Well, I did it, wrecked my mister2. 2:10, new years day, driving to someone's house with bad directions and a bad navigator, steve yelled, RIGHT! I turned in and all was going well until I hit leaves and slid out of the turn and head on into a tree. The whole front end is destroyed, it would cost much more to fix it than it's worth. selling it for salvage right now. I might get $1,000 out of it. Anybody got a 88-89, MK1, t-top in midnight blue? for around $4,000? breaks my heart man.

Never been here before, I have a '93 non-turbo MR2 and want horsepower.
Are the camshafts from Mr.2 in colorodo a good investment? Also I'd
like to go racing with a friends supercharged '89 MR2 in the midwest,
any ideas? Thanks

Bought my Crimson Red '91 MR2 Turbo new in Nov '91. Now have 98,000 enjoyable, troublefree (except for new metal around the front end after my wife parked it UNDER a Chevy Corsica) miles on it. Paint is faded and power antena quit working a couple months back. I have retired the vehicle now, only to be driven 2-3 times per month and plan to upgrade performance and add new paint as money permits. This is one GREAT car!

By the way, what is 'Armor-All' or an equivalent, I need some to stop my t-bar panels from squeaking. I'm from the UK and have never heard of it.

Hello all. I'm a 1991 MR2 owner and since my warranty has just about run out, I've decided to take a more active role in the upkeep of my car. I'm basically trying to see what I can expect as far as failure items. So far the window washer motor has been the only problem I've found in 62,000 miles.

I love just about any and all MR2s and currently own a Red 1986. Basic as MR2s go but alot of fun on the street or the track. Mine has over 220 000kms having had only basic routine maintenance in its 10 years and its as fast and fun as it ever was. The MR2 rightfully has a track record and owner satisfaction index most HEAP domestic 'sporty' car owners can only dream about.

Hey Geoff:
I have a 91 Turbo and a couple of questions for you:
1. HKS says Stage 4 yields 286HP. Has anyone in the states proven that?
2. I have 16" rims and would like to put 205/55s in the front and 225/50s in the rear. Will they fit? Will 225/50s fit the front and rear?
Thanks for any help.

To elaborate, my little beauty is a loaded, stock, black with tan leather '94 Turbo with 33k miles on it. I want to increase engine power w/o sacrificing driveability. I need ideas for a bigger tire/wheel combo. Anyone know any MR2 specialists near Philadelphia, I'm mechanically retarded! This is my first visit to the site, it's cool!

Just bought an '86 MR2 after doing some research on the internet to see if it was the right move. So far so good!

Mark Davis
I just purchased another MR2. I lost the first one when my wife ran the car off the road on our way home from San Diego to San Francisco.
I now know what happens when you put a hot catilitic(sp) converter on very dry grass. Within minutes the car burned down to the grown. It has taken me months for searching to find another 86 in the close to the same condition as the one I lost. I can't believe how many people tread these wonderful cars so badly. I think the car is one of the best sports cars on the road for the price and although I do like the new body style of the later models, my faviorate will always be the original body style.
I am looking for an MR2 club in my area. I live in San Bruno, CA that is a small city outside of San Francisco.

I have a (89) MR2. I love the car, but it's not a winter car. Resently flooded, now it runs like shit. I took it to a Toyota dealer and they must have messed it up. It sat outside after bieng broken into (at the dealer, while it was bieng fixed) for 3 days in blizzard conditions, -50 below 0 with wind chill. 5 inches of snow inside the car. I am sueing the dealer. I like the car, but it doesn't run very good.

I own a yellow 91' MR2 Turbo and I bought my car about 3 years ago. I'm just about done paying it off and I'm craving more power. I've thought about the options and don't know if I should go with HKS or Greddy. Does everyone have an opinion on which I should go with ? Has anyone tried the superchip ECU upgrade with the ICON unit ? Also I don't know where to start (air filter, exhaust, turbo, chips, intercooler).Any suggestions please E-mail me. I live a city with only maybe 3? MKII MR2, so no one around here knows very much. Later.

