West Covina/Diamond Bar/Rowland Heights/El MONTE/MONTEREY PARK etc

Mon Sep 1 9:11:3 1997 Gordon Shawn: Just looking at your before pictures of the '91 turbo. I was wondering, in the picture your car doesn't appear to have directional tyres (tires if you prefer). Did the US model not come standard with Bridgestone RE71 directionals?? If not you should give them a try. They work brilliantly with the MR2. I've tried 6 different types (including Pirelli directionals which I had removed after 1 day) and there is no comparison. The bridgestones are perfect.

Mon Sep 1 13:55:35 1997 Stan. Gray I have one. If you do you need no comment from me!!

Mon Sep 1 14:56:8 1997 michael how long is a 91 turboin feet? (i need a cover)

Mon Sep 1 23:8:37 1997 Ron Brown A new owner of a mint 1986 MR2. Runs and looks like it just came out of the show room . Am interested in installing a performance muffler. Open to any assistance in this area.

Tue Sep 2 2:42:16 1997 Mike I love MR2's! I don't currently possess one, but one day.

Tue Sep 2 4:14:51 1997 Robert If anyone knows of a New Zealand MR2 club can yah please give me some mail? :) Tah muchly!

Tue Sep 2 10:45:33 1997 Frank I Own A 89 Toyoda Mr2 and i love it to death, its just too bad that they don't sell them any more in the u.s.. If they did I would Love to Buy a brand new one because of the reliability they have an very low maintence, I have never had any promblems with my car and thats why i would love to own a new one.

Tue Sep 2 11:14:47 1997 Gregg THIS IS A TECHNICAL QUESTION. I own a turbo '93. I want to do some suspension changes to modify the handling. Do any of you have experience with (1) lowering springs standard vs progressive rate (2) torsion bar changes eg. Suspension Techniques (3) and adjustable shocks. I may want to autocross the car so any of you racers or technical experts out there with any helpful info, I would appreciate it.

Tue Sep 2 14:5:31 1997 Brian Hey Geoff, great website! Thanx. Just one thought though. I don't understand programming and URL's and stuff like that so what I'm about to suggest might be real time consuming and of no interest to you, but..... check out http://www.off-road.com/4x4web/jeep/answerman/ That site is set up in a Q&A format so that people can post specific questions and others can post answers "tied" directly to that question. I know it's been of tremendous help to me in restoring my Jeep.

Wed Sep 3 9:52:11 1997 Shawn Thanks for "taking out the trash", Geoff..... Question: Anybody out there ever use the Yokohama A008's

Wed Sep 3 9:58:48 1997 Corona After selling my MR2 about two months ago for reasons of a growing family, I've just received last week the new price list of Toyota for Switzerland, and at the USD price of 38,000, I have just ordered a bran spanking new MR2, white, T.Top, AC and all the extras. The wife can keep the Jeep, I'm back to having fun.

Wed Sep 3 9:59:13 1997 Lucien Dubé Very interesting site I personnaly would like some prices. Thank's for all your good work.

Wed Sep 3 9:59:17 1997 Mike R. Thanks for removing Rick's lewd remarks. Are there any laws regarding electronic harassment over the internet? A person that is posting such obnoxious and profane comments should be told with some threat of legal reprise to cease and desist. I hope that you are successful in blocking any further comments that he might make. He was ruining the comraderie and fun that this web site enjoys. Keep up the good work!

Wed Sep 3 10:6:11 1997 Lucien Dubé I'm very happy to see an MR2 site. If somme one knows of an MR2 club in the province of Quebec (Canada) leave me a note. I would also be very interested if somme one knows of any triks to keep your leater soft and sparkling any special maintenace tips. Thank's in advence to all for your responses.

