Wed Oct 1 01:04:03 1997 Momo Xu (ww-td61.proxy.aol.com) I am a high school student who got a 86 MR-2 Auto and loves it. I am just eager to learn more about what I can do with it. I allways had a stupid wander: Can I ever transform an auto to a manu?
Wed Oct 1 05:14:06 1997 Paul Branston (mailhost.tarmac.co.uk) Excellent informative website, need I say more?
Wed Oct 1 10:46:05 1997 Bob Hale (reynolds-bh.rmc.com) Preparing to turbocharge my beloved 85 MKI (see Virginia Who's who) Does anybody have old HKS data on their old turbo systems? They're not very excited about helping with technical data! I have a cast- iron HKS manifold, J&S knock sensor, etc ready to go, may use T28 turbo or some variation thereof-the manifold was built for a T3. Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
Wed Oct 1 17:37:06 1997 serge (139.103.17.141) looking for a sunroof for 85 mr2 if anyone knows where i can find one please e-mail me, i tried the dealer but they wanted 1100$ for one thats expensive for a student
Thu Oct 2 00:47:14 1997 Anthony Oliveri (ww-tq04.proxy.aol.com) This a wonderful site for MR2 fanatics like myself, and my 91 MR2.
Thu Oct 2 02:55:39 1997 Aaron Prichard (proxye3-atm.san.rr.com) I have a 91 Mr2 Turbo...Filter, exhaust, blow off valve, turbo timer...looking for someone who can recommend a solution(under $500) for my horrible turbo lag/cutting out. Thanks...

Thu Oct 2 09:29:08 1997 chris (ww-tr05.proxy.aol.com) I do noy own an mr2 but I think they are awesome looking little cars. I am currently debating whether to buy an rx-7 or a late model mr2. I heard mr2's are suppose to be far more reliable. I also heard that they are developing a new version. love them mr2's!!!

Thu Oct 2 22:42:04 1997 CHRIS SCAVONE (slip166-72-241-181.tn.us.ibm.net) I OWN A 1993 MR2 TURBO AND IT IS THE BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. BEFORE THE MR2 I OWNED A CELICA GT, I WILL STAY LOYAL TO TOYOTA FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
Fri Oct 3 01:29:57 1997 Jim Sutton (hd8-165.hil.compuserve.com) I have a 1992 MR2 Turbo and along with numerous modifications. The most recent being white face guage face replacments from NR Auto! They look awesome i highly suggest them!!
Fri Oct 3 10:28:20 1997 Gordon Tyrrell (194.106.154.2) Jim, I mailed you but in case you don't get it can you tell me the name or number for the place with the white faced dials. I've been trying to find somewhere to do it for weeks now.
Fri Oct 3 12:30:05 1997 Terry (ncc-d4.it-ncc.louisville.edu) My Black 92 Turbo is stock engine wise, but I've already got to work on the suspension. The handling was phenomenal right out of the box, but I wanted the car to sit a bit lower, so I installed Tokico Illum- na's and TRD springs...the ride is a lot firmer than before, which dissappointe me. That's why I got ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS! I have them on the softest setting, and it is still very harsh. But, aside from the ride, the results are nothing short of breathtaking. It looks like an INDY car, the back end sits so low. And I thought it handled well stock! I can now take a corner as fast as my Yokohama AVS 17's will hold up. Its insane! If a 93 suspension can handle any better, I'd like to drive one, because this is unreal. A few quick comments: The gearbox sucks, and my chassis settles and shifts over anything more than a small bump. Is this because of the T-tops and their effect on the structural integrity. Also, to all of you spankers crying about turbo lag, if you know how to drive the car, the lag is almost invisible. I love this car, and I love Toyota's, and will frequent this site in hopes of intelligent and helpful communication. I'd also like to mention I also have a 1987 Toy FX 16, with TRD headers, HKS exhaust, intake, etc. The engine? None other than the 4A GE that is tucked behind the heads of all MKI drivers. Yes, its fast too.
Fri Oct 3 19:49:44 1997 Ian Gopez (rm025-137.lib.fsu.edu) I am looking for clear corner lamps for my 86MkI. Any help would be great. Also, what foglamps look good for my car? I like Catz but am willing to listen to suggestions

