Wed Feb 5 2:2:49 1997 Elvin wong I have a 1986 mk1 mr2. I have owned it for 5 years and I still have not run out of modifications to do. I have installed Koni sport shocks with TRD race springs. I also have Sus.Techniques sway bars front and rear. I also have custom metal bushings for the front strut bar along with TRD hard rubber race bushings all around. I have 1 degree of neg camber all around for that feeling of security. I know the MR2 is a great handling car stock, but you can't get enough of a good thing. There is a great dealer here in NJ, Sarizer motors,passaic park. Ask for gary, the owner, he actually races them, the whole shop does.

Wed Feb 5 3:11:21 1997 Ray K. Kunce Im in the process of buying a 1985 MR2, with 67k miles on it . I have nt driven a car that is quite so fast since I was alot younger.

Thu Feb 6 0:1:6 1997 Michael Adkins My buddy purchased a 1991 MR-2 Turbo with about 45K on it. This car was really cherry. I drove it once and I was hooked. Since purchased, he has installed chrome O.Z. Monte Carlo wheels and Sumitomo HTRZ tires. 15x7 with 205-50-15 up front and 16x8 with 225-45-16 in the rear. We also did the K&N filter thing and are now in search of an exhaust. I know none of you guys would dare part with your MR-2's, but if anyone has a 93 Turbo in black or yellow that they would like to get rid of, email mr2bmd@aol.com.

Thu Feb 6 9:26:32 1997 Pete Glasscock Bought a black '86 with 77k on it last week. I am very impressed by the speed of your site. It's quite quick from here in Cambridge, UK.

Thu Feb 6 12:5:31 1997 Dave J. Brewer Since the inception in 1985, I've always loved the looks, feel and power of the MR2. But not until two years ago did I finally get mine. Well the first one at least. Of course being in my teens didn't make it easy, but once past the first it wasn't too tough. Where there's a will there's a way. I'm now the proud owner of not one, not two, but three MR2s. I had to get all spiffy, ya know. I have the original (almost first year) 1986. Champaign/black lthr. Everything on it is absolutely factory, except the stereo system. The factory tape deck started easting tapes, so I replaced it (no problem consider well over 7 inches depth behind it) with a Pioneer DEH-P825 CD plyr/ chgr control, replaced the dash speakers with Pioneer 4Ts, and put in some Pioneer "Truck boxes" behind the seat. However I still haven't gotten around to the $250 speaker rig below the driver's seat. (OUCH!) The second is a 1989 SC model. (White/black) This one's been tinkered with here and there. A new exhaust, fllters, suspension, but nothin major (engine). But the third, a 1995 TTurbo (Black/Black), now that's my baby. Totally re-adjusted from the sunroof down, the thing's completely mod. You name it, it's been done (including the stereo) I was almost ready to put her into serious competition, but until someone's willing to replace it if I dent her (SPONSORS...HINT HINT) she's not goin' out if anyone else is on the traack. PERIOD!! Thanks Dave

Thu Feb 6 16:45:15 1997 Ashvin Babu I love my 88 S/C but am tired of girls calling it cute. It's a SPORTS car dammit. It's not supposed to be cute. Any ideas on making this car look meaner?

Thu Feb 6 18:6:24 1997 Dan If I had money tell ya what I'd do, I'd go downtown and buy an MR2...I'm crazy 'bout my MR2...a 93 teal honey of a car and I don't even miss my 66 Mustang...whoa

Thu Feb 6 19:0:26 1997 Matt Hoyt This is a great thing that you all have done for us owners of the MR2. I personaly would like to think you.

Thu Feb 6 19:48:16 1997 Larry Cornwell I purchased my '86 MR2 in August 1995. It is the most fun car since my '71 Porsche 911T (maybe better). Hope to do some upgrades and paintwork this spring, finances permitting. For you guys & gals looking for a service manual I am using the Haynes 1985 thru 1987 version part no. 1339.