Wed Sep 3 12:33:18 1997 David McAfee QUESTION: Will an engine from a 1987 supercharged version go into a 1985 normally aspirated version? If so, what adjustments will need to be made, and what extra equipment will need to be added? Same question applies to a turbocharged engine from a 90 or newer model....can it be done? It seems that the previous owners of the car were not quite as....er...kind, to my car as I am, and there is a trace amount of smoke coming from the exaust during warm up, rather than replace the valves, or (gasp) get the rings replaced, I have decided to replace the whole engine, finding one won't be a problem, but I was wondering how much more performance I could get out of my already potent little sports car....any suggestions or related info would be greatly appreciated....thank you

Wed Sep 3 12:38:4 1997 David McAfee ...before anyone says anything, I am aware that I made an error in my last post, specifically, that the supercharged engine was not available in 1987, but rather 1988...my apologies....

Wed Sep 3 12:42:19 1997 Bill Anderson I own a '91 MR2T and take every opportunity to drive it as fast as I can. I am interested in upgrading and increasing Hp over the next couple of years and would eventually like to approach the 500 Hp limit I've heard rumors about. Please direct any advice or comments to my email address.

Wed Sep 3 15:40:19 1997 Thomas Grutzka (ics1F.N.srv.t-online.de) I`m from germany and I`ve bought a 92 Toyota MR2 a few weeks ago. This is the first time I visit this page and I`m very interested, what MR2-stuff I´ll find ! Bye Thomas

Wed Sep 3 16:31:57 1997 ben (issfw.palomar.edu) i just purchased a mint condition 93 turbo mr2, with all the trimmings, i love r2's and whould appreciate hearing from other mr2 owners. thanks

Wed Sep 3 20:47:27 1997 GEORGE (internotes.procom.com) I HAVE A 88 SUPER CHARGED 5 SPEED AND RUNS GREAT COULDE NOT BE ANY MORE HAPPY BUT I AM LOOKING AT ADDING MORE HORSEPOWER TO IT IF ANY HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Thu Sep 4 0:52:49 1997 Michael Talassazan (res-0187.usc.edu) I'm dying to find the clear turn signals for my MR2, I neveer imagined there would be so many sites for our car , it's really alot of fun .

Thu Sep 4 13:05:20 1997 Edd (ppp1066.stk.inreach.net) Bill, take a look a Sport Compact Car Magazine's: Project MR2. Its pushing 426 HP at the flywheel and 336 HP at the tires. All this produced by a Turbonetics turbo, Bell intercooler, RC large throttle body, HKS electronics, HKS intake, HKS exhaust and Cartech FMU (whew!!) And whats surprising is, they haven't opened up the engine, yet, at least I think. Anyways keep an eye out for updates on Poject MR2 because they're not done yet.

Thu Sep 4 13:13:25 1997 Edd (ppp1066.stk.inreach.net) Alright this is a technical question. My '91 MR2 Turbo is pushing 80K Miles and I know that upgrading an engine, that old, to over 300 HP just might not be safe. Anyways I'm wondering would rebuilding/refurbishing the engine make it suitable for upgrading??

Thu Sep 4 15:56:43 1997 Randy Ellis (line8073.ras.ilstu.edu) I'm looking for any MR2 clubs to join possibly located in Illinois.

Thu Sep 4 17:17:19 1997 armando (casa2.dstu.indiana.edu) I own an '86 (MkI) light blue Mister 2. It's got a custom exhaust with a 5"EXHAUST TIP!!!(Thanks to HMI Electronics, Miami,Fl.). It's running split fire plugs, and is getting ready for a new air intake, probably HKS. I Love My Mr2. "WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE?" Except for maybe the killer stereo and alarm system its got!

Fri Sep 5 00:29:16 1997 Ramie Horner (anxp69.iw.centuryinter.net) ok , i dont own an MR2 (yet). but i do own a 91 TOYOTA 4x4 truck.I couldnt wait to for the MR2 to add performance so thanks to yall i installed today a 2 1/4 inch pipe from the cat to a 5' tip i love the sound. I plan own open up the intake with an K@N air filter, throttle body and comp chip. something else i just thought of TOYOTA made a turbo pickup ummm a turbo 4x4 who knows.

