Mon Feb 1 06:57:00 1999 John (luv15pub66.bluewin.ch) Just going over this site and noticed the following "Although the MR2 has not been available in North America since 1995, it continues to be manufactured and sold in several countries where the cars are right-hand drive." - note that the MR2 is being sold new in Switzerland (left hand drive) and is in the official Toyota price list.

Thu Feb 4 11:59:39 1999 JOHN HELPS (socksgate4.uk.ibm.net) HI FOLKS, I LIVE IN SOUTH LONDON AND SO I AM OK WITH A RIGHT HAND DRIVE JAPANESE IMPORT. MY CAR IS A '94 TURBO GT T-BAR. I AM DEFINITELY A FAN OF THIS CAR. IN PARTICULAR I AM INTERESTED IN NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE HANDLING !! THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A GENERAL MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE HANDLING OF MID ENGINED CARS, SURE WHEN YOU PRESS ON THRO A BEND AND THE REAR SLIDES IT GOES VERY VERY QUICK BUT YOU HAVE TO BE GOING EXTREMELY FAST TO REACH THAT LIMIT ! THE LATER CARS HAVE BETTER ROAD HOLDING IN GENERAL TERMS IN MY OPINION (I HAVE OWNED AN EARLY SW20) SO LETS HEAR NO MORE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT A CAR THAT IF IT WERE BUILT BY THE ITALIANS WOULD COST 3 TIMES AS MUCH. I LOVE MY MR2.
Thu Feb 4 12:59:33 1999 John (143.132.142.29) i'm happy

Thu Feb 4 21:45:19 1999 robert (spider-wj032.proxy.aol.com) i am currently looking to buy a 94 or a 95 mr2. i also want to have a ground effect kit put on. i owned a 91 turbo, t-top, that was loaded, but i was the second or third owner. that was a bad experience. i bought it from a dealer and the previous owner absued it. long story short, everything went wrong with the car and the dealer took it back and gave me my money back. i still didnt give up hope of having a mr2. this car will be a weekend and summer car.

I also have a '98 Dodge Durango and my wife has a '95 Mitsubishi 3000GT. But I still prefur the '85 MR2, the car I drive everyday.
Fri Feb 5 22:54:04 1999 George & Krysti Pavlisko (spider-tp012.proxy.aol.com) Very beautifully designed and engineered site. Really impressive. Wonderful information! Joe, I was not able to find out if the Mr2's interior is leather? We'll try to do some research on the interior also and get some swatches of original colors. If you need an article on proper interior cleaning, or leather care, we'll be happy to help. Regards, George & Krysti
Fri Feb 5 23:05:05 1999 Duffy Elliott (user-37kbsos.dialup.mindspring.com) I need a new clutch for my 92 mr2 na. I called around, and got prices ranging from 190 to 675. My friends step dad is a mechanic, and he said that for less than 500 it probably wasn't installed. What have any of you paid for a clutch on a 92 na?

I have owed my Black T-Top Two for 11 years. Everything original except rear tires and the wiper blades. I purchased the MR2 because it reminded me so much of my 914 Porsche, only with out the problems.

Fri Feb 12 16:42:37 1999 Ashley (p008.dixie-tippah.dixie-net.com) My dad bought a 1993 white T-top MR2, and it IS tha' bomb!!!
Fri Feb 12 22:40:53 1999 Terry (host-209-214-170-83.sdf.bellsouth.net) To Rob asking about the coolant leak, check your head gasket...you never know. On 4AGE's, they typically need to be replaced around 100-125K miles. Also, anyone own the new Volk Racing TE37 (white) interested in trading for my Fitti 500 3 piece modulars and some cash. These Fittipaldis are VERY nice and expensive, but I'm ready for a new look...can send pictures. By the way, in the tight stuff, my wife's 85 MKI NA handles better than my lowered 92 Turbo. Really. Just use the throttle to steer and man o man. Give me a supercharger and I'd...have higher insurance rates. Happy motoring to all you pure enthusiasts. I wish all the scrubs would refrain from visiting our pleasant site with mentions of 600 HP MR2's running 8's in the quarter mile and needing to "tune their bitch harder"...whatever. By the way, why did Toyota stop putting rear swaybars on the MKI's after 85? I just read that, and Its hard to believe. Did they feel it was unecessary, or where they cutting costs, did the! y run out of parts or what? Confusing.
Sat Feb 13 18:49:50 1999 Raj kumar (ecis-dyn42.ecis.com) Well I live in Antioch, Ca and my car is the only modified mr2. Its a 88 supercharged and kicks real ... E-mail if you know who runs the fastest mr2 first generation quarter mile, not the one which has 600hp doing 8s.
Sat Feb 13 18:50:05 1999 Rebecca Chapman (piweba7y-ext.prodigy.com) I like your site and my mr2!