Thu Feb 6 20:2:8 1997 Eivind Hagen I bought my MR2-Turbo this week... Whow!!! This car is amazing. 1991 Silver :-)

Sat Feb 8 11:49:17 1997 Chris I just bought my third MR2 88 supercharged. I also have an 86 both red. My first was an 86 black I bought it new and sold it 3 years later. Then I bought a Ferrari 308gts and five 930 turbo Porsches. The last one I kept and still have and will never sell. It's a RUF 930 about 550HP and about $234,000.00 top speed 230mph+ The only cars that impressed me and I have been collecting cars for 25 years are the ones I own now. And I love my both my MR2 as much if not more than my RUF 930.

Sat Feb 8 15:17:0 1997 John Harwood I owned J918 OPB a 1991 2litre GT model. It was a marvelous car to own and always turned heads. Although totally different in concept, I rated joint best car ever owned along with my old 2cv.

Sun Feb 9 10:21:34 1997 Michael Daisley I n a day when all sports cars look alike the MR2 has been able to keep its unique,classy personality. Keep up the good work!

Sun Feb 9 11:29:17 1997 Stan Krzyston I'd like to chat with anyone who drives their MKII MR2 at the limits of tire adhesion. I'd like to buy one of these cars, but I am concerned about trailing throttle oversteer. Thanks!

Sun Feb 9 15:5:58 1997 Allan Hathaway A great site but I think people with a common interest should share more. These cars are as you will all now unbelievable, I have never driven such an invigorating car. I have had mine for over a year and hope I will never have to part with it. I am trying to find manuals or specifications of MK1's "anyone help out there" ?

Mon Feb 10 0:54:6 1997 Marcum Brooks This is an impressive amount of information that you have compiled, keep it up! I've always been a big fan of the MR2 and was very sad to see Toyota stop making them. However, I did see an artist rendering of a car supposedly seen testing, called an MRJ. I can only hope Toyota decides not only to build it, but to bring it to the USA as well, I'd like to have one.

Mon Feb 10 6:33:7 1997 Clovis Wong It is a GREAT web page!!I ve got a lot of useful information here.

Mon Feb 10 17:20:9 1997 Russell Higgins I bought my first MR2 today 10th Feb 1997! It is a Sept. 1992 GT Coupe in white. Everything I expected and more besides!

Mon Feb 10 20:0:28 1997 Greg Hanna Thanx for a great site about a great car. It really makes me feel good about my '86 MR2 when I see all these other people who appreciate this true sports car, while my friends are crowing about their front-drive, american, 'sporty' cars.

Mon Feb 10 21:15:6 1997 chuck I just bought a 1988 MR2 supercharged. This is my first MR2 but not my first Toyota I had a 87 FX16 a while back. It is in need of some tlc. I am going to slowly bring it back to form.

Mon Feb 10 22:7:18 1997 Yan Tso A very good site

Mon Feb 10 22:19:23 1997 Belgium MORE MORE MORE I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS GREAT SITE Belgium Reader Antwerp

Tue Feb 11 7:27:5 1997 Claire Rainey Having placed an order for 2x New MR2 GT T-Bars & having had to wait initially for 1 week for the dealership (RRG Toyota - Salford Quays - Manchester) to call me back, then wait a further 1 week to arrange a test drive & then a further 2 weeks for a call back with a delivery date - and now after more than 15 telephone calls - all ignored - I find myself in a strange situation. I would dearly love an MR2 - but as the levels of customer service at this particular dealership clearly indicate that they have enough business at the moment and can afford to be choosy (I thought that this was a quiet time of year for car dealerships!!!!) I will be cancelling my order this afternoon. There have been no problems with arranging finance etc. - the probles lie purely with the dealers. As a loyal (or should I say previously loyal) Toyota customer (having owned 2 Celica's and a Supra) - I am disgusted. I will never again recommend Toyota or EVER purchase a Toyota again. Claire Rainey

