ween191 · 06-05-2006, 04:27 PM

Yes, I love my NA...but I want around 250 whp so a swap might be in line.

michaelmr2 · 06-21-2006, 07:45 PM

I loved my NA...

Till I got a Turbo.

phzoinkMKII · 06-23-2006, 07:13 PM

I don't hate my NA, but I do think it hates me

Weasy2k · 06-23-2006, 07:48 PM

MY n/a 5vz is great

BADMOJO!! · 06-27-2006, 01:47 AM

Yeah, I love my n/a. But, I have to admit I've been bitten by the V6 bug and after 4 loyal years of n/a service I think it's time for a upgrade. 5VZ-FE YEAH BABY!!!

Blackemaretwo · 06-27-2006, 10:47 AM

What mods do you have done that got you in the 14s?

osoRiceMR2 · 06-27-2006, 11:42 AM

dont really like the n/a, but the price was right, and body was perfect. overall i love this car.

mr220v · 07-07-2006, 12:43 AM

I love the NA mk2 now that i've thrown my 5sfe in the dumpster (literally). The 3sge fixes everything I hated about the 5s. I dropped .163L (8%)of displacement, but I sure don't miss it.

Oteck · 07-07-2006, 01:25 AM

i love n/a... aslong as it's not 5sfe powered :P

Jason.MZW20 · 07-07-2006, 10:58 PM

I love my N/A. Since it has virtually no power, it's an easy car to learn how to drive at the limit. When I move to my 1MZ N/A, I'll have to be more careful.

In any case, I have 2 N/As:

White - 5SFE powered
Red - 1MZFE powered

There used to be 3 5SFE powered cars at my house: my red and white N/As, and a 2000 Camry. You think Toyota fixed the leaky valve stem seal problem on the 5S? Think again. The 2000 Camry has the same problem.

wagonis · 07-07-2006, 11:37 PM

I just got my first MR2 and it is a 91 NA...and I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! Now granted, I never drove a Turbo MR2 but driven other Turbo cars (300Z, WRX, Turbo'd Civic HB, etc), but even without a Turbo, the NA MR2 is still just as fun to drive.

Raptor13x · 07-11-2006, 09:21 PM

^ As fun as it is NA, it's exponentially more fun turbo.

The best part is the sound of the turbo spooling right behind your ear.

wagonis · 07-12-2006, 12:00 AM

Actually, I am going to take my NA and garage it while I start working on the body and then do a 3sgte swap...I love my NA, but I need more speed.

Just Wong It · 07-29-2006, 05:15 PM

its a great gas saver =] thats all im happy about dotn need for the power yet...

mr2slow4you · 08-07-2006, 06:41 PM

With that damn alaskan pipe line, I am wishing I had a gas saver.

TomsMR2 · 08-10-2006, 10:44 PM

i dont really like driving stock 5sfes.. its almost painful. with a few cheap cheesy mods, its fun to drive and can actually get out of its own way. add cams and its about as fast as a stock turbo.

CyFi · 08-10-2006, 11:35 PM

do cams change gas efficiency?

Raptor13x · 08-11-2006, 06:18 PM

^ They can.

TomsMR2 · 08-12-2006, 03:12 AM

it should make a 5sfe run even richer.. the cams on their own are going to let the engine take in more air.. ideally the ecu would add a proportionate amount of fuel to compensate for the added air.. on the 5sfe its just gonna dump gas in until you tune it. the 5sfe really needs "tuning" when its still stock.