Sun Feb 14 20:47:03 1999 Steve (spider-wn043.proxy.aol.com) I just bought a red 1991 MR2 Turbo. This car is awesome. The guy that had it before me modifided it with 16 inch wheels, a TRD suspention package (sway bars, springs, and shocks), J&S ignition, HKS turbo exhaust, and a manual boot controller and air intake from Mr.2 Preformance Products. Can't wait to take it to a race track!!
Mon Feb 15 13:24:19 1999 Glenn Miller (ke-ts5-46.glinx.com) I have a White 88 MR2 with a T-top which is being stored for the winter that I'm trying to find it in my heart to part with. I just bought a new Jeep and my wife has forced me to sell my toy. Where do I find a good home for my Baby. Signed Too Many Speeding Tickets

Thu Feb 18 00:01:25 1999 Jonathan Waite (sltoo52p20.ozemail.com.au) G'day fellow mister drivers!! Well this is the third week on the web, found your site and it's great to see such interest in these great little cars.Have had a red 89 model car for 5 years now and have not had a problem besides basic wear and tear. Great performance, handling, looks, power, class, what more could you want in a sports car. The day I saw one for the first time I just had to have one. I still don't understand why Toyota didn't promote the car heaps more. You just never saw them around. I can't tell you, of course you'd know, how many accidents I've nearly seen by people trying to get a better look at the mr2 while driving. They're just great cars. Well, gotta go and keep the spirit of this great car alive. God bless you guys. jon
Thu Feb 18 13:50:19 1999 Todd Klosnick (cobweb.ecob.iup.edu) Hi, when is the Whos who list MR2 owners list going to be updated? Its been forever!!??

Fri Feb 19 01:41:18 1999 Philos Kim (spider-wl062.proxy.aol.com) I've owned my 85 MR from the beginning. I've loved it from the first day. I've logged 128,000 miles. It has some rust , but the body structure is tighter than most cars with half the mileage. The engine is bullet proof. There isn't a day that I don't bring it to 7000 rpm. Still I am on the original clutch though I'm on my fifth set of tires. Any suggestions on a stainless steel exhaust system with a sweet exhaust note. The HKS I have now is rather disappointing. . I'd appreciate your feedback. Excellent web site.
Fri Feb 19 15:05:53 1999 Mike Turner (ppp-3-4-4.access.telinco.net) I'm a new owner of one of these crackin' little go-carts !!! Just had a new head gasket fitted, but still having a few problems with the cooling system. There is also some jerkyness with the throttle response. If there are any experts out there who could help via email, I would like to hear from them. I also want to join a local club - Dorset, England

