Got my MR2

[ci_newman]

I've refurbed 3 of the 4 of my alloys (corroded quite badly) but its a simple job, just takes time and patience (and some dry space to do the spraying in). I would stick with silver though!

All these people talking about their MR2s sliding and I haven't even done it once without provoking it I'm not exactly light with the right foot either... must be the tyres

It must be the tyres. The only time the back of my tubby kicks out is when I tell it to.

*touch wood, fingers crossed etc etc

I never actually posted any before / after pics when changing to crystal clear fronts... Now is the time i think

So, before:-

And after:-

Well worth the £25 i think!

Its because you've got a rev3, they rock

Rev 5's for the win tbh. My spoiler was described as "very Kung Foo style" by my Ex's mum

 

[Von Smallhausen]

Its a Rev1

From what I can tell....

Aye !!!

Rev 1 for the absolute spintastic, Magnum pi-esque drive off, wet roundabout japes win !



PS.

If it's not a turbo, get one fitted.

It'd be actually cheaper to sell the N/A and buy a tubby than to pay for the cost of a conversion! Along with a completely different wiring loom and engine its far easier too

A better idea is to spend some money on sorting the suspension out to stop it being leary.. THEN start some engine upgrades

It does seem that this gent needs to learn how to handle the car before sticking anything faster in it though..

You won't get much out of tuning an already highly sprung engine. There isn't much you can do. Money would be much better spent on chassis IMO.
