE MY 89 MARK 1 WHICH I USE AS A SECOND CAR. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A MARK 2 90 MR2 IN 117 KW FORM. THEN LATE THIS YEAR, I CHANGED IT TO A 94 MR2 "BATHURST" WITH THE MORE POWERFUL 129 KW ENGINE. THIS ONE HAS TONS MRE GO THAN THE 117 KW MODEL WHICH I THOUGHT WAS QUITE PEPPY. ALL THREE MR2s HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY RELIABLE AND ARE A THRILL DO DRIVE. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER SPORTS CARS LIKE AN ALFA ROMEO GTV6(A REAL HEADACHE, ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN) TRIUMPH TR6(ANOTHER HEADACHE), 86 TOYOTA CELICA SX, 85 TOYOTA SPRINTER AND THE FIRST GENERATION HONDA PRELUDE BUT NONE OF THEM ARE AS FUN TO DRIVE OR TURNS HEADS LIKE THE MR2. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER CAR I WOULD LIKE TO OWN, NOT EVEN A MAZDA RX-7. AN M3, PORSCHE 911 S4 OR A FERRARI F355 WOULD BE TOPS THOUGH BUT COST A WHOLE LOT MORE.

Sat Dec 28 2:26:55 1996 kevin delgadillo I own a '91 MR2 and am looking to see if Toyota is making a new model for '97. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated... :) KD

Sat Dec 28 13:23:58 1996 Othoniel Rodriguez Jimenez Bought a MR2-87 about three weeks ago on the insistence of my 15year old son. I must admit that I have enjoyed the car much more than what I had expected, and though it will be owned by my son pretty soon, I am already thinking about getting one all for myself.

Sat Dec 28 16:23:17 1996 Todd R Caspell Help! I backed my baby thru a lamp pole at 60 mph. need trunklid, bumper >and spoiler. I think everything else is OK. Also could use a shift boot. > Thanks Todd 88 Mr.2 supercharged >

Sat Dec 28 16:26:9 1996 Hunter B. CURRIN I own a 1988 MR-2 with 120,000 miles. I bought it new and plan to keep it indefinitely.

Sat Dec 28 20:20:43 1996 Steve Young THIS IS MYT FORTH MR2 I HAVE OWNED, A 95 MR2 GT TURBO. I STILL HAVE MY 89 MARK 1 MR2 SUPERCHARGED 4A-GZE MODEL WHICH I USE A SECOND CAR. PRIOR TO THAT, I HAVE HAD AN 87 N/A MARK 1 AND A 92 MARK 2 N/A. ALL OF MY MR2s HAVE BEEN SUPER RELIABLE AND A GREAT PLEASURE TO OWN AND DRIVE. MY NEW MR2 TURBO REALLY GOES LIKE HELL COMPARED TO MY OTHER MR2s. I HAVE RACED AND BEATEN RX-7S, PRELUDES, CRXS, INTEGRAS, 200SX, 300ZX EVEN AN NSX! I LOVE BOTH MY MR2 AND CAN'T THINK OF ANOTHER CAR I WOULD LIKE TO OWN, NOT EVEN AN RX-7, NSX, 3000GT OR A 300ZX. A FERRARI F355 WOULD BE UNREAL THOUGH........

Sat Dec 28 21:36:32 1996 Allen I'm considering buying a used MR2 Turbo, preferably a "facelifted" 1992 model. I'm a car "nut" with a 1974 Lotus Seven series 4 which I've nearly finished rebuilding, and my wife and I use a 1990 Ford Laser GT-X 4WD 1.8i Turbo (117kW!!) as our everyday car. MR2s are a comparatively popular sportscar here in New Zealand, with at least as many having been imported as used cars from Japan (both countries drive on the left) as were originally sold new here. I'm just learning the details and subtlr distinctions between the years at this stage. The test drives are yet to come!

Sun Dec 29 3:0:15 1996 Lyn C. Adams Great car

Sun Dec 29 7:40:12 1996 Stuart Anderson I just have to say that the MR2 is truely the best Toyota ever made. I have owned 5 MR2's in the last 9 years, 3 Mark 1s a 87, 88 and 90 (One a privately imported supercharged model) and two Mark 2s a 92 and my current 95 GT N/A model. I still have my supercharged model which is midnight blue in colour is still a delight to drive and still beats many new sports cars. My black MR2 GT is the top of the line model here in Australia with premium Pioneer sound system. leather, ABS and many more features. All my MR2s have benn extriemely reliable with no breakdowns, I just follow the routine service, I wash both my MR2s every weekend and I praise the dealer from whom I bought my 4 MR2s from as they give first class service. An awesome sight. Keep up the fine work.

Sun Dec 29 18:16:17 1996 Kimberley I too love my MR2, its lots of fun in the sun but beware when the rain/wind sets in! ....Kimberley

Sun Dec 29 23:29:3 1996 Stephen J. Perkins Previously owned an 86. Want to purchase a later model and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the URL mr2.com. Great stuff!

Mon Dec 30 13:46:26 1996 Rob Davis I own a 1986 MR2, all the extras. Still runs great! (and QUICK) Why is Toyota discontinuing this wonderful little car?

Mon Dec 30 15:0:44 1996 Shan I have a 91 turbo MR2 Toyota. It is red with black leather interior. It is and will always be my baby. I try to change the oil myself ever 2000 miles with mobil oil and fram filters. I have found that Bosch Platnuim plugs are excellent for the highest peak power you can get through a spark plug! Everyone be sure to change the timing chain at the recomended 70,000 miles. If you don't change the timing chain, it could ruin the valve train, therefore doing damage to your power plant, engine!! Be sure to change the fuel filter too! It has a very important job of delivering clean gas to your fuel injection. It should be changed about every 30,000 miles or less. They cost no more than 15 dollars at Auto-zone.

Mon Dec 30 17:33:29 1996 David Klee Help! This site is great, but I'm not in a good mood! Thieves broke into my car and ripped off my 5 day old Kenwood CD player. The sunroof is cracked and the plastic cover around the a/c/radio is destroyed! If anyone can help me find parts for this (1986 Black mark 1)I would be eternally grateful! Thanks in advance!

Tue Dec 31 11:49:44 1996 Tim Toenjes Hi Geoff! I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this site up to date. I've kinda been out of the MR2 scene for awhile, but hope to have a bunch of updated info and pictures to post for my Who's Who entry.

Tue Dec 31 15:14:8 1996 Tedmund M. Struzeski Great web page for an excellent car!

Tue Dec 31 18:40:6 1996 Rick Brennan Own a 1988 S/C MR2 that just turned 100k Miles. Use it as my commuter car...Still runs great. Looked at a newer Turbo MR2. Loved it, but can't justify cost to use as a second car.

Tue Dec 31 19:22:49 1996 Sam Chan Great!

Tue Dec 31 19:24:42 1996 Sam Chan I have a red 88 MR2 with T-top, and I love it!
