hi all/ just got a aw11 for$500. hope this would be a great little gas saver and\
good project car for 20v.
had a sw20 turbo before and traded it for mkiv. which is now a full race/no tag
fun car.\

not yet on the mki. mkiv is now in pieces/making a full cage and everything is
stripped off. just finished the cage 2 weeks ago. welded new seat brakets and\
steering column to cage this weekend. hopefully it will see track again this august.

welcome!

SpeedballTrix · 05-09-2006, 11:40 PM

Nice... glad to hear you turned your Spyder into a racer.
They make fantastic track cars.

Good luck with your MkI.

PS: It's MkIII.
If you really had a MkIV MR2 you would be very popular since it hasn't been made yet and probably isn't going to be made ever =P

PETC · 05-10-2006, 12:29 AM

I think he meant Supra?

mr2gary · 05-10-2006, 02:17 AM

Mmmm I lve supra's. I want a ride

Welcome to the board
Was there a main reason you wanted the aw11 inseat of the sw20 or sw21?

mr2gary · 05-13-2006, 01:38 AM

i've always liked aw11's. right now my supra is in pieces in my garage. my daily driver is my titan. i just filled my tank yesterday with credit card and $75 max
with credit card can not fill my tank full. i thought i rather spend the money on an aw11 than burning it on gas.

Welcome, Gary

Always good to meet another speed addict.

Who do you race with? I'm running with NASA Midwest HPDE this year with the intention of moving to time trials next spring.

mr2gary · 05-13-2006, 04:18 PM

used to run with hpde/open track years ago. now just mainly speedtrial,redline for fun. not builting my supra to any events really... i don't think my set up would be legal to run anything.
best time at street of willow now is 1.31 full track/no slick.

Gairloch · 05-13-2006, 04:28 PM

That sounds like a blast

Willow is on my list of Tracks That Must Be Driven

mr2gary · 05-13-2006, 10:14 PM

it's nice/ especially the big track/ front staight near 180+mph.(6th gear at 5500rpm)

gary

Gairloch · 05-19-2006, 06:47 AM

Front straight wouldn't be the reason I would drive that track. I've got the longest front straight in the US only a little over three hours from my house at Brainerd International Raceway. You come out of turn 10 put the throttle on the floor and take a nap for 5200 feet