Fri Sep 5 05:27:58 1997 James Butts (dlp14.piqua.eri.net) I love my MR-2. Only way I'd give it up would be for another Toyota. The Supra Turbo.

Fri Sep 5 09:23:17 1997 Jeff (192.197.192.166) This is one of the greatest MR2 web sites around. Lots of good info. I own a '86 black and just think its really nifty. I love to drive it. Check out my MR2 page at http://www.angelfire.com/ga/mk1mr2/index.html

Fri Sep 5 13:03:07 1997 Brion VanDenBogaert (ww-tc64.proxy.aol.com) I own a red 91 MR2 t-tops non-turbo and I love it. I'm 18 this is my first car and I think I'll have this car for as long as I live.

Fri Sep 5 13:05:16 1997 Chris Lane (user-2k7i6l6.dialup.mindspring.com) Love your site! I don't own an MR2 yet, but soon I will. I'd like to see more about car audio in MR2's if possible.

Fri Sep 5 13:09:35 1997 Doug (83.chicago-035.il.dial-access.att.net) Last year I installed a K&N filtercharger on my 91 turbo MR2.This is the large cone shaped filter that replaces the airbox. This week I took it off to clean it out again, and I decided to take the intake piping off down to the turbo to check for dirt or leaks. There was a large amount of grit and dirt inside of the piping and the mass air sensor. I was never really impressed with the performance gains, in fact the only gain was a lot of noise, but I left it on because the add leads you to believe that it filters better than the stock setup (and I had already wasted $150.00). Obviously this isn't true, because there was no dirt inside the intake when I installed the K&N, and I cleaned and reoiled the filter several times over the last year. My advice to anyone that feels they must replace the factory airfilter is DON'T!!! Not if you like your car. With the amount of dirt that I found inside of mine, I am scared to think about the premature engine wear that has already happened. And you wont see a gain in power anyway, unless you also turn up the boost. So don't waste your money on K&N.

Fri Sep 5 15:27:45 1997 mark truehart (ww-tz02.proxy.aol.com) looking for a mr2 mki model.

Fri Sep 5 21:03:24 1997 Jason Dusting (melona1.cns.hp.com) Great web site. I have just bought an MR2 and this site has helped me enormously. Keep up the good work!!!

Fri Sep 5 23:30:13 1997 ronnie II and amy (hsh13-86.flash.net) My name is Amy and my boyfriend Ronnie drives a black 92 MR2 and it rides great! Especially when he installed aa new racing clutch in it--he really loves to scratch 2nd gear! I, myself, have fallen in love with the Mr2's smoothness. Other facts on his ride- 17" chromed Gerwalt mesh wheels, ffreaky illumination in the wheels, the usual filter and exhaust with plans of the addition of an intercooler and such. Anything else you goota ask him, I'm just along for the ride!

Sat Sep 6 01:51:51 1997 JOE (pm4-12.gdi.net) 88 SUPERCHARGED!! 85k 5SPD MINTMINTMINT! purchased 9/97...$4800 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sat Sep 6 17:46:52 1997 Ron (ww-tl02.proxy.aol.com) In response to the recent revival of the MR2 vs Tupperware thing, I thought I would share an experience. A friend of mine suffers through life with an 86 4cyl Tupperware and I've screwed around with him from on occasion just for fun. Not with my MR2, though...that would be a pointless waste of Ultra94. I ran him with my "winter" car, an '84 EXP! (don't laugh, it was cheap, it's in good shape, it's great in the snow, and unlike the piece of GM tupperware I'm comparing it to, it suprisingly does'nt break much) Now, as all of you should know, the EXP was no performance car....It's an Escort with a funny-looking front end and no back seat. Even the pathetic drivetrain is the same except for a tubular exhaust "header?" (well, it is a tri-y...) and slightly different carb calibration...oooh, aaah! This beater gasbox against an alleged "sports car". The results: I wasted him...time after time. As he played with shift points and launching techniques, I (much to his dismay) and my poor, old EXP just kept chalking up the unexiteing victories (with a little puff of smoke at high RPM's, just for good measure). Every now and then, some kid in a Tupperware will pull up to my MK1 at a light and attempt to taunt me to a contest, but all I can do is sit there and laugh at the thought of the EXP kicking their ass. As for the big, bad V6 cars...I have an 87 Shadow ES (yeah it's turbo, but it's still a slug) that takes care of them with greater ease than the EXP takes 4cyl's. All this while the MR2 rests in the garage waiting for more suitable competition. And, ALL Tupperware owners: stay away from Neons (Hi!)...test figures show you're outgunned again! HA HA HA:-) & BTW, top speed on 4cyl Tupperwares is 103mph (per "Road &Track":Nov,84).