Sun Oct 5 16:58:48 1997 Genocide (ww-te64.proxy.aol.com) I just bought an 86' MR2 with a Twin Cam engine (do they all come with a Twin Cam in 86'???)this week, and it is a sweet machine! Lotus did the handling, which makes it handle like a slot car. The duel exhuast gives it a nice hum when I take-off. I would like to spend some money on it, to improve performance even more, any suggestions???
Sun Oct 5 22:28:08 1997 JAN NARTOWICZ (189.norfolk-001.va.dial-access.att.net) I'M A PROUD OWNER OF THREE(3) MR-2'S. '85,'87,'91
Mon Oct 6 04:53:18 1997 Seth Ruden (SA-4EN105.sonoma.edu) While I love my 83 Porsche 944, I feel that it is way too expensive for a college student to tend to as his studies now occupy a majority of my time. While it will never handle as well as my Porsche, a 91 mr2 would be a welcome step down from the cost of ownership of a german masterpeace. Rice rockets are my forte as I work on them almost daily at my shop, But I fear that once I leave the wonderness of the porsche's magic,there will no longer be a piece of my heart devoted to extreme offerings of the sports car that defined sports cars to me. I hope the MR2 can give what I enjoy to me for 1/10 the price and performance level. Seth Ruden 83 944 with a wonderful spirit
Mon Oct 6 10:06:34 1997 Shawn (usem.com) Sign the petition everybody, my '93 is about to hit 100K miles and I want a brand-new one!!! To the guy complaining about the "harsh" suspension on his lowered MR2...it has little to do with the shocks (wether they be adjustable or not), you now have MUCH firmer springs. No shock is going to make it a comfortable ride, but your adjustable Tokikos will work out best in the end because you can stiffen up the suspension (shocks at least) to the point where you handle more like a Go-Kart. If you still had the "stock" shocks your car would bounce like a pogo-stick.
Mon Oct 6 13:11:05 1997 Myles (pool005-max1.gg-ca-us.dialup.earthlink.net) 91 Mr2. would like to modify my exhaust system with headers, freeflow catalytic conv. and muffler. Would this help with the horsepower? Also I seem to experience leaking in the exhaust betweeen the converter and the muffler. Is this a common problem with the mkII Mr2s? Does anyone know where I can get clear corner lenses?
Mon Oct 6 15:04:25 1997 Joe (206.141.177.9) My dad just bought an MR2, and believe me, I have never seen him so excited. From what he tells me, this is the best car ever made!
Mon Oct 6 23:50:33 1997 Adam Tinin (mu201004.cc.und.NoDak.edu) College student with two MR2's. I'm trying to start a club in North Dakota.
Tue Oct 7 14:24:29 1997 TERRY HEICK (ncc-m2.it-ncc.louisville.edu) What are typical times for MKII Turbo's stock (esp. 92's, if there is any difference)? I ran a 15.1 with a dirty OE filter and 17" wheels which probably hurt my acceleration a little. Dylan Walker claims a 14.37 e.t. in his stock 92! That's incredible to me, but is this typical? Also, does the Greddy TD06 make more power than HKS Sport turbo upgrade? And finally, I'm looking for a turbo kit for my 1987 Toy FX16 (4AGE engine) HKS used to make a kit, but they discontinued it. I'd love to get my hands on one used, new, a different bolt on kit, etc. Great site, any help would be appreciated.