Tue Feb 11 9:59:22 1997 rick mcconchie I have an '86 mr2 with 150,000 miles that I purchased 1 yaer ago. The car is so much fun to drive that this month I started the "BIG" task of rebuilding my TOY. The car already handles and moves great so I can't wait to upgrade on what ever I get my hands on from frame on up.ANY HELP OR COMENTS/IDEAS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Tue Feb 11 12:24:53 1997 Larry Miller I own a 1991 T-top MR 2. I enjoy the car as much now as when I purchased it in April 1991. I do most of the maintenance on the car, which luckly has been very little-other than oil changes, antifreeze, etc.

Tue Feb 11 13:43:33 1997 Phil Mather Great Website. Keep it up!

Tue Feb 11 15:23:4 1997 Alan Williams Has Anyone out there every seen or heard of a MR-2 engine swap ? a 1MZ-FE V-6 3.0 liter motor/trans our of a late model Camary should fit.

Wed Feb 12 0:31:48 1997 Ryan Bantz I own a white '87 MkI MR2. I helped it out as my first car. I have been driving it for two and a half years now. Last summer I undertook the project of rust removal. Wisconsin winters started to take their toll. I managed to remove the rust, rivet on new steel, aluminum bondo, repaint by the back wheels, and replace the rubber guards. I would like to add a supercharger or turbo to it, but I don't know what is possible and at what cost. I will just be turning over 89,000 miles on it this weekend. Other than the rust that is reappearing with the winter salt, it has been a GREAT car! Nice site!

Wed Feb 12 2:15:15 1997 Tyson Kelley My MR2 absolutely rules. I waited and waited for one to come through the dealer auction, and finally I found it. It is a 1991 model, bluish-green with T-Tops, manual 5-speed, alloys, and only 60,000 miles. It is gorgeous. I hate to tell you all that I picked it up for around $7,500, but this can be accomplished with sheer patience. Anyway, it is a fantastic car, and I plan to move to Arizona with it and drive it into the ground

Wed Feb 12 13:27:9 1997 Brian Just bought a red '87, will also have to see how I fare with the Orlando PD. Hey Michelle, wana race? ;-)

Thu Feb 13 22:49:52 1997 Andrew Stella I have an 87MR2 and I love your site.

Fri Feb 14 2:0:52 1997 mochey goldring I think it is a shame that toyota does not sell the MR2 anymore in the U.S. As a sports car enthusiast, and one who appreciates a fine handling car I miss th MR2. I own a 96' celica but mmy 87' MR2 is still miles in front of the Celica. I wait for the day Toyota begins to sell it here once again and the I would love to buy one.

Sat Feb 15 3:33:31 1997 Rick Goshert I drove my dark blue '88 off the lot with 90 miles on it ! I never want to give it up !!! BUT... Does anyone know how to convert the trunk into a rumble seat (kids) or put snow tracks on the rear (Northern Indiana) ??? I read with great empathy the guys web page on "Why Buy a Toyota". I had TERRIBLE service in Louisville for the first 9 months with ongoing breaks problems. They finally worked themselves out (it sure wasn't due to the dealer). Have had almost NO problems since then...Except the State Police !!!!

Sat Feb 15 3:59:8 1997 Dennis Degan Very good site, comprehensive, in depth material on everything MR2. I have frequently found useful information here about my car.

Sat Feb 15 14:25:14 1997 Matt I have a red 85 and a white 88 Supercharged. They are the best cars I've ever owned. Next, maybe a 95 turbo if I can find one!

Sat Feb 15 14:52:27 1997 Wade McGuffey Just bought an MR2 & was looking around.

Sun Feb 16 22:27:9 1997 Ed Pancoast Great site. Just bought an 86. Didn't even know what one was when I bought it. Check engine light comes on when crusing until speed changes. Seller said it was a trait. Any history? I'm keeping the car too much fun!!

