Nice sight; am picking up my "new" '89 MR2 (na) tomorrow: 57K miles, 5 spd, and putting the Borbet H whells with Dunlop D60A2-from my Civic, with Toyota Adapter rings. First Toyota: even with "rim protectors" on the stock alloys felt pretty good' looking forward to decent tires. Couldn't stand not having a decent lil 2 seater- traded my "beefed up" '94 del Sol and '97 Civic for a new Accord V6 coupe...fine car, but fun???? not really!! MR2 certainly "communicates", should be fun.

Robyn White (proxy01.ndf.iafrica.com)
My wife has a 1988 Mk1 T-Bar, normally aspirated engine. Which I am trying
to restore to its original condition. However this is not easy, as there are
only a limited amount of these cars in South Africa that were privately
imported into this country and parts are hard to get. If there is any help
that you can give, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I'm interested in buying a 91-93 mr2. I wanted to start by saying thanks for creating this site. It has help me a lot in learning more about the mr2. However, I have a question about the difference in the turbo and non-turbo mr2. The question/concern that I had is the following:
I wanted to know if it would be better to buy a mr2 non-turbo and then installing a new turbo to the engine and how much would it cost. Also my next question is if the two engines are in fact the same except for the turbo.
Thanks your for your help!

Betsy Grous (edslink3.eds.com)
I have a Jan. '85 MR2 with 127K, which my Dad bought new and drove only in the summer for a few years. I begged, pleaded and cried until he sold it to me (and not cheap either - thanks Dad!). I've driven it through Connecticut winters (not fun), Michigan winters (really not fun) and spent three days in it when I recently moved to Texas (would've been fun if I had cruise control). My plan was to drive it until the next major repair and buy a new Integra GSR, but you know what? Poking around on this website, I've realized how much I love my car (even though it's in the shop right now), warped rotors and all. Sorry Dad, you can't have it back. I'm keeping it forever!

I am very disappointed to see your site being sponsored by Rebel Motor Sports! Jeff Bihn and Rebel Motor Sports is a RIP OFF! Not only did they not send all of my parts, but he over charged me. He said he would refund the money and send me the missing and vital part, but he never did! Beware of Rebel Motor Sports, don't get cheated like me!

Dad Grous (hrfr-sh5-port57.snet.net)
I'm the dad who sold Betsy (Aug. 12th) the MR2. She really didn't pay that much for it, considering I still owe her $16,000 (private joke). I sure do miss them. I hope that they are good to each other.

Hi. I was just wondering about what a good price fro an MR2 is.
Here in New Zealand I can get a 1991-1993 MR2 for about $11000 (nz) This is about US$5000 or 3300 pounds. They are imported from Japan usually with 40k - 50k on the clock. A friend has one and I love the car. Acceleration is unbelievable.

Dear Intl' MR2 Club:
My father recently purchased a pre-owned 1994 Turbo T-Top MR2 with 7,000 miles and the TRD package. We have been searching high and low to gather as much information on this auto as possible. But he is still hungry for more information.
If you could mail or phone him at the following:

Phone 352-382-0316
Thanks for your time!!
P.S.
I'm sure he would be interrested in in any club information.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one with a love affair for the MR2. I bought mine in 1985 and although many new passenger cars can beat it in the 0-60 category, they will never give you the excitement and pure pleasure of driving. I still have articles from when I bought my car comparing it to a Ferrari 308. I love my car and just going to the Food Lion is fun. I'll be back to this sight and hopefully I can join the Nashville chapter soon. Thanks for the great sight.

Having recently purchased a 1986 MR2 i am in the early stages of enjoyment of the car. Absoulotley fantastic !!!.
I would welcome any comments about the normal running temprature. my car always runs with the gauge centralised, it reaches temp within a couple of mins of starting and never varies.

Hi everybody. I am 15 years old, and I'll be 16 on August 29th. All I want for my birthday is a 1991 or newer Toyota MR2. It is a very awsome car. I'm looking at a Red 1991 MR2 with t-tops and power everything, with 94,459 miles for about $5,500. I don't think my dad will buy it, and I don't have enough money, but I really hope he does.

I drive a 1991 MR2 Turbo and it is absolutely fantastic. It has 70,0000 on it and it only let me down once.The cooling system failed when I went down on a road trip to Lexington-KY from Indianapolis,IN. Now it is doing great! What should I do to make it the best it can be? I'm an ignoramus. If I did not love this car-I would surely be a very ill informed individual!!!---Bob

Hi. This is Peter writing from Germany/Europe.
I found this side because it was a link named in a german MR2-site
I have to say: It is really fantastic.
I owned an MR2 Mk1 from 1991 to 1992, then I sold it :-(((
Since then I am driving a Fiat 124 Spider. But there is a MR2 Mk1
I know which is for sale. It is low on miles and I think I will by it. It was
and it IS a great and fantastic car. If you ever had one you will never
forget it. So go on MR2 drivers ....
