if you sold the mr2 what would you get? - Page 5

kramerbuccs24 · 06-23-2009, 03:09 AM

Not necessarily 10k, but pretty realistic

S54B32 e30 ///M3 (e46 ///M3 motor)
LS1 NA Miata
LS1 FD RX-7
MkIV VW .:R32
e92 BMW 335i
06-07 Subaru WRX STi

hmong337 · 06-23-2009, 03:35 AM

probably an s14. i really like those cars and have come close to trading my mr2 for one. I really love the fact that the aftermarket for those cars is good, they look great when done up, and lots of potential. Also, they're a lot easier to work on than the mr2. But I think the winner about that car is that it's got backseats.

a lot of my friends talked me out of it though... the mr2 is more rare and sexier and that's why i should keep it. plus, mine's in great condition and i would be hard pressed to find another one in the same condition.

but yea, no doubt, it'd be an s14. however, S2000's are coming down in pricing too. that would be another option.

i must say if i ever got one, it will be the 2.5 rs because i am pretty sure thats the only 2door version and it looks soooooo good that way heh

For $10k, I might get a Porsche Boxster to replace the MR2.

as clarkson says on top gear, "the engine is in the wrong place" lol

TomsMR2 · 06-23-2009, 06:04 PM

Big old pale mint green cadical convertible with white interior and long bench seats for my harem

Turilyon · 07-01-2009, 07:42 AM

Well I just bought a '93 Mitsubishi EVO I GSR

only 66000KM on the odometer. since winters are rough here in calgary, or can be at a moments notice the MR2 is not the best daily driver for a year round vehicle.

So the MR2 is up for sale and its EVO time!!

And boy does this thing go like stink! Here's what sits on it now...

2.0 Turbo 4G63 Engine
TD05 16G Stock Turbo
AWD, 5 Speed
Full 3inch Exhaust Turbo Back with Fujitsubo Muffler
Big Front Mount with factory intercooler spray
LSD Center and Rear
6inch K&N Filter on a custom intake pipe
Upgraded Coolant Hoses
Aftermarket Grounding Kit
Independent Oil Cooler
A'Pexi EBC
A'Pexi S-AFC
Billion Variable Fan Controller
Zeal Adjustable Coilovers
Cusco Front and Rear Strut Bars

On order already is a new clutch kit and aluminum flywheel... Spec stage 2+

Also a new set of Hotbits Rally Style Coilovers... the front shocks are done on the Zeals and need replacing so I'm going a different direction with the Hotbits.

So we'll see how it all pans out. So far its a rocket. Needs a tune though but AWD dyno's are a hard find in my area but within the next few weeks I'll get it all sorted.

Well, right now if I sold my stripped out 86 MR2, I would get about $12 from the scrap yard

MR JAS · 07-01-2009, 05:34 PM

i looking at trading my mr2 for this
a 1974 toyota crown

at the moment it still has a factory 2.6 and 5 speed but if i got it i would prob just chuck a v8 in it
the bodys been fully restored and it looks sick

i offerd him a straight swap and hes keen but has to get permission from the misses so well see what happens

Jason.MZW20 · 07-01-2009, 05:48 PM

Yes, please. I love the crossplane crankshaft tech. I'd probably kill myself on it though.

boycelaforest · 07-01-2009, 05:58 PM

Sell mr2, for $350.

Then I would save up another $300 and buy a smarty tuner for my diesel pickup that would yield +120hp/+240ft lbs. (more than a 4age 16v).
Whut

Or use that whole 350$ and go out for a night of drinking with 2-3 friends.

Killing myself is the only reason I don't have a bike. That and the huge insurance costs and government levies on them

On the upside my 75cc bike can keep up with my mums integra if I lean forward enough to not go over backwards

Raptor13x · 07-02-2009, 01:23 AM

I'm gonna go for something a bit different here:

1958-60 Austin Healey Sprite

+

or

An example of the latter combination:

YOU MY FRIEND ARE A SICK PERSON... TRUELY SICK

Raptor13x · 07-02-2009, 02:01 AM

What? Just because I believe a Lotus Elise is an overweight pig you think I'm nuts? :P

1300lb car + 400hp engine = profit

oh i know a lotus is an overweight pig
i was refering to your choice of engine
1300lb car +400hp engine = profit yes but
1300lb car + 400hp engine that needs a rebuild every 5000miles = loss of sanity

the rotary engine is the most efficient tool yet created to turn liquid fuel energy into pure noise

Raptor13x · 07-02-2009, 08:40 AM

Which of those would you need to rebuild every 5000 miles? Both the LS1 and the rotary (provided it's not from an FD) are extremely reliable.