Mon Feb 17 1:10:50 1997 Earl Wheaton I'm sorry to say that I'm a little disapointed with the folks that read and sign the guest book. I asked a question earlier this month about the reliability of the 91-95 MR2 and only got one response. sI still been some input as I haven't made my decision yet. I asked if anyone had the cracking problem with T-tops. Also if any promlems other than what was mentioned in FAQ about tire wear. I am still driving my 86 and it's still running great now that, with members help, I solved my O2 sensor problem. ( Got a New one) Thanks for those who responded to that. I do still need to get some feedback on the 91-95. All will be appreciated.

Mon Feb 17 4:9:1 1997 Simon Carrington New owner seeks advice on tyre pressures. My Yokohamas seem to work better above the normal 30/34 bar pressures. Otherwise the car seems somewhat unstable round bends at speed. HELP! What pressure should I have? ALSO, how can I get my MR2 onto a race track in the UK?

Mon Feb 17 23:44:49 1997 Phil Warnell I race a '85 Mr2 at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Nova Scotia with only suspension mods. It has 135,000 original km. We never even checked the valves,just changed the oil twice a summer (which are short up here). It goes like hell and handles great,but there is always room for improvement. We are always looking for ways to make it go faster without spending scades of cash.

Tue Feb 18 23:11:47 1997 Jeff Rendl Well... personally, I was both happy and sad to find this site. I'm glad that it was site devoted to the best car rather than some new type of shoe polish or something. That was nice. But, I was looking for a domain name for myself, I thought I might have found one, but it is already taken. :( Oh well. Thanks, I liked your site anyways for what it's worth. -Jeff

Wed Feb 19 0:26:28 1997 Hadi I'm looking for an MkII turbo. However I heard that there is a problem with almost all turbos; the turbo lags. Is that true?? Does that mean that the car's acceleration is like 7-8 seconds instead of 5.9 secs??? Help!

Wed Feb 19 4:6:22 1997 Chris Mulvena Just bought a 1990 Turbo and bumped into your web site. This is great and I'll be back for more info after i've been for another drive. I haven't stopped smiling yet.

Wed Feb 19 12:14:55 1997 Jerry Cuderman Great site! I am a 1st generation MR2 owner (1987.)

Wed Feb 19 22:11:32 1997 Shawn Mack I'm on my second MR2. My first an 85 NA drove it 'till it died! Now I have a 93 NA with 24K miles, but I want to make this into a turbo. Can this be done without buying a new car? How? I am also interested in putting fog lights on my baby. Went to the lighting part of this page anyone have experience with the Hella covers?

Thu Feb 20 4:37:13 1997 Richard Parry HAHAHAHA! It's finally mine! After 18 months of searching, I now own the perfect MR2 turbo. And the purchase was made largely by the knowledge this site was able to provide. Keep it up Geoff! I'm stoked, no one will see me for weeks, I'm going to sleep in my car...

Thu Feb 20 7:8:55 1997 Matt Kepner Great site!

Fri Feb 21 12:22:28 1997 Rick Bohn This web site is great for MR2 owners, such as myself, but it was extremely slow yesterday, 2/20/97 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. I couldn't even get to this page. It's much better now (2/21, 12:20pm). AOL is not the only one suffering from traffic on the web.

Fri Feb 21 14:45:43 1997 Gerald Ross I have a few questions I was hoping that someone could help me out with. Regarding the second gear syncro links ( 91 mr2 turbo) If you know anything about this please contact me . Gerald Ross e-mail = ross0015@algonquinc.on.ca thanks,

Fri Feb 21 15:15:2 1997 Brooks M. Kranich I became a proud owner of an 85 MR2 in November. I have been visiting this page since last year, as the MR2 is the best car in the world and I wante to get as much info as possible. This page is great.

Fri Feb 21 15:16:43 1997 Bill Gaston I have visited several times,and find something new each time,however I have never seen any info on the bird emblem on the front of the MR-2. Is it a thunderbird,firebird,or what????? Does anyone have any answers????