Sun Feb 21 19:15:33 1999 Robert Edmands (ip209-183-87-148.ts.indy.net) Hello, I have a '91 turbo with 72,000 miles. I recently had the timing belt replaced. Look out! Many toyota dealerships rarely ever see these things and some do not know quite how to change a timing belt. One told me that they would have to completely remove the engine and would charge like $1100! Luckily there is more than one Toyota dealership in Indianapolis. The second one said they do not remove the engine and charge only $500. I went with the second option!!---------Bob
Sun Feb 21 20:53:00 1999 Kevin Hobbs (cache1.sntc01.pacbell.net) Ahh, the circle of life. I just traded with my Dad to get his 1989 MR2 SC back. I bought the car in 1990 & sold it to him a few years later, now I am getting it back. Car needs some tranny & brake work (and a tune up), but all that should be done in time to pop those T-tops off & enjoy a California (Bay Area) summer!! I have owned three MR2's (all Mark I models) of the years and these little cars are GREAT! Can hardly wait, so I can really compare the '2' with my wifes modified Miata.
Mon Feb 22 01:17:26 1999 Justin Smallen (proxy-435.public.paix.webtv.net) This is a great site with a lot of info.! I am a proud owner of an '89 Celica ST, but I'm getting bored with it. I am trying to purchase a 91-93 MR2 turbo. If anyone is selling, or knows of someone who is, please e-mail me. Also some tips on where to find them on the net other than the MR2 classifides site. Any info. would be greatly appreciated, and again this site is awesome!!!

Mon Feb 22 20:46:40 1999 MENTAL (webcache03p.cache.pol.co.uk) Great site, lots of info etc,. I pick up my Jap import T-Bar Turbo this coming Saturday and the wife (pregnant with 1st child) is still talking to me! Well, nearly. I've tested a few before I took the plunge, but this '90 feels quite a bit quicker...... What's been done to it? (It does have a very large exhaust pipe i.e like a trash can (we Britsh call them dustbins by the way!! Look forward to contributing soon MENTAL

Thu Feb 25 14:32:40 1999 Mike Turner (ppp-2-6-20.access.telinco.net) I've got a MK II H reg, non turbo model unfortunatly, but I love it to bits, what a sceam ! Anyway, to the point, whenever I drive with the windows down or the roof off, there is a smell of fuel that makes its way into the car. I wouldn't say it was neat fuel, but it's a "heady " type of fuel smell. I've had a good smell around the engine and can smell it around the top of the throttle linkage, but there are no signs of leakage anywhere. Toyota themselves have looked at it and moved the breather pipe from the petrol tank to a different position but still to no avail, this is getting to be a pain in the ass! Also it's not going to be much fun when the summer gets here, can anybody out there HELP !!! Of all the thousands of Mister Two owners out there, somebody must have had the same problem and solved the riddle. Please email me at sootys@freenet.co.uk and make me a happy MK 2 owner (make that happier!)
Fri Feb 26 00:01:56 1999 Travis Edland (spider-wb063.proxy.aol.com) Hi! I bought a 1991 Turbocharged MR2 about a year ago down in Phoenix AZ. And little did I Know that the turbo was going out of it. Arizona does not have a consumer protection law, so needless to say, I found myself stuck with this Mr2 with a bad turbo. I am just looking for any information on getting the turbo rebuilt or even getting a new one. I am also seeking information on wether or not it is possible to put a supercharger on it. Basically is what I would really like to do with the car is make it as high performance as possible. So if anybody has any info. in regaurds to this I will take all I can get. Thank you, Travis Edland

Q. Where can I get info on carrying out mechanical repairs, i.e. how easy is it to get the engine out etc. I'd welcome any advise Thanks Dave M

Fri Feb 26 20:10:24 1999 Bob Peitzke (PAT2.sarcom.com) I have an '87 Mark I manual 5-spd with 140K+ miles, still running great. Love it. Main complaint is short clutch life. I've put 4 or 5 clutch/pressure plate assy's in it, and it's a tough job. Every one has failed same way: cushioning biscuits/retainers between clutch hub & disc break down. Also I had to have trans rebuilt last year - lost input shaft bearings. I think the clutch & trans are the weak points in the Mk I, so am thinking about looking for a Mk II. Can anyone comment on reliability of Mk II vs Mk I? :-) Bob
Fri Feb 26 20:59:27 1999 patrick hardy (ppp202.101.mmtl.videotron.net) Comment ca va? really liked the "FAQ" document!!! Just bough a 1991 MR-2 turbo in Montreal Canada.

Sat Feb 27 06:02:02 1999 steven black (p51-max30.syd.ihug.com.au) i think that the new mr2's should have stronger engines. and i think that you should biuld bigger mr2's with 4 litre engines that roars.