Sat Sep 6 21:44:46 1997 Jim (ww-tq03.proxy.aol.com) I've loved the site since I bought my '91 black beauty, but must now sell it. 50,000 miles, T-roof, low-mileage RE-71 tires, garaged, excellent condition! (N. California) E-mail to WFCJim@AOL.com

Sun Sep 7 02:57:43 1997 Bryan J Clements (col-as4s61.erols.com) How can American buyers get the MR2 back in show rooms in the United States?

Sun Sep 7 14:29:48 1997 Allen Brand (pppc21-30.htcomp.net) Have you ever seen a '93 MR2 beat the side-skirts off a Ferrari F355? I have...gods what a rush! I own an '86...but when I grow up, I want a '93! Turbocharged, even!

Mon Sep 8 01:19:32 1997 Anthony Freese (dns.ldd.net) I have a 88 MR2 and am getting ready to sell it and buy me a 91. MR2's are the best!!

Mon Sep 8 20:06:31 1997 Mike Foster (ts001d06.chi-il.concentric.net) Hey Randy E. Hey Whats up everybody! Mr2's kick ass! Had a '91 turbo, sold it and then pulled my hair out. Now I'm looking to buy another one. Anyone want to sell me thier '94 or'95 turbo?! I need another Mr2! I'm just not over it yet. Over what? Oh just watching Mr. mustang GT and Mr. z28(everyone and thier mother has one of those sorry cars)rip through thier gear box thinking they can take this mysterious mid-engine sportscar. Sorry guys try again next time...ha ha ha. Mr2's are awsome Mr2's should still be sold here! Very cool site! Don't forget to keep the classified's updated for all of us who are looking to buy!

Tue Sep 9 18:58:31 1997 Suzy (ww-tp04.proxy.aol.com) interested in getting a bra for my 1986 toyota MR2

Tue Sep 9 23:57:53 1997 Charlie (brenda.idirect.com) I had an MR2 for about 3 months until 2 weeks ago until it caught fire while I was driving it ( I recently had the motor replaced because the original blew a head gasket). There really is nothing left of the back. Despite all the problems I still think it's one of the best cars I've ever driven. I would buy another one but it's so hard to find one that hasn't been abused - I think alot of you will agree with that. That's probably the reason for mine going up like it did. I'm assuming it was a fuel leak, but can't prove anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Greeting from Copenhagen, Denmark

Wed Sep 10 10:31:03 1997 Dwayne W. Price (nc.navcanada.ca) Just purchased a 1986 MR2, this is my 18th Toyota. I am very impressed with this vehicle. Absolutely no rust and only 125,000 km on it. As soon as I picked it up I took it in for a new timing belt, front struts, brakes, platinum plugs, oils etc. I am very interested in finding out what after market products are available in Canada for this model year. Also if anyone knows where I can pickup a owners manual for an 86 MR2 please let me know. I purchased the service manual from Canadian Tire; $14.00, not bad. Dwayne

Wed Sep 10 13:38:40 1997 Steve Goldfarb (ww-ti52.proxy.aol.com) I own a 1986 MR2 which I purchased new in Virginia. It currently has 127K miles and a new/different engine (71K) after the original dropped a valve. I now live in NJ and am restoring the MR2. It has been a wonderful, fun vehicle and has been "tough as nails."

