MR2 advice?

[Dureth]

snap oversteer is a bigger problem than oversteer (due to a pendulum type effect) the initial slide will feel quite agressive but controllable, when catching it, it will snap back a lot harder so you end up spinning the other way!!

OMG this is so true. I almost killed myself with snap oversteer on the first day I got my MR2. A nice progressive slide on the power in teh wet turned into a pendulum effect with 5-6 changes of direction, gradually moving further into the oncoming traffic with each one. It caught and gripped in the end and I corrected back into my own lane but it scared teh hell out of me.

I've had a lot more respect for it since, lucky that I got a warning with no consequences!

Was yours a rev 1 too by any chance? I've had the back end of mine out in the wet before and it was pretty tame to be honest. I didn't feel out of control at all.

Because you may do this in your spare time?

Must admit, even after 2 and a half years of ownership the novelty factor of my trusty pop-ups never faded.

How did you get it to raise one at a time?

 

[L0rdMike]

Did it by hand.
