Through intensive field testing and reams of research and analysis, I have determined the my lowered and massaged-motor MK II is not the optimum Illinois snow tracker. Time to put the stock wheels back on and maybe snow tires.

I've just recently purchased an '84 MR2 G, and it didn't come with an owners manual (got it from an auction), so I'm still a little lost with what some of the buttons do. Is there anywhere on the net I can view/download an owners manual ? (in PDF or similar format)

I find lots of important info about the 4AGE on this site. Can I be part of the club or at least receive some mail about perf. mods. ? I don't really have an MR2, but I own a Corolla FX16 with the same 4AGE engine as the Mk1 !

I own a NA MKII '92. I have owned two others, both '86 NA MKI. I liked all three, although the MKII is a little more tech. advanced. Looking to start an MR2 toys collection, any leads would be great. Also looking for photos and models of the '96 LeMans MR2 #46. Enjoy the driving!!

Great site! Have to admit I've been logging into this site every time I come online. First discovered this site 8 months ago a long time before my parents bought my brother and I our FIRST CAR! An MR2 (November 30th 1998). It's a Japanese imported 1992 3S-GE, with 94 tail lights... My pride and joy.

I am on my third Mr2. This one is a 1996 dark green. Bought it a year ago with 18K miles. Have only 30K now. Might sell it. Looking for Mr2 Supercharged in perfect shape.

I have an 85 MKI with 125000 miles. I bought it two years ago, but only started driving it a few months ago. When i brought it home, It ran on only 3 cyls. After a week of motor work, it was running on al four. The first time i drove it, i was suprised. It is a rocket. I have driven my friends 88 cavailer z-24 and my mr2 would give it a run for its money. I can get a 1/4 mile time of 14.79 at 84 mph. Not bad for a 4 banger with 125000 miles huh?. I am currently in the process of instaling a supercharged 88 MKI motor with only 45000 miles. The car that this engine cam out of would do mid 13's and top 95 mph in a 1/4 mile.

I've been coming to this site of a long time and I must say that it has helped me with more than a million questions and has provided information about anything I ever wanted or needed to know about my Mr2. I have an 85. I have been doing mods(interior, exterior, motor and suspension) on it for over 3 years, It's too much to list. I just wanted to say thanks for all of the help and support to everyone who I've met on this site and everyone who supports it. Thanks!!

Just acquired a 1986 MR2 NA, good condition, high miles but well cared for. It has a couple of problems, I'll check faqs first and then post to digest if no answers found. Can't wait for spring so I can pull the sunroof and put it thru it's paces!!!

Anyone know if a Supra intercooler (any year) will fit MKII's? I have a beautiful 92 Turbo, 57K miles. I plan on a limited amount of modifications, such as a G-Tech ECU upgrade, TRD Bars all-around, TRD Hard Rubber susp. bushings (if I can find them), modified OEM turbo, and a few cosmetic enhancements. I already have a Trust exhaust, Blitz drop-in filter, Tokico Illumina shocks. TRD springs, Blitz Boost control and Turbo Timer. It is the most beautiful car I have ever seen ('99 NSX included). I also own an '85 MKI, in flawless condition (well, almost flawless), and a 1998 Integra Type-R. Sorry about the Honda plug on this Toyota page, but Toyota doesn't currently offer anything worth a damn, performance wise. I'm sorry, but the Solora (sp?) and the Celica GT don't exactly get my blood pumping. Nice cars to be sure, but...anyway, the MR2 is my all-time favorite car, bar none. If Toyota still offered it for sale here, no doubt there would be a black or yellow Turbo version, wit!
h leather, LSD, and preferably no T-Tops in my garage right now. Alas, only a the Integra and 85 MKI reside there now, with the 92 in the "shop" for new rear tires. By the way, they are 17" Yokohama AVS, and I got 13K out of the rears, and the front have at least half of their tread left! If anyone out there has gotten the G-Force ECU upgrade, post your comments on this page. I plan on that upgrade next, and I'd like to know what somebody with some brains thinks about it, rather than some salesman offering this $750 worth of electronic glory than will reinvent my car (actual quote from a guy at Alamo about the effects of this upgrade). Again, anyone that know about the Supra IC question, please answer. Good luck, and watch that oversteer...

Undoubtfully the best car ever built by Toyota Motors Corp.
I recently bought a 93' RED MR2 stock, not that i have any complains, but
I wish i could upgrade for maximum acceleration.
I want for it to be the:
"Eclipse-240SX-Integra-Celica-Boxter-Z3-CLK230-Miata Killer from Hell."
If any enthusiast wants to give me a hand write to me with your suggestions
Muchas Gracias!!! :-)

Sidney Cole (host-209-214-86-166.ath.bellsouth.net)
I really like this site, I've gotten a lot of good information here before and I'm hoping someone can help me now. Today I had a amp and cd changer installed in my MKII. I had it done at Circuit City which now I regret. The problem is now I have engine noise that is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. The installer told me that because my car is mid-engined and the wires to the amp go through/near the engine(and ECM) I am going to get the noise. They put a filter on the amp but the noise is very loud and noticeable. Also can anyone tell me how I can get some bass in my car. I don't want a box or anything behind the seat. Will four in midrange's fit in the back panels. Thanks.

Bought an immaculate '91 Turbo T-Top, black leather, Nautical Blue last fall. Had a blast touring the Oregon winery country in it. I plan to upgrade the brakes, wheels/tires before moving on to the engine. Lots of MkI and MkII MR2s around here (Portland). Hilly terrain -> curvy roads -> sports cars!