Wed Sep 10 15:41:26 1997 Ian Gopez (rm118-67.lib.fsu.edu) I am looking for the back issue of Sport Compact Car that was a tribute to MR2's. I am trying to order it so I need the exact month and year. Any help would be appreciated. I also can be reached at email kingiago@hotmail.com Thanks

Fri Sep 12 14:10:01 1997 Lance DiBitetto (182.atlanta-35.ga.dial-access.att.net) I learned to appreciate all things Toyota when I worked for Amity Toyota on Long Island and I fell in love with both the mkI and mkII more than I could ever imagine, shame on Toyota for discontinuing this superb automobile in North America.

Fri Sep 12 15:28:25 1997 Michael Yu (Sta48.Fullerton.EDU) I need to find a service technician that I can trust to work on my car. If anyone knows of a mechanic in the Los Angeles/Orange area, please let me know.

Fri Sep 12 17:28:19 1997 John Barnitz (phi-pa15-08.ix.netcom.com) Seems like a great way to get info. I have a 94 turbo and will want to find out if performance chips work. Will look here.

Fri Sep 12 19:22:49 1997 Fred Vachss (desotof.rdyne.bna.boeing.com) Well, I just went and did it. '91 NA 52K miles, dark green and mine... as of two hours ago. By the way, I looked for a mk1SC for some time, but found that almost all of them were pretty beat up or else exorbitantly priced. The mk2NA is in quite good shape, fast enough for me and should (knock wood) provide reliable fun for years. Wish me luck.

Sat Sep 13 00:25:25 1997 John Peacock (tcipm7-21.totcon.com) Bought a 1988 MR2 about a month ago for $4000 with T-tops and all power, interior excellent exterior good runs excelent, cold A/C. Nice car but too slow for me I have a highly modified Triumph TR8 and it is a lot faster and suprisingly enough handles better with the Koni suspension. I need to find a loving home for the MR2. I just put on new 14" mags, and would like to atleast recoup some of my loss. Anyone interested please email me I need the money so Offers will be welcome. pearesto@totcon.com

Sat Sep 13 04:24:16 1997 Michael A. Weber (ww-tp06.proxy.aol.com) In June of 1997 I purchased my first MR2. Shortly afterwards I felt I was familiar enough with the car to take it to a Northern California Car Club Meeting held on McClellan AFB. I am proud to say the my STOCK MR2, (No turbo, smaller than stock steet tires no less) was able to hang in there with the best of them.. The course was laid out like an SCCA Solo race, just you and a clock. by the end of the day my best time taking into account he "PAX" index for SCCA Solo racing, I ended with a 45 second best lap... The time of the day was a 40 second lap... Ohh yea... My 91 MR2 is also an AUTOMATIC... Beggars can't be choosers.... I found it used for a steal!!! Feel free to send me mail...

Sun Sep 14 13:02:45 1997 Cherie Schmidt (ppp-62.apex.net) I am an MR2 granny determined to keep my son's 85 5 speed MR2 in good condition while he is out of the country. For someone who does not normally drive anything but an automatic, this is an experience!! I will be checking in to this site once in a while for inspiration as a MR2 "owner".

Sun Sep 14 18:07:18 1997 Rich Thompson (host-207-53-4-161.atl.bellsouth.net) I just purchased a 1985 MR2 used. The price was awsome and I couldn't pass it up. It looks exactly like the '85 i owned in 1989 when i totaled it. Its great to be back.

Sun Sep 14 19:29:18 1997 Jake (stl-wa8-03.ix.netcom.com) The MR2 deserves a website as high quality as this one is. Great job to whoever puts this together. I love the Mr2 and you all are awesome for loving it as well. It is a car that should have never left North America. It's beautiful looks combined with INCREDIBLE handling at a price that wasn't $60 or $70K made this car very special. I have a metallic green '91 MR2 non turbo and am looking for a '94 or '95 turbo. I hope to own one someday. Great site.. thank you.