Fri Feb 21 16:49:16 1997 Hadi INSURANCE. I was wondering, can we fool an insurrance company by telling them we have a normal MkII instead of a turbo, since the only visual difference is a 2nd muffler (and hopfully the insurrance doesn't know about it....)? Also, how much around are you guys paying for insurrance? Is there tricks to make it real low?

Fri Feb 21 21:19:47 1997 Joe Shutte I just bought a 1988 Mr2 with 82,000 miles and so far I like it a lot, but it has just been two days. I really like the way it runs on the highway. Also this is been a very informative website, thanks for the help.

Pinging on 89 aOctane (midgrade fuel), anybody resolve this with new platinum plugs? car is non-turbo, 16,000 miles, California smog equipped....driven like the fun machine it is.

Sat Feb 22 23:8:31 1997 GABRIEL PELUSOJR I AM THE OWNER OF A 1991 MR2 TURBO. I WOULD LIKE ANY ADVICE ON TURBO REPLACEMENT. (BEST AFTERMARKET PACKAGES, EXPERIENCES ECT.)

Sun Feb 23 0:35:37 1997 Bill "Bundeskanzler" Brandt Had a black '86; drove it for 80,000 miles - then got a MB (used) - missed my '86 so much I got another. What can I say about the MR2? It's the only car I've ever had that I've never tired of of "gotten used" to (bad sentence I know). it is a car with a personality...

Sun Feb 23 4:41:28 1997 Osvaldo Aveiro This is my second MR2. it is 1987 automatic 77.000 miles the most beatifull red car in Perth Amboy (New jersey). The first was a 1985 color silver, manual, with 135.000 miles one bad day a lady run over a stop sign and hit me in the back side, insurance gave me some money and now I have this one. I just love this car. MR2s for ever, Ozzy

Sun Feb 23 20:42:40 1997 Alex Axel Andrade I�m looking for a 87-89 MKI With T-Top, or a 91 MKII also with T-top roof. No Supercharged or Turbos. Have one for sale? Please e-mail me ASAP. Thanks for this great site!! Keep on the good job guys!

Sun Feb 23 22:7:59 1997 Ben I'm just considering buying an '87 MR2 with T-tops (but no supercharger, unfortunately). I love these cars and I'm dying to get myself into one.

Sun Feb 23 22:10:56 1997 Glenn My wife owns a 1990 MR2 G-Limited (Mk II) in metallic green - something different to the usual red! This car is auto (and still quick), has ABS and targa tops. Had several problems with this car (Jap import), but have sorted most out. Replaced standard shocks with Bilstein gas (calibrated), replaced springs (20% stiffer for NZ roads) and finally got rid of infuriating (and damaging) pinking by installing a Fuelstar fuel catalyst. We love this car, and are now looking for a late-94 to '96 model as a stable mate. Hey Andy (Guest Book, Sat Feb 15, 1997) - drop me line to discuss your MR2 questions if you like. Got to know these darlings very well while seeking out parts sources for the mods! glennmrobertson@unn.unisys.com

Tue Feb 25 20:41:13 1997 Jeff Allen This is the best site on the www. Glad I ran into it. Had a black '86 and a aqua marine pearl '91 turbo. The best car ever built is the second generation. Went back to school in 1993,had to sell the love of my life. Five quarters left and the first thing i'm going to do is look for a '95 turbo in black or red.

Tue Feb 25 20:46:31 1997 marleen mclennan The more I drive this car the better I feel. It puts me in another world.

Wed Feb 26 21:55:9 1997 Bill Shives My wife and I have owned 3 MR2s since 1985. We currently have a 1991 and are trying to decide if we want to keep it or sell and get a 1994 or 1995. It really is a shame that Toyota quit importing the 2 to North America. Your site is a great wealth of information!

Thu Feb 27 8:14:29 1997 Chin Swee Hoe Toyota cars are of very good built quality. But recent models are quite boring interm of looks.

