I'm pleased to announce to the sw20 3sgte community that Blitz nurspec-r exhaust from japan has finally arrived. i'm also proud to announce that the first one to arrive is mine, and will be on the car 11/4/99. It arrived from Blitz to Florida monday the first of September 1999. The nurspec is an off road three inch mandrel bend exhaust single tip, with built in , and removable baffle. The exhaust will tie up to the Blitz defuser (downpipe)for the best exhaust available for the powerfull 3sgte Mr2.

I think that MR2 are just about the coolest car you can get. When I tried driving one for the first time, it was better than sex.

I own a 1988 jet black supercharged MR2, with polished wheels, and it kicks butt. I love my car too much because it's just too much fun to drive.

tom johnson (nic-30-c25-055.mw.mediaone.net)
Marc Summers letter on the HKS blow-off valve is not 100% accurate. Venting the excess boost to atmosphere is not the ticket because all that air goes directly to the MAF, by doing so this is creating a overly rich condition and can lead to backfires in the exhaust, poor gas mileage, and a black-dirty bumper. I have alot more I could say about some of the ignorance in this site but I don't have the time or space to write it! Toyota has alot of good designs that were made on the 3SGT engine for a reason, and alot of dumbasses on this site think they are engineers but actually they are making they car run slower! The point is, think of the stuff you are changing and how they might effect the car in anegative way!

Greetings all!
A question for the wise out there. I'm considering on changing from 10W-30 to 20W-50 (semi) senthetic motor oil (Castrol). Anyone do this already? If so, any feedback as to recommendation or not? Also, how about spark plug replacements. Any recommendations? Thanks a million.

I have just bought myself a beast an MR2 GTS TWIN ENTRY TURBO 1993. You can feel the "G" Force when taking off. The torque is unbelievable. Low profile racing suspensions and DAB tower struts. I still can not belive I own this car. Good luck to all MR2 owners Christy.

At Last, I found the MR2 Club. I was a member of the old Toyota sponsered one that ended quickly in the mid-90's. I've got a 92 T Bar Normally Aspirated with 140,000 miles that has seen me through nearly 8 years of fun, even on the most boring of dates.

I recently bought an 85 mr2 fully restored and slightly modified. I haven't really driven it much but from my experince so far it is an exiting car to drive,and with the tokiko suspension it corners on a dime!(I only wish it wre easier to get at the oil filter!)-however I find the owner's page very informative and helpfull, it's cool to see what other's have done and what's in the market for parts and such.

Jamie Ernspiker (spider-wb013.proxy.aol.com)
I've always loved the MR2 and I am ecstatic that it will be back in the
U.S. in spring of 2000. I'm so glad it won't be called an MRS like the prototype was being called.
I'm sure more people will buy a Honda S2000 because it'll be faster, but
the MR2 is supposedly going to be cheaper than the S2000 and I think it looks better. Power isn't everything.

Sunny (7of9.wellsfargo.com)
I just wanted to say hi to all the owners and potential owners out there. I currently have an 86na. I'm working on turbo charging it. I already have the manifold already. With the hardest step out of the way, I hope to be rebuilding this midengine classic really soon. I also saw a 91T for about $3K, so things might change very soon if it turns out to be in good condition. It would be nice to have two turbo mr2's. One for drag (mk1 of course) and one for street. My current mods on the na are: thermal exhaust, 87+tailights, clear turn lenses, intrax springs, tokico hp shocks, jap spec 4age, cone filter, sc rims, and sleepy eyes. Have fun driving.

I have just in the past six months began to drive my fathers '90 Mr2 v4 turbo manual transmission. I enjoy driving it. The car looks nice but I think red would look racier.

I just recently bought a white 1986 Toyota MR2 (Sept. 6, 1999). It has leather interior, it's auto trans., air conditioning, heater. I am currently repairing two new rust spots, redoing the leather, adding exhaust pipe extensions, new shocks and tires, a JVC El Kameleon Anti-Theft CD Player, a RUSH bumper sticker, and repainting the MR2 fire red with a yellow/orange flame on both sides. This car is my pride and joy, and I'm only 16! WOOOO!

I am thinking of getting a MR2 but it is like a car i know little of so coming to yr web site, perhaps i can learn more abt it. What are the pros and cons of getting the car? (honestly!) Currently i am driving a 96' honda civic and upgrading to a turbo charge car is an idea i have been toying with. Well all the best to u guys!

Rex Van Zant (tc2-108.dip.iei.net)
After years of lusting for a MK II, I finally became an owner in late July '99. I was fortunate enough to find a '91 n/a T-bar with just 64,000 miles. Just over four months later the car now has 71,000 miles, most of it commuting 104 miles round trip five days a week. As the Indiana winter sets in I will no doubt fall back on my 86 Toyota truck or our 91 Celica. The MR2 is Nautical Blue metallic, blue cloth interior, with after-market CD player. Initially I thought I might keep the car for another two years and then trade for a new MR2 Spyder, but the Spyder will really have to impress me a lot to give up this one. My second great surprise was accidentally finding this website. Great source of information, club contacts and fellowship with like-minded enthusiasts.

Just purchased my second MR2. It's a red '93 w/t-tops and 5 speed trans. My first was a red '92 w/sunroof and 5 speed trans. I sold my first one to buy my wife a car and missed the car every day until I bought the '93. It's absolutely the best car I have ever driven. It handles like it's on rails. Bring on the curves. This car will chew them up and spit them out! The MR2 is a blast to drive.

I have a '92 Green Mr2, beautiful car. It's a non turbo (for now) but is a pleasure to drive. After driving along with my fellow Mustang GT friends, I know I made the right choice in my car. I love it, it runs great, and it looks great. I can't what to trick it out, and really blow some socks off.

I'm new to the Toyota world, this is a very good site, I'm not very Toyota knowledgable, this site has helped trmendously. I was recently a Honda fan, I just want something different, this web site has convinced me to learn more about Toyota's. My favorite body style is the MR2. What is the best performing year? I'm a performance freak. What would be the best for me?

John Tripp (66015.rpa.com)
After 30 years of owning every early Porsche model, my creeping geezerism and kids-in-college poverty syndrom have sent me on an expedition to find a more economically manageable sportscar that has these attributes: A kick to drive but has personality- unlike the overengineered cars of today; Will not strand me up in a mountain road in Timbuktu like classic cars can do; has a musical engine and exhaust note; air conditioning; a t-top; costs under $12k for a car owned by an anal retentive sportscar freak, and upkeep is more reasonable than paying over $500 for a service. Having never been near an MR2 this website is my first grade tutorial toward a decision in purchasing something in the winter of '00 in Southern California. Great website!