I have a red '91 MR2 turbo and I just love my car! The MR2 is the best car I've ever owned. I have Greddy exhaust, K&N air, boost controller, Nology wires, HKS sequential blow off valve, Greddy turbo timer, Repco metal master pads, EIBACH pro springs, Suspension Techniques front swaybar and bushings, and Tokico adjustable struts. The car handles great and is really quick. Thinking about adding NOS. Does anybody already have NOS on their turbo? Please e-mail me if you have any advice. Thanks.

The MR2 is the only sports car to own. The price is uncomparable, and the competition (i.e. Nissan 300zx; Mitsibishi GTO; etc.) for price and performance is left choking on your tyre smoke. And I have yet to see any MR2 (either MK I/MK II) that doesn't have all the bells 'n' whistle's! TOTALLY AWESOME!

Well, I've been drooling over the Mr2 for almost a year now, and two days ago i bought my dream car. A 1988 NA white mr2 with 5spd(of course), t-tops, stereo, tilt, cruise, etc. I love it!
(ps.love the website :D )

I just bought an 85 MR2 with 116K miles. The weather has been too cold to find all the "opportunities" but I know it needs new struts. What should I look for regarding the power train, and what do you recommend for suspension? The right front sounds like it's going to fly apart when the brakes are applied - I'm guessing I have a slightly warped rotor doing it's thing on a strut with no bushing left. I'm thinking about getting into auto crossing but showroom stock would be fine. All input is appreciated.

I think that this web-site is extremely well done. I wish there were a few more pictures including the statistics. As a whole this site really brings to life the true excitement that dwells deep with in the bowls of this sports-car. Only driving it can interest you more. That is why I've always said, "THIS CAR IS LIKE A DRIVEN ORGASM!"

Have had more fun in the 6 yrs I've owned my 91 turbo than all the previous cars combined, including the 65 Mustang and RX-7!
Even the 1700 mile CA, NV, ID, OR, CA trip was fun, and incredibly comfortable.

Have just recently purchased a MR2 GT (Nov1993) and to-date have no regrets.
The only niggle with the car ia an annoying creaking/rattle from the dash facia passenger side (when on the move). I would be extremely grateful to know how to cure this.

i would just like to say that since i "inherited" my MR2 from my brother, it's been nothing but trouble. but i love it!! i purchased an engine from japan with the factory 10.5:1 compression which came with a small port intake "gts" 4ag head. my future plans include a complete build up from AED in corona, ca. i expect to hit 180 mph range soon naturally aspirated. i currently run a stock 4ag with a pair of weber 40dcoe's and the fastest speed i've hit is 145 mph. i have purchased bigger carbs which will go into the engine being built. wish me luck.

Definitely a car from automobile heaven. My ride-on-a-rail mistress is 12 years old and everything on it works. Minted in Jan. 1985, she could have been the first off the line. No complaints. A motorcycle on four wheels. The car is held in extremely high regard. Any clubs down south? would like to meet others. Share the delight.........

It is winter now and I am in complete withdrawl. I have 2 Mr's and I can't drive either one of them. (too much stupid snow). Thankyou for your wonderful web page, it helps keep me sane during these long 5-6 months! I try to drive my 88na Mr2 when the roads are cleared but this winter that has been tough. I keep my 95turbo named Daisy(she is solar yellow with black leather) locked up until all of the salt is gone. I go visit her a couple times during the winter just to sit in the car. Yes, I have a bad case of the Mister 2 bug! I wear yellow just to remind myself that summer is just around the corner. Again, thanks for the cool web page. You have know idea how great it is to turn on my computer and see my cars in all of their glory. Denise

To own a black MR2 is like posessing a part of paradise. Es gibt auf dem Markt kaum ein anderes Fahrzeug bei dem sich das Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis so überragend darstellt. MR2 bedeutet für mich: Größter Fahrspaß zu einem erschwinglichen Preis.

Hi All of U Mr2 fans.
I had a Mr2 Turbo before I crashed it.
I bought a Ford Escort Cosworth for the inssurance money.
The Mr 2 is way faster than the Ford both in acceleration and topspeed.