Tue Oct 7 19:59:55 1997 Mike Gerwig (ppp28.parlorcity.com) Just entered my second childhood and bought a 1987 MR2. Love it more than my old cessna..
Tue Oct 7 21:16:56 1997 Michael (pm9-24.flash.net) Seth: Naowdays, a '91 mr2 turbo would cost more than a '83 944, not 1\10 the price. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the mr2 handled even better than the Porsche. It's not like you had a 911 or anthing.
Tue Oct 7 23:41:39 1997 Myles (169-146-211.ipt.aol.com) Hey Seth, You dare to compare an 83 antique Porsche 944 to a 91 Mr2 turbo? Just test drive a turbo Mister two and you will find out what world class sports car handling really is. The only Porsche that could beat the Mr2 turbo is the 911.
Wed Oct 8 02:27:32 1997 noel c. gayoso (207.137.28.72) check out the new import scene coming out with cali teenagers. were leading the scene with strongest ethusiasm ever felt before. Just look at the import showoff and see the crazies modified n/a and turbo mr2s.
Wed Oct 8 12:42:15 1997 Alan Williams (198.49.31.101) Does anyone else want Real Power in a MR2 without spending thousands upon thousands of dollars to build a fast motor, only to have it last a few thousand miles ? I've hot rodded motors for years, but what I find is that the more power you extact from an engine the less life it has. I want to build a MR2 with a V6 3.0 out of a late model Camry. It looks like the entrie drivetrain complete with trasmission, ECU , etc. will fit. Imagine a 3.0 liter MR2, which is what Toyota should have put in the car to begin with. Don't get me wrong I love my 86 Mr2. If anyone has any info, please post it. Or if you don't have any info, Lets find some. Thanks Alan
Wed Oct 8 12:46:11 1997 Alan Williams (198.49.31.101) I want to build a MR2 with a V6 3.0 out of a late model Camry. It looks like the entire drivetrain complete with trasmission, ECU , etc. will fit. Imagine a 3.0 liter MR2, which is what Toyota should have put in the car to begin with. Someone must have the same vision I have of having a MR2 which will eat anthing else on the road.Don't get me wrong I love my 86 Mr2. If anyone has any info, please post it. Or if you don't have any info, Lets find some. Thanks Alan
Wed Oct 8 12:54:31 1997 Alan Williams (198.49.31.101) Imagine a MR2 with a V6 3.0 out of a late model Camry with 200hp stock. (If that bores you we can put a turbo on it.)HOT RODDED motors are great but they cost Alot of money! A motor which is pushed to the limit will not live long. The return of the money spent vs how long it last is very short in most cases. I want to build a MR2 with lots of HP and TORQUE ! I've been to many junk yards searching for parts for my MR2. In the course of trying to find parts it looks like the entire drivetrain complete with trasmission, ECU , etc. will fit. Imagine a 3.0 liter MR2, which is what Toyota should have put in the car to begin with. Someone must have the same vision I have of having a MR2 which will eat anthing else on the road.Don't get me wrong I love my 86 Mr2. If anyone has any info, please post it.

Wed Oct 8 13:08:25 1997 Alan Williams (198.49.31.101) I must be the Only person in the world which can imagine a MR2 with a V6 3.0 out of a late model Camry with 200+hp/ft.lbs Torque stock. (if that's not enough, then we can HOT ROD it, turbo it, etc.) I wish sometimes the MR2 was an American car(like an Fireo), then maybe I could find some info on ENGINE SWAPS. I've done numerous searches on the internet, and I've found Nothing! The only info about MR2's seems to be from people who want to sell you parts to hop-up your exsisting motor up. HOT RODDED motors are great but they cost Alot of money! A motor which is pushed to the limit will Not Live Long. The return of the money spent VS how long it last is very short in most cases. I want to build a MR2 with lots of HP and TORQUE ! I've been to many junk yards searching for parts for my MR2.

Wed Oct 8 13:18:36 1997 Alan Williams (198.49.31.101) I must be the Only person in the world which can imagine a MR2 with an ALL Aluiminum Quad Cam engine, V6 3.0 out of a late model Camry with 200+hp/ft.lbs Torque stock. (if that's not enough, then we can HOT ROD it, turbo it, etc. "I will because 200+ hp is not enough") I wish sometimes the MR2 was an American car(mid-engine Fierro), then maybe I could find some info on ENGINE SWAPS. I've done numerous searches on the internet, and I've found Nothing! The only info about MR2's seems to be from people who want to sell you parts to hop-up your exsisting motor up. HOT RODDED motors are great but they cost Alot of money! A motor which is pushed to the limit will Not Live Long. (Which means you have to buy more of those same parts, If you have to pay a mortgage you only do that once!)The return of the money spent VS how long it last is very short in most cases.

