This car is one of the most under-rated sports cars around!
I have had mine for a few years now and have done a few changes to it, and 
it s a riot to drive. No other affordable car makes their driver feel so good or 
smile so much.

The stuff I have done!.....
Replaced, changed or added:
- Steering rack
- Brakes and all brake peices
- Stabilizer arms
- Tires ->now using Michelin XGT, they are good tires but not great tires
- Headers ->TRD Header
- Exhaust ->HKS Exhaust (What happened to that Cat converter!??????)
- Air filter ->K+N and I highly reccommend them.
- Paint Job ->done in summer of '96 due to little "Mishap" with a ditch.
- Struts
- Fuel filter (you wouldn't believe the difference this makes)
- Lower front Vallance or scoupe ->That silly cat should have not ran in front!
- Tranny ->Converted my auto to a manual just recently. Not a hard job and well worth it!
- Radio and speakers ->Pioneer cd and Pioneer speakers.
- Rims ->ASA 5-star, silver/Grey with clear coat.
- New darker tint
- Use 94 octane gas
- Use 10w30 Synthetic oil

Since I have owned this car I have had only one insurance claim and that was when I 
put my car in the ditch. Caused $2600 Cdn in Damage.
I have had 1 speeding ticket. Was caught doing 120 Km/h in a 80 zone. Ouch!
Since I put my new tranny in I have been able to beat unsuspecting cars at the 
light. I beat this one guy in a new Pontiac Grand Am and when the race was over he 
slammed his fists in the steering wheel in frustration. I of course laughed.
I take pride in keeping my MR2 spottless and shinny. E-mail me on some of my tricks. 
I also love hearing MR2 stories from races to tickets. Send me yours!
And remember: Dont be affraid to let 'er rev, because that's what the engine loves to do.