It really gave me some great info and in the end helped me get the car I have only dreamed of a 92' MKII . To me nothing short of a Ferrari 355ts even holds a candle to this car . In short , if your thinking about getting a MR2 ....DO IT!!!!!!!

Mon Sep 15 10:36:06 1997 Danny (du175-3.ppp.algonet.se) Hi I wonder if the 95 rear lights fits the 92 model ?? Has anyone here changed them.Problems ?? Thanx for an answer !

Mon Sep 15 13:00:49 1997 Dave (ww-tk01.proxy.aol.com) Hey MR2 lovers, I just recently lowered my 91 one and a half inches. I wasn't expecting too much difference in handling because it already handled very well. Only got one thing to say. DO IT !! It is the best $200 I spent on my car so far. Also, people think I am weird because every time I drive I have this big ass grin on my face. Anybody else have the same problem?

Mon Sep 15 17:05:18 1997 Justin Blackwell (lynx1147.lynx.bc.ca) WARNING!!!While washing my car a week ago,I sprayed the hose directly into the vents above the engine and the water shot directly into my spark plugs filling them with an inch of water.I don't think that I sprayed much water into it but I can't remember.Anyway I thought that I would just warn you fellow MR2 owners.

Tue Sep 16 06:55:05 1997 Frank Thomsen (194.248.226.33) I Love It!!!!

Tue Sep 16 08:25:01 1997 Stefan Welz (195.212.88.98) I discovered the site this morning and now I spent hours clicking my way through it. Really great work that you put together. I sent my registration as a '91 MkII MR2 owner straight away.

Tue Sep 16 16:15:15 1997 Gerard (PSE01.PIOS.COM) I have a '91 Mr2 Turbo with minor mods, HKS exhaust, HKS Power Flow, 16" Konsei wheels, and Intrax springs. I need advice on what the next step should be: do i get a HKS Twin Power Pack, or should I get an EVC, or should I go with the VPC (oh ya..do I still need a FCD if I get the VPC? In the HKS catalog it says that I don't but in the SCC project MR2 they use both. What gives?). Or instead of all EVC should I just get a new turbo from Aerodyne or Turbonetics and have the external wastegate set for higher psi ( like 15 psi ), would I still need an EVC? HEEELLPP me with some good advice, I've been hearing and reading to many mods stories and I need to choose one for my rocket!

Tue Sep 16 20:14:02 1997 Robin Wagner (alps-98.pinn.net) Just purchased a 1991 MR2. Thought I would look around and see what was on the net.

PS. This web site is very informative and the pics are very nice, makes me wanna invest in one of these babies!

Wed Sep 17 02:38:22 1997 Matt (ip174.msp.primenet.com) What I have is a Jan 85 MR2 With only 5700 miles on it. It has been crashed in the rear end, and has been sitting since July of 86. My question is: Is this a rare car and if not where can I get after market Rear body parts for it? Toyota Wants $499 For each of the rear fenders. Considering I only paid $500 for the car I would like to go after market (unless its some rare model). The website is great...

Wed Sep 17 15:27:47 1997 J R Dohr (ww-td63.proxy.aol.com) Just purchased an 86 MR2. Quite surprised to find a dedicated web site. Thanks for the info.

Wed Sep 17 16:00:17 1997 Karen A. Volk (pm3-13.netway.ab.ca) Oh my god! I can't believe I forgot to mention how great my little tonka toy is!!!!! (Don't laugh, a friend thought of it several years ago and it's stuck). I have a mental list of friends who will buy my toy if I ever tire of it. Ha Ha Ha. Not anytime soon. My Dad liked mine so much that when the MK2 was developed he bought one. He only kept if for a year. He still likes my MK1 better. Great to see so many fans of the MR2. To drive one is to understand. Recently, some dork "accidentally" dragged a key or other sharp object (local body shop confirmed suspicion) along my passenger side door panel, intake vent and rear panel. If I had caught the peon and tortured him/her I may not feel so bitter about it. Hopefully, in the spring I can bankroll a new paintjob - anyone got any suggestions for a great colour they've never seen on an MR2 but thought would be great?

