hope to be MR2 MK I owner

EvoNiner · 03-30-2009, 09:28 PM

I'm looking at a 86 MR2 5 speed in St louis and hope that with all of your guys help, will make me a proud owner of a newly old MR2.

But yah, i'm from Cedar Rapids Iowa (you dont see any mr2's around...) and i fix HVAC systems for a living. well... on to more interesting things

I am addicted to driving/racing. I AutoX as much as i possible can, and cant wait till i get my new tires to go to some track days. I even bought a X-box 360 steering wheel so i could "race" in the winter.

My 1991 Ford Festiva is getting fixed, and its one of the funnest Who-Cares cars i have ever owned. its a go-kart... but then again i'm talking to MR2 owners, so i think you understand.

My other car is a 2006 Lancer Evolution IX SE. Its my "race car" even though its bone stock. its a real quick fun car. During Auto-X events i happen to get it sideways more then most RWD's... maybe because i drive it to the limits...

MR2's. i've always liked them, and after driving such a light fun little car (my Festiva) i decided i needed to bump it up a notch and look for a MR2. I was wanting to drive her in some auto-x events and as a dailyish driver.

So ya, I'm EvoNiner. Hope to be on this forum more soon.

You are very welcome here.

Sounds like you enjoy driving your cars, is the mkI your looking at N/A or supercharged? You would be the sort of person that would enjoy a mk1.5 from the sounds of it. I like the evo as well, much more than subarus that blow gearboxes if you drive off the factory floor too fast.

If you are going to use it as a daily driver make sure it is up to spec 20+ year old cars don't like lack of maintanance. You should enjoy it especially if it is a supercharged model, they are quick little cars.

haha... as odd as this is going to sound... i enjoy rip-roaring around in my 91 festiva just as much as my Evo. No, its not the Super Charged version, but i dont think it'll matter that much for me. i know i'll love it.