Someone must have the same vision I have of having a MR2 which will eat anthing else on the road.Don't get me wrong I love my 86 Mr2. I wish I had just swapped the complete drvetrain to begin with instead of re-building it. I figure I could have done a complete engine swap for about what I spent to re-build it.If anyone has any info, please post it. Or if you don't have any info, Lets find some. Thanks Alan
Wed Oct 8 14:18:04 1997 Bob (reynolds-bh.rmc.com) Calm down, Alan! Everything is going to be okay !! I'm the guy asking for old HKS literature or ideas on turboing a MKI. If you've got info, please e-mail me at fablab@hotmail.com -the other e-mail is at work! Thanx in advance!!
Wed Oct 8 15:12:33 1997 Fred Vachss (canogaf.rdyne.bna.boeing.com) To Alan Williams: I like thinking about swaps too, but having done some in other vehicles I think there could a lot of effort involved in getting a bigger motor into an MR2 effectively. If the half-shafts just happen to mate up with the Camry transaxle that would be wonderful, but splicing may be necessary. Then you need to fab motor mounts and an exhaust system. Then get all the wiring to match up. Then, possibly most important of all, you have to keep the bigger engine cool. This is often a big problem in swaps and an even bigger one when swapping to a mid-engined location. I also prefer the grunt of cubic inches to other hop-up techniques, but think that the time/effort/reliability equation still works against a V6 swap - unless you have months of spare time to work out all the details and fabricate all the one-off parts. I guess somebody has to be the pioneer Alan. Go for it and let us know how it goes.

Thu Oct 9 05:33:13 1997 leo ho (1Cust80.tnt19.lax3.da.uu.net) i wonder that why not the toyota company make a bigger mr2 or atleast replace the 3.0 and 3.0 turbo under the hood of the mr2 to compete with the others sports cars.as a mr2 owner(89/model) i would love to purcharge a more performent mr2 instead of modify it anyway it is two small to modify the engine unless stretch its body.however thanks to toyota for a great perfoment mr2 in the pass years.waiting to see a new debut of mr2 from toyota .

Thu Oct 9 14:59:59 1997 Tony (131.247.123.248) I own a '93 MR2 Turbo, and I love it. I do have one problem. My MR2 idles very eradically. Sometimes it idles fine and other times it idles very low. Once it even stalled out. It usually occurs right after I started it up or after I am driving it for awhile. But when I stomp on the accelerator when it is in neutral, the idle usually returns to normal. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them. aszetela@brill.acomp.usf.edu

Thu Oct 9 23:25:49 1997 Mike Chou (F210-055.net.wisc.edu) Yes Alan I would be REAL interested in a V6 to replace my little 5SFE motor! If ya get figures and do it successfully lemme know! Otherwise I am hoping to just drop in a turbo or the 3SGTE turbo when I have the funds.. Yeah a V6 would be nice.. Do you know if it's much heavier though?

Sat Oct 11 13:47:46 1997 Veronica Leung (SPC-ISP-EDM-UAS-2-91.sprint.ca) The MR2 Wed site is very good idea, this site can groups the MR2 owers altogether. They can exchange their advises. I can find the informations about MR2 I want to know .Thank you for someone who created this Wed sit.
Sat Oct 11 17:58:55 1997 Fred Corsiglia (dialup119.websurfer.net) I bought my first MR2 right out of college in 1991. I still own my 1991 MR2, and have 94,000 miles on it, so I was beginning to think about a replacement car. I have looked at several other makes and models, but when it was all said and done, I came back to the MR2, and just this week bought a 91 Turbo MR2 which was wrecked in the front with 53,000 miles for $2500. I found a front clip (evidently the original owner is a member of this website) for $1500, and I am having them put together. What is a reasonable price for leather seats? Also, I'd like to buy a factory CD player. Anyone out there have these parts? What about ideas for paint colors that might look good other than the original faded red. The front end was that pearl green which is an interesting color.

