ahh thats a tough one..
86's are known for their handling..
but i've driven a stock 86 not that great handling until you drop some springs then it feels better than most cars

shaved door handles??
minus well have 20"wheels on your car!!
no offense its not my cup of tea!

shaved door handles would make the car look cleaner, but i guess thats just an opinion

i kinda dont understand wat u sayin about the 20"wheels, but yea we all know 20" in MR2 dont go together, unless ur a real ricer

and i wouldnt mind seeing AE86 vs MK1

randomxzero · 01-23-2009, 06:46 PM

for me it doesnt make a car look clean..
i dont know its something a honda owner would do.. like when they shave off trunks bleh..

Cjung · 01-23-2009, 06:50 PM

i guess, thats why im kinda iffy on doin it... since its alot more work for something small

im problly not doing it at all but just a thought

randomxzero · 01-23-2009, 06:57 PM

its not much work..
just bleh
i come from a mexican background
but shaving stuff like that on a sports car
kinda PAISA(beanerish)

Yo Alex you said you drove it hard and now it doesn't go into gear? Is the shifter floppy at all? (moves with no effort, some what flopping around?

mk1<mk3<mk2

Davis isn't going to touch it if its not an mr.

I'd take a fiero over a corolla. But then again I do like fieros.

randomxzero · 01-23-2009, 11:04 PM

i drove it and somehow it didnt want to go into gear..
then it went into gear just a bit and i forced it in..
and it was driving well.. but now the shifter wont find neutral and only shifts between 1 and second.. but not neutral..

Davis · 01-23-2009, 11:08 PM

I somewhat think your shifter cable might have snapped. I can come by and check it out if you want me to, 562 baby!

randomxzero · 01-23-2009, 11:30 PM

no cable still works i had a friend shift and everything was moving right..
i know what it might be but i dont know the name.
me and my friend were messing with it and it started shifting fine then it just messed up again..
i circled what we were messing with..

Mark_Dorman · 01-24-2009, 02:40 AM

Is that the shifter linkage?