My BABY is a '94 NA, flame red w/ t-tops. I purchased the MR2 in January of '98 w/ only 7900 miles!! The car is the most affordable exotic available-- I swear it loks like a baby Ferrari 348!!!!! (My Ohio plates read LIKA4RE). The car now has 18,500 miles, mainly racked up in the spring and summer on excursions from here in Lancaster, Ohio to Windsor, Ontario and Atlanta, Georgia. The car always left me with a big grin, especially when removing the t-tops!! The car now sits in my garage, anxiously awaiting the cinders and salt brought on by the brutal weather to wash away. So far, I have upgraded to OZ Monte Carlo 16" rims w/ Pirelli P7000 tires (the rears only last 8,000 miles under "easy" driving--damned expensive at $450 to replace!!), a carbon fiber Momo shifter, and Razo carbon fiber drilled pedals. This spring or summer, I really want to upgrade the exhaust for a really nasty, "Ferrari like" sound. Any suggestions?? Again, one of the sweetest cars ever produced in Ja!
pan...now, only if Toyota would bring it back to the States!!!

To the guy asking about the G-force upgrade. It makes a big improvement. We had a group purchase several months ago and paid around $600 each. I believe there are 40 or more owners with the upgrade. A southern california member had it dynoed and has the results are on his page. I think the hp gain was near 30hp. email for more info.

Hey. I have a 1995 Toyota MR2 that i am in LOVE with. I just don't know how anybody out there could live without one :) I love my little MR2 sooooo much. I just wanted to say that this is a really cool site, and it gives info on the MR2 to people that don't know anything about the MR2. Thank you so much. Why i tell people that i have a Toyota MR2, they look at me like i am absolutely nuts. But, little do they know, that the MR2 is a wonderful car.
Thanx for reading,

I bought a 91 mr2 (NA) in Sept 98 and it is hot! It has 32,000 miles on it and it was detailed every 6 months since (not a speck of dirt on it). It rides and handles like a dream. It is red and turns heads anywhere it goes. I'm trying to find inexpensive upgrades for it, that don't require a lot of work. I have a K&N filterchanger and there's a slight improvement. Bring back the MR2 to the USA!

Just hope I go a while without speeding tickets! I plan to visit this site very often--as I truely appreciate the uniqueness and one of a kind nature the car.
Thanks for putting together such a cool site!

Interesting site! In America I own a 1989 Orange Pearl Mica Supercharged MR2; however, I live in Japan now and this
Friday I finally get to own a MkII. So I found your site looking for pictures to show my friends here at school I work for.
I found the section on the meaning of the name MR2 interesting. Once, when I was shopping for my Orange '88, a
certain Toyota dealer in Ohio had a Toyota standup advertisment with a book on their cars attached. It gave the
origin of all the names of their cars at the time and listed MR2 as Mid-Engine, Rear Wheel Drive, 2 seater. I really wanted
to take MR2 page, but the dealer said they could not give it away. But anyway, great site, if phone calls and the internet
were not so expensive here in Japan I would visit it more often.

Freddie (spider-wg014.proxy.aol.com)
This site is really helpful and educatoinal to people like me who are thinking of buying one. Unfurtunately we have to buy it used due to the fact that Toyota stoped shipping it to the United States. I'm thinking of buying a 94 or 95 turbo. I live in Southern California and import racing scene is really popular and i'm thinking of modifying it for quarter mile races. I know the MR2 has a lot of potential to offer. Now the problem is looking for it which is really rare.

Once again, great site! The tech tips section has been very useful indeed. I love this car too much to part with it ( 92 Red NA ). With a new baby in the family, the wife wants a 4 seater ( Maybe a Dinan M3? ) but I want my mid-engine slot car. I only wish that I could find forced induction for the 5SFE motor. I heard somewhere that MR2pp in Colorado can do this modification. Does anyone else have information on this subject? I know I should probably just break down and buy a turbo but I REALLY don't want to part with my 2! Keep up the great work and thanks especially to Geoff S. Mark S. and the others for their technical expertise and tips. BTW, I have driven other mid-engine cars ( Porsche 914, Fiat x-19, Ferrari 308, that Pontiac thing) and I must say that the 2 is better than all. Sorry to tell the X-19 guy that the Fiat does not even come close!!!! Stay in the power band and power out of the apex. Have fun!!!

One more thing.... I have always had really good luck with Yokohoma tires. They stick to the road much better than any other tire with that kind of lifespan. I have had about 35K on my front tires and they still look new. They are great in wet weather also. As for the rears, well they don't last 50K but then again I don't think anything will the way I treat them! Parking the car and watching the smoke come off of them is always entertaining!!!

I own a 1988 mk1 NA and was interested in an engine swap to the later 2 liter NA engine. Wonder if the overall dims are the same, bolt to my existing bell hsg, engine mts etc. Probably if I read enough of your great website, someone has already tried it.

Geez...I sign the guestbook and all of a sudden I get these jokers emailing me how their cars are so fast, doing 10 second quarters. I don't even have the turbo, do these guys have small members?

This site is wonderful. It was very helpful in my search for the MR2 that I recently purchased. Information about these cars can be difficult to find. Keep up the good work

Having previously owned a 1985 Red Mk1 MR2 and a 1987 Mica Blue Mk1 MR2 I decided to buy a Red Mk2 1990 G-Limited T-Bar ( Japanese Import )back in May 1998 and have to say it is the best car i have ever owned. Great Web Site.