Sat Oct 11 20:05:34 1997 Terry Blong (cs3-10.iaw.on.ca) No, I'm not selling my beloved 1989 MR2, never. But if anyone has any clue why an excellent running supercharged engine coughs up in a furball like manner when tank is 1/4 full I would love to hear what I can do to fix this irritating behaviour. Thanks for any help.
Sun Oct 12 02:58:05 1997 Joseph Dorton (rcm-as1s41.erols.com) For a four-banger, my '87 is mighty powerful. It is naturally-aspirated, but it managed to keep up with a '86 Thunderbird and outran a CRX. And to think, at one time I thought the only good cars were the old Chevy and Dodge muscle cars. I was wrong!!!!!!!!!!

Mon Oct 13 13:59:39 1997 Marilyn Shafer (59.san-francisco-07.ca.dial-access.att.net) Hi! Proud owner (4 months now!) of 1991 NA. Am more in love with it than ever. Hey! For all you folk with faded (oxidized) non clear- coated paint - I "discovered" something that works fabulously. It's called "TR3" and it's a wax/polish/resin you can buy in any auto parts store. I was amazed at the difference it made to my tired paint job. My spoiler (and the rest of the car) looks [almost] brand new! Try it, you'll like it! One question about my car's performance someone can help me with? It squeaks and groans badly any time I go over a bump (or even a crack in the road), as if there was no lubrication in the suspension at all. But, by the end of the day, (or after driving for a while) the squeaks go away (as if the grease (?) had warmed up). Am I maybe talking new shocks here, or do I need a lube job? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the great MR2 site, Geoff! Come here every day (ok, I love my "Two"!).
Mon Oct 13 15:06:21 1997 HIRTZ Claude (pool36-ascend2-luxembourg.static.selection-line.net) I'm owner of an 1991 Mr2 turbo (CA specs)with HKS power flow air filter, twin power ignition system, fuel cut defencer and high flow exhaust.

Tue Oct 14 01:36:58 1997 Raffy Barr (ts15ip48.cadvision.com) I would love to have 1994 or later model MR2. Just keep on DREAMING! ha! ha! ha!. I love my Corolla GTS. EXCELLENT CAR. Keep on Dreaming to have MR2 in the FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tue Oct 14 02:20:59 1997 Bill Rigg (port130.sev.org) I recently bought a red '86 MK1 and plan to restore it.
Tue Oct 14 02:42:37 1997 mike lewis (host-207-53-94-28.pbi.bellsouth.net) hello great page guys, could someone tell me if it is possible to add a turbo to my 91 MR2 and where i can purchase it if so. thanks, MIKE
Tue Oct 14 10:01:40 1997 Gaz (ptrfabs.demon.co.uk) I`ve owned a '93 MR2 for exactly 1 year today. It's fantastic fun, although watch your arse doesn't swap places with the front when giving it loads (you've been warned!!). Web site is great, but some more decent pictures would be nice. Who said they are a hair dressers car? If you are going to upgrade get the handling sorted first especially those pre '92 MK2. Can I recommend bored out to 2.2 litres with a super charger (turbos kick in to hard) good enough for 225bhp. Don't forget brembo anchors either. Keep up the good work. See you in Le Mans '98.
Tue Oct 14 12:07:29 1997 Mike Holmes (maholmes.sp.TRW.COM) I've owned a Porche 924, a 300ZX and now a 1991 MR2 Turbo. It's a real sports car and I'm very happy with so far. Only had it since Father's Day this year.
Tue Oct 14 18:34:17 1997 Dan and Terri (typhoon.cs.odu.edu) Very interesting site! We enjoyed the articles. It's our understaing, though, that the MR2 original design was bought from "Fier_" and Toyota fixed it's problems and "wallaa" - the MR2. (with Lotus suspension!)
Wed Oct 15 09:06:15 1997 Doug Pearce (olympus.cyburbia.net.au) I am considering buying an MR2 and am seeking all available information. This site is most helpful.
Wed Oct 15 09:54:46 1997 Bob (reynolds-bh.rmc.com) I MUST respond to Dan & Terri's comment about the MR2's origins as a "Fier_" ( a bad word around here ). This is totally unfounded, and the "Fier_" is a total pile of turd! I have SMOKED V6 "Fier_" in my normally aspirated 85 MR2 that just has HKS exhaust & flywheel & TRD wires. The "Fier_" cannot touch the Toyota in terms of handling, acceleration, braking (Chevette underpinnings & iron duke 4 & 6 cylinders-the four banger sounds like a mail truck), build quality, resale value... I could go on. "Fier_" lovers visit this site to see what real cars are like-when they're not getting their plastic cars repainted or extinguishig engine fires! And those trunk-mounted luggage racks are SWEET! signed "CAN'T PRY MY MR2 FROM MY DEAD HANDS" Bob
Wed Oct 15 10:12:45 1997 Shawn (usem.com) Oh for God's sake, let's not get this "Fier_" thing started AGAIN!
Wed Oct 15 12:20:20 1997 Terry Heick III (ncc-d2.it-ncc.louisville.edu) I've owned three cars...A '75 Monte Carlo (350 w/ headers), a 1987 Toyota FX 16 (moderately modified), and my current '92 MR2 Turbo. The quality and distinctiveness of the Toyota line is incredible. I loved spanking GTI'S AND CRX'S in my FX16, and my MR2 is untouchable Overall, looks, quality, gas mielage, straight line speed, handling, head turning factor, fun, MR2 are the best. Though I may sound like a commercial, I LOVE TOYOTA
Wed Oct 15 13:23:39 1997 Kjersti Engebrethsen (pc-61.treider.no) The MR2 is a fantastic car ! I have had mine for over 2 years now, and it is the best and most comfortable car I have ever driven ! I love my car !
Wed Oct 15 14:32:45 1997 Michael Moorman (PIX-c183.puc.edu) I just recently drove a '91 MR2 with 95,000 miles and it was a blast. Not only did it has a lot of miles but it still was tight. It didn't rattle or squeek and had smooth handling and shifting with plenty of power. It seems so impractical to buy a car with only 2 seats and no real cargo space but it's so much fun that I'm thinking that I can do without the rest. I'm now looking for a '91 or '92 MR2 turbo with less than 70,000 miles(not thrashed), sunroof, 5 spd., that's completely stock. I live in California and would need to buy it here in consideration of smog and time. I'd like to pay between $10k and $12.5k. Wish me good luck!

