I'm curious too. I know everything is mixable on the mr2. All the bolt holes and mounting points will be the same. I really can't see there being any significant difference. Even the NA's can use turbo radiators if you have the turbo fans...

[masagsxr]

Yeah... daym.... wtf is the difference..... I'm thinking there is an extra line there (either auto or manual radiator) that could be plugged.

[honda_bar]

ask jim to keep his and we can compare it to my extra one

[masagsxr]

seems like the type of guy that will just take the car to someone and not tackling the task himself so..... hehehehehee

Theres a saying, "you can't help people that does not help themselves"

Hey Jim... Pay me for my time and I'll do everything for yah.

[honda_bar]

no doubt, you have ALL the tools. He could have everything done for about 600 with the sound deadening.

That would be weird when the trans is all the way at the back and the radiator is all the way up front.

[Mark_Dorman]

I talked to Aaron about it just now and he said the coolant line for the tranny connects to one of the main lines in the back. So he think the radiator might be a little thicker since the autos have to work a bit harder??? Who knows...

[masagsxr]

cool.. So does this mean the Auto radiator is the same as the turbo? Aren't the turbo radiators thicker?

[mr.asian.m2]

ren!!!! did you make it down south safe??!!! you guys...work hard and get that 2 up and running. work like you never work before. good luck guys.

[datguydeni]

saw fast and furious today saw no mr2 =( very little imports/ japanese cars as well

[Davis]

Oh duh! The trans oil cooler, how could I forget.

Hey guys fun night tonight.

Colin, how'd you like the 55 to 22 on ramp. But yeah dude that's my drive to work everyday. 22 is still a boring freeway even though it has little turns.

[honda_bar]

pretty fun eh? Some idiot in a prius cut me off shortly after that. Now, in canada, when that happens you flash your brights to say "that was not nice,pay attention" so I thought that I should embrace my inner canadian and flash him. I continued to do so, in and out of a few lanes and then I let him go. He tried very hard to get behind me to pay me back (my high beams are REALLY REALLY BRIGHT ) and I took off as I seen what he was trying to do. He tried to keep up but gave up at 90mph as I left him behind at a constant 400ft. He gave me a quick flick at the end but I could barely see his lights road rage isn't something that I condone but when people cut you off sick, then I think they need to be taught a lesson and think twice about endangering someones life... Sadly (I'm not proud of this) did this again when a 318 came SUPER close to taking me out. I high beamed and chased him for 30secs at 90mph just to let him know that he should be careful. FYI, normally I let this go, don't wanna get shot but that ain't cool....

mixxer, 7-8000.00? its a 91, miles? did he repaint it since I last saw it? what is a ct-28, never heard of that turbo I should research it.

Deni, that movie owned.

[masagsxr]

Glad you guys had fun tonight.....

Yeah was thinking around the same price range. He says he invested about $12K total. I don't doubt that since you will have to pay someone for the labor that did all the work etc... Same paint but buffed and stuff.... I wasn't quite sure about the turbo myself but didn't do a lot of research about the just yet..... He is in the $8K+ price range but very very open to reasonable offers and will work with the right person.

[xltinlx]

lol at fast and furious... lets talk about it after everyone has seen it.

[mr.asian.m2]

tin, is it good enough for me to pay to go see it?