Wed Sep 17 16:10:07 1997 chris egan (ppp1842.on.sympatico.ca) I am an MR2 worshipper looking to get my hands on my first "real" car. Give me a couple months and I'll have some pictures for you. I'm counting the days.

Wed Sep 17 19:57:13 1997 Reina Fragoso (sliphost61.ade.state.az.us) I never knew what a MR2 was until 4 months ago. I saw a 90' parked out on the lot, and thought it was real sharp looking. Today my friend brought his new MR2 over to my house, so I was very excited. But when I sat in the drivers seat, I started shaking. My friend is only 18. I just turned 15, I wonder how he is able to afford that. Cause next year when I turn 16, I don't want to drive a piece of junk. I wanna ride in style. All I have to do from now till then is to persuade my parents into buying me one.

Thu Sep 18 00:13:09 1997 Danny (du232-3.ppp.algonet.se) Anyone knows if the 96 rear lights fits the 92 model ??

Thu Sep 18 00:14:36 1997 Harold (m17clinton.dave-world.net) I have a '91 non-turbo,t-top with 35,000 miles and is original right down to the tires. I have it strictly as a nice weather car, but on those nice days, it's absolutely to die for! Will have to sell it before long (building a house) and 'am devastated. In a way, I'm glad they quite making them, because they're way too nice for the average person to enjoy.

Thu Sep 18 13:47:55 1997 Terry Heick III (ncc-j5.it-ncc.louisville.edu) I've got a black 92 turbo, and browse MR2 sites looking for new product information (aftermarket performance), as well as aspects of 92 vs 93 handling characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.

Fri Sep 19 09:26:37 1997 Mark Teears (gauntlet-all.usiva.com) Is it possible to get a new MR2 equipped legally and shipped to the U.S. And, how much would this cost??? If this is too expensive or too much trouble... Where's the best place to find an MR2.. 1994 or newer in the U.S. at a reasonable price... Red w/ t-top (turbo not required) preferred... Thanks!!!

Fri Sep 19 11:15:14 1997 Gerard (PSE01.PIOS.COM) I have a '91 Turbo with blue interior. The problem I have is that my steering wheel has lost its color, it's turned a blackish,purple color.

Every time I stop at at an intersection some bozo with suped up car starts looking and revving his engine. I look at him, then my friend, then I rev. I see the green and I'm gone. This car is so wonderful. I love this car!!!!! I met the backend of a new Dodge Ram, but I'm in the process of fixing it. Can't wait for the premo condition again.

My MR2 has made me feel like I am 18, again. Would like to know if any MR2 clubs are located within range of Pittsfied, Ma., so I can learn more about the "pocket rocket" I have come to love.

Fri Sep 26 12:45:06 1997 Gerard (PSE01.PIOS.COM) Just finished reading the latest of SCC. They brought their 91' turbo to G-Force to have the computer uograded/tuned. They mention that the stock computer has a map in it for 14 psi and 16 psi as well as a fuel cut off disabler. Does this mean that if I have the cpu from my '91 turbo tuned to 14 psi that I don't need a Electronic Valve Controller or a Fuel Cut-Off Defenser. Let me know at: velceleang@pios.com

Fri Sep 26 12:51:51 1997 Gerard (PSE01.PIOS.COM) Attention JOE MARCHICA!!! How did you get 300hp for $500?? Please go into detail, this would be ideal for me...a '91 turbo owner on a budget. Please list the components you used to achieve this, also is this flywheel or wheel horsepower? Have you experienced any problems, such as the fuel cutting out, or leaks, blow by, anything? Email-velceleang@pios.com