Wed Oct 15 23:03:28 1997 chris shupe (pm5-220.roanoke.infi.net) I have owned these cars for 11 years now and love them more and more each year. I have an 88 Supercharged that i have had for 5 years now, I have lowered it 2 inches, put a larger HKS pulley on it, KYB struts, suspension spring specialist springs, poly urathane bushings in the steering, put a bigger sway bar in the front and had one made for the rear, dynomax exhaust. the best way to avoid turbo lag is to buy a supercharged! I would enjoy talking to anyone else with a supercharged!
Wed Oct 15 23:20:42 1997 Gabe (ww-tr04.proxy.aol.com) I own a '92 MR2 (non-turbo) which I bought after trading my '85 MR2 (also non-turbo). I LOVE THESE CARS!!!! Would love to get info from MR2 fanatics.

Sat Oct 18 23:53:20 1997 Chad (gs5.cinti.net) This site just rulz!!!! I bought my first MR2 about 3 months ago. It's a 93 NA Red T-bar. In that 3 month span of time I've done all of the preventive maintance on it (timeing belt, oil change, tune up,..). I've also added some goodies like NGK plugs and Nology wires, HKS intake,Momo black leather knob, leather boot, and a two hundred watt amp (just loud enough to blow the T-tops off). I have lots of plans for this car but I have to take them a year at a time. Next year brakes(cross-drilled) and shocks.

By the way , the belt ( timing) is still quite new. Suspecting either the belt or the pulley....???

Mon Oct 27 23:11:47 1997 Chad (gs5.cinti.net) I was just reading the past guest books and I really liked the idea of putting a Camery V6 in the MR2. I just got done looking at the Toyota page and they do have a Camery with a 5 speed and a V6. If anyone has done this already I would love to hear how hard it was. I love my 93 NA but if I could put a V6 in it.........!!!!!!!!

