I'm a proud owner of a Red 91 mr2 turbo Japanese model ie right hand drive. There are only a handfull of them here in Barbados and they get alot of attention. Insuring them is a killer though. It is standard with Michelin pilots (205/50/15) and (225/55/15)and a single pipe Blitz exshaust. No problems, it works perfect.

Just got on line and went straight to look up the MR2. I bought my MKII in November even though I have loved them ever since they came out.

de mr2 is een leuke en fijne auto om te rijden,en te bezitten.Ik heb een aw11
uit 1985 in de two-tone kleur donker groen en beige.Deze auto is goed onderhouden en heeft imidels 136.000km gereden.Het 4AGE blok loopt als een zonnetje en verbruikt helemaal geen druppel olie.De auto is in onderhoud bij
autobedrijf hermans,waar ik hem ook gekocht heb.het taxatie rapport zegt dat de waarde ligt op;23.500 gulden!niet slecht,toch!Verder heeft die ook een volledige antieroest behandeling gehad a 1000 gulden.Hij is verder als klassieker verzekerd,volledig cassco,naar taxatiewaarde.In de winter staat die in mijn garagebox.Wie weet tot ziens ooit,groetjes edward te wierik

whats the value of a 95 turbo ,fully loaded, with about 60k in extra clean cond. going for.....just curious. i personally think the mr2 is one of toyotas untapped resources. not much out handles this car. unless you are tring to hang with a 911 0r vette. i drive a 91 and look to purchase an extra clean 95 model soon ..... if i can find one

I bought an MR2 a few months ago it's out of this world, the difference with my little babe is that it has been built as a racing car and there's not another anywhere like it. spoilers. suspension the lot, it even had a new paint job done on it because it's such a stunning special car, it shouldn't really be on the roads it's a show car but i just have to, everyone stop me to ask what it is and would I sell it. (it's up for sale now) I've just bought another this also a one off TURBO but has been sprayed a two tone pink, sounds awful? well most people that stop me are FELLAS to ask me about the car, it's beautiful but Oh so FAST!!!!! LOVE THE SITE.

Lots of good stuff. Here's an interesting tip....the V-6 engines (such as 3.4 liter 5V-FE) bolt on to the MR2 Turbo transmission. '92-'93 Camry V6 oil pan and pickup tube allow transverse installation. The truck block already has locating pin hole and bolt holes for the right short shaft. Of course, the TRD supercharger would stick out of the engine cover....so everybody would know! Also, the aluminum V6 will bolt on..... all food for thought.

I just bought an '89 Supercharged MR2 with 54,000 miles on it. I want to work it an make it a whole lot faster eventually. I have a couple of questions and problems that I hope someone can help me with. 1) Is there anything I should do first to the car before I start putting bolt-ons on, 2) can I make an automatic Mr2 as fast as a manual like with shift kits for the auto trans. 3) should you run synthetic oil in a supercharged engine that has been run on conventional oil for the first 54,000 miles? I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions as time passes, so, talk to ya'll soon.

My friend Mike just bought a brand new Celica GTS, and I kept on him to race me in my 91' MR2 Turbo. Finally he said he would and we took our cars out to Scott RD., a windy 4 lane hwy. Knew I could do it, he hasn't stopped talking about it still and that was 2 months ago

Mark Woods (unknown-46-4.chiron.com)
I am considering purchasing a 92 MR2 non-turbo. It appears to run fine but the owner informed me that upon cold startup in the morning it tends to smoke a little due to a known problem with substandard valve guide seals. He claims a dealer could easily repair this but he hasn't because the oil never appear low between changes. I am new to the MR2 and could find no reference to this on this site. Can anyone tell me if this is really a known problem? Any additional advice would be appreciated.

I have been in touch with a company called NEWERA IMPORTS, as I am after an MR2 GT Turbo, and been told these are the best suppliers to source direct from Japan. Though they haven't got the car I want yet, they do have some very low priced cars: How about an MR2 GT Turbo in red - gorgeous condtion with updated wheels etc - for 4,650 OTR! Take a look at their site: www.neweraimports.com

Hi! Saw your webpage address in one of our local magazine store and would
much fascinated. The vast amount of info i get was in fact very apprenehsive and all datas are easily avaiable. I am currently looking for a MK2 however due to the tax break in my country the MR2 MK 2 is more costly to own than the MK 1.
Well, will keep you posted of my car hunt and in the mean time keep up the good work, Cheers!!

Hello my MR2 bretheren my car is back on the road again and I have realized that Toyota dealer service sucks!!! first they misdiagnosed the problem with my car and then when they "fixed" my car which was only a week later than they promised the mechanic that worked on my car (the same guy I bought the car from. which was his winter beater.) "forgot to reattach the engine mounts glad I didn't run into any honduhs cause my car would have been finnished then a week later I noticed a "small" eight inch puddle in my driveway consisting of gear oil (my car was in for tranny work!) it turns out that he (my mechanic) stripped a bolt and didn't think to replace it I filled it back up and plugged the hole and now they want to fix the problem by putting the old tranny back in! which is what they told me what was wrong with it in the firstplace but now they say that it is fine and it was my linkages. so if there is any body that can recommend a good shop to me that is affordable and does !
quality work and knows an MR2 please fill me in I live in St.Catharines Ont. Canada. and bear in mind I am an assistant manager at a gas station.
on another note I want a little more HP so far I have an HKS mushroom filter and a custom adapter on the intake side and a costum center exit exhaust I was thinking nitrous? can my my engine take it? and how much? 50,75,150? and headwork there is a speedshop by my work that wants to do my head where should they spend their time intake or exhaust? oh by the way I have a 1985 AW11 with a N/A 4AGE and it IS THE GREATEST CAR EVER PRODUCED!!! so if there is anyone out there in MR2 land that can give me some advice or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appriciated.

I am proud to say that I bought my first MR2, a beige '87 MK I, last night. The tips your site provided for puchasing a used MR2 were very helpful in my search. I would especially like to thank members Ian Gopez, Mike Beerli, and David Hawkins for the input and encouragement they provided me. Those guys really kept the fire burning and made me determined to keep up the search.

Stereo-problems!
I'm trying to replace my cassetteradio for an aftermarket CD-radio in my 1994 MR2 with built in amplifier. Does anyone out there have an diagram of the wiring? The original radio has a plug with two rows with 8 and 6 wires each, making it a total of 14 wires. Please mail me if you got a clue for my problem...
With the best regards, Arild

This site sucks terribly! I guess the person who runs this site doesn't care about updating anything. Please get rid of that old "IMOC 99 Fundraiser" banner. And also put up new pictures or something. If this site can't be taken care of, then it needs to be shutdown immediately!

I love owning my MR2. It's a 1993.5 2.2L. I plan to convert the car to a turbo and compete in import drag. I am 1/3 the way to completeing the car for the strip. I say to people, you don't just buy an MR2, when you own an MR2, not only do you get a supreme driving experience, but it's like you join some sort of underground club.