Thu Feb 27 9:2:45 1997 Simon Carrington I own a gorgeous black late '94 - 29k miles. Although I have the latest version of the Mk2 (not available in the US, I believe??), I cannot buy a Turbo, can I??? But then, perhaps that is just as well given the difference in fuel prices between the Uk and the US!

Thu Feb 27 11:9:22 1997 JOHN WALDECK COOL STUFF - need a fun commuter car when we move from Charlotte, NC back to Portland, OR. had a 97 F-150 but traded for a conversion van. am considering a 280zx or an older mr-2. Kinda leaning now toward the mr-2. Want to spend < 3000...good job on the page

Thu Feb 27 20:19:16 1997 Ben Gulley Does anyone own an older supercharged version? I'm looking at a 88 model with 85XXX miles and a intercooled supercharger. What I am wondering is if the MR2's suffer from Turbo burnout like most other makes at about 90XXX. This thing really rocks. I've driven a lot of other stock sprts cars and was suprisedat the room and comfort of such a small car.

Thu Feb 27 22:40:38 1997 b hale 1985 MkI Mr2-Pristine Condition, 80K Original Owner Miles. HKS Flywheel, exhaust, Sparco Wheels, Intrax springs W/ Tokico Illuminas. Sony CDXC-910, 2 XM2100G Sony Amps,Boston Acoustics Pro Series Speakers, etc. Red, of course! For Sale? NEVER!

Thu Feb 27 22:54:17 1997 Leor Zolman Had an '85 for about a year; its engine seemed rather tired (even though the car *supposedly* had only 30+K miles on it...) so I sold it two years ago and managed to find a 91 Turbo for sale a few miles down the street. It took a month for the owner to come up with a title, but it was worth the wait. I love this thing. I'm excited to find all the aftermarket engine beef-up opportunities via this page. I'm hoping I can get equipment to make a noticeable difference in power (and, esp., low-end torque) via some of this equipment. any suggestions on the "best" way to spend, oh, say $500 to improve engine performance would be appreciated! later, -leor

Fri Feb 28 0:33:34 1997 Brian Jones Love these MR2's - one of the most under-rated sports cars around. Can anyone recommend a good machine shop to rebuild MR2 Engines? Or does anyone know where I can purchase a new (ie not rebuilt) 4AGEZ Engine other than the Toyota dealer?

Fri Feb 28 5:31:11 1997 Richard Wait Brilliant! a Web site devoted to the best car in the world.

Fri Feb 28 17:58:59 1997 David I need help. If you have, or know someone who has a turbo for a '91, I need a sketch/outline of the exhaust end that includes the bolt locations for the downpipe. I need a new downpipe, as the existing one is cracked. Let me know if you can help.

Fri Feb 28 18:41:57 1997 NICK CHAMBERS I'M A NEW OWNER OF AN F-REG. MR2 AND THE NEW OWNER OF A PC, SO I'VE GOT LOADS OF DEBT NOW. MY MR2'S IN REAL GOOD NICK EXCEPT FOR SOME RUST UNDER A REAR WHEEL-ARCH SO I WANT TO PAMPER IT. TO THIS END THIS SITE SHOULD BE EXCELLENT. I'LL BE LOOKING TO MAKE A LOT OF USE OF IT OVER THE COMING MONTHS AND WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO WHOEVER IT IS THAT DOES ALL THE WORK TO KEEP THIS GOING. BY THE WAY I THINK THE CAR IS BRILLIANT, BETTER THAN THE HOT HATCH I HAD, THOUGH I DO FIND THAT THE REAR END DOES SLIDE OUT EASILY IN THE WET. STILL, I'M SURE I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. THANKS AGAIN, NICK CHAMBERS. P.S. I'M QUITE WILLING TO EXCHANGE INFO. OR EVEN MEET ANY OTHER OWNERS OUT THERE WHO LIVE IN THE BRIGHTON AREA. ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN ANY OWNERS' CLUBS LOCALLY.