Tue Oct 28 13:04:44 1997 Aaron (coeproxy.uww.edu) Well I have been unable to locate what I need for my MR2, soooo it's time for it to stop wasting space. I am selling a 1986 MR2, the interior is in excellent condition, needs a little spot touch up on the body, and it needs a new engine (I believe that there is a cracked cylinder). So if anyone out there wants a fixer uper please e-mail me. Looking to get about $600 or best offer.
Tue Oct 28 18:26:35 1997 April (207.80.105.108) I have just bout my '91 MR2, nd my sister has had hers. They are great cars, but if any one wants to buy a '91 MR2 just email me.
Tue Oct 28 20:23:54 1997 dave (ww-ta04.proxy.aol.com) Has anyone else out there advanced their timing by turning the distributer cap? Interested in other opinions. RPM's seem to fly by.
Wed Oct 29 13:19:47 1997 Alan Walsh (valet.dreo.dnd.ca) Great site... I'm looking for a 88-91 MR2. The body condition isn't important to me but the drive train must be in great shape.
Wed Oct 29 17:56:27 1997 Tricia Brown (ts004d20.col-oh.concentric.net) I have a 91 non-turbo in Super White. I just had the radiator replaced yesterday due to a leak. But I'm losing my heat when I stop at lights and get it back when I drive. Is it possible I have air bubbles in the system? I've been dealing with dealers ever since my private Toyota mechanic retired, and it's a nightmare. They just don't seem to care at all. If anyone has any suggestions, I sure would appreciate it so much. I love the car, but finding honest reliable service for her is very challenging!

Thu Oct 30 16:53:50 1997 Ian Gopez (rm025-35.lib.fsu.edu) I have a question about stereo improvements. I have an 86 MkI and I tried to have fitted today, 8" subs behind the seats. To my dismay, I was uncomfortable because it pushed the seats forward permenantly. I was wondering if anyone has had success w/ putting subs inside their MkI. I really just have the stock 4" speakers. Now I want to utilize my 300 watt amp. Are there speakers I can install on the doors that can handle 300 watts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fri Oct 31 05:20:36 1997 Brian Kiser (lex-ts1-23.iglou.net) I'm thinking about getting a '91 MR-2, but am hesitant. It looks a bit small for me (I'm a big guy), and has 82,000 miles. I'm going to check on the price tomorrow. It sure looks sharp. Any comments regarding the car? (I.E. What's a "good" price for a '91 model? What tends to go bad, etc?) All comments are appreciated! Thanks. :)
Fri Oct 31 08:03:16 1997 Rolf Ivar Myhre (reverse.NCR.COM) WOOW !! What a page ! help me:: Can i put a 86 mod Celica 2.0 GT engine in my 86 mod MR2 ??. if you know, please call me...(047) 22466427. (NORWAY)
Fri Oct 31 12:06:16 1997 Fred Vachss (canogaf.rdyne.bna.boeing.com) To Brian: Around here (southern CA) a '91 with 82K on it would probaly sell for around $7K depending on condition/options. I am 6'1" and fit comfortably in mine, but don't have quite enough room to stretch my legs out straight with the seat back at its furthest.
Fri Oct 31 13:05:01 1997 Shawn (usem.com) If anybody has noticed the GREAT DEAL for a 1995 MR2 Turbo in the classified section.....for sale by Asia in California for $15K, low miles, with HKS and stuff. IT IS NOT A 1995 CAR, I CHECKED THE VIN # ON IT AND IT IS A 1991. This could have been an honest mistake, I hope it was, but MR2 buyers will travel 1,000's of miles to buy our automotive love so lets try to all be honest here so someone doesn't get screwed! Let's have an MR2 Rally in the midwest!!!!!
Fri Oct 31 15:38:35 1997 Howard Wells (proxy-107.iap.bryant.webtv.net) Since June 14,1985 I've been in love with my MR2! It was a midlife crisis(35yrs) purchase that has sustained me through ups and downs of life. And still, every time I see the little red beauty a smile returns to my face and my mind! Why I've waited to research the net about the car, I just don't know. I don't plan on modifying, lowering, or souping it at all. Real love doesn't need improvement...just exercise!