Fri Sep 26 16:06:42 1997 ALAN WILIIAMS (198.49.31.101) I've looked in every car magazine and searched the web for info on engine swaps for the MR2 (MKI) or (MK11). Is their anyone out there who wants more power? has anyone looked at the powertrain in a late model CAMERY ? 3.0 litters QUAD CAMS, ALL ALUMINUIM HEADS, BLOCK, ETC. THEN WE COULD TURBO IT. Alot more power than stock unit and far more reliable than a motor than has $10,000 of parts in it and only lasts 10,000 miles or so. I know, I've spent a lot on HOP-UP parts and I'm sick of it. I want a BIG motor, then we'll turbo it. IF ANY ONE HAS INFO, PLEASE POST IT HERE or SOMEWHERE because I never seen any info anywhere . THANKS, ALAn

Fri Sep 26 17:11:52 1997 Matt (oak.nbsi.com) HEY JOE MARCHICA!!! What did you do to your 93-T to get 300 HP for under $500?

I was wondering if anyone else has chopped one of these cars, and if so, what were the long term results? I am having a professional race car fabricator do the chassis stiffening, and then, off with the top! I don't spend much time online, so a snail mail address is: Bill Peters 151 Waterbury Dr. Harvest, Alabama 35749 Any comments or info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sun Sep 28 19:01:01 1997 Ian Kerr (cabler103.cableregina.com) MR2's are the best thing that has ever happened to Toyota. Besides the Toyota Supra.

Sun Sep 28 23:22:54 1997 Matt Follett (ppp779.on.sympatico.ca) Hi, love it don't you?! Mine's a Black 91 Turbo, mostly stock, but it won't stay that way. Anyways "Drive Hard"

Mon Sep 29 09:59:00 1997 Shawn (emersonele-bh.emrsn.com) ALAN, according to a Toyota mechanic friend of mine, the 6-cylinder Camry motor will fit into our MR2's because the base camry has the exact same motor and transmission as the base (5SFE..non-turbo) MR2...so needless to say the V-6 will fit anywhere there is a 5SFE motor. BUT, although I've never checked, I am not sure the V6 camry comes with a 5-speed. I would love to have a V-6 in my MR2, Turbo lag ABSOLUTELY SUCKS and it just gets worse as you crank up the boost and add bigger turbos and pipes! Anyway, the stock V-6 could be tuned quite a bit even W/O the turbos, but a 6-8 psi system would be great.

Mon Sep 29 13:45:59 1997 Ian Gopez (rm215-3.dsl.fsu.edu) What's the best looking foglamp set for my '86 MkI? I am loyal to Catz but open to suggestions. Also, where can I get a set of clear corner lamps for my car? BTW, just reached 90K miles and still too sweeeeeeet! As for everyone else, buy Nitto tires, they're the best.

Mon Sep 29 16:58:33 1997 Mike Chou (F182-123.net.wisc.edu) Own a 93 NA and am interested in putting front brakes from a 93 Turbo. Anyone know the approximate cost? Also does anyone have the TRD strut-tower braces? And if so, are they welded together or bolted together? Also does anyone have the camber set to more than it's usual neg. camber?

Tue Sep 30 18:18:38 1997 Mike Chou (F183-056.net.wisc.edu) Has anyone seen the Electric supercharger from Grand Technologies, Inc.? It looks like a turbo housing that is I suppose electrically driven and a little power amp looking box. Anyone heard about this or know if it works? They claim upto a 30% increase in power and it's also made for smaller engines like atv's and the like. Saw it in the latest SCC..

Tue Sep 30 21:06:22 1997 Dave Lacombe (ppp125.pandore.qc.ca) My mr2 1987 is full original and it's a rare one: automatic with o/d I don't very agree automatic cars but this one was very clean with low mileage ( 90 000 km only) so I take it and I'm very happy!

Tue Sep 30 23:25:46 1997 Kenneth Cheng (lynx1066.lynx.bc.ca) I have a 1992 MR2 Turbo which is always asking for trouble. 1) a lot of young guys come up with a challenge. 2) I'd spend too much money in the speeding tickets; even at 65 Km/h. "Your car, does, is too attractive to my sight", said the policeman while he was writing me a speeding ticket.
