thanks, im on there as "sleepin-mr2". thats alot of mr2's you have owned!! I love them alot, they are like go carts. Im the local mechanic lol I have done 7 engine swaps so far (3 on my car) but whenever someones turbo mkII is running funky im the first person they call I work on about 5 locals mr2's. I have 2 mr2's in my driveway right now that arent mine

hahaha ya i cant let the car go. I would havea nice ls1 powered SS or WS6 but they are just so heavy and big. Really want a c5 or c6 zo6 though. anyways, I keep overboosting my engines and detonating them to death

thanks. The amp is just a clarion, its only 180watts X2. plenty, im running two polk 8" subs in sealed boxes, one behind each seat so it sounds good for what it is. nothing like my buddy jeff, hes got some crazy 1000watt fosgate amp pushing two 10" subs in his mr2. That thing actually makes your heart beat differently since the subs are like 6inches from your chest (right behind each seat).

[harryredtrike]

cool car,looks pretty good to me.with paint and new shoes she'll be a beaut.

[bigboy_toy85]

Awsome car, does that amp give that import more power? I guess anything would help, lol it looks fast though.

Ps: muscle beats import everytime!

I know where your coming from, but.....


Ive got video of this car WALKING away from a MODDED 01 SS Camaro, from a dig, and a roll. This was also 2 motors ago, when he had the big turbo. That Camaro was big muscle. He had fuel management system, rearend work, a shift kit, ect. And yes he could drive.

I have personally destroyed an 03 SVT Cobra in it as well. Its no joke when you put 300 WHP into a car that weighs 2000 lbs.

I hate rice burners, and imports, but this car has a special place. And I also HATE big "fart can" mufflers, but the one on this car is actually functional.


So dont look at it like some civic.

[The Goat]

1000 watts makes your heart skip a beat.... pshhhh

my old grand am had twelves in 6.4 cubic foot ported boxes. That would make your heart start skipping.

All the guys who roll american muscle need to drive a little import from time to time. It ain't always the fastest thing out there, but just like the original ford cortina, in a true road race it walks all over the big boys with it's light weight an maneuverability.

keep your 8s and twelves, I like a nice high revving boosted 6.


nice looking mr2 bud.

Yea, i'm talking about real muscle, not this moder day riced muscle. I'm taliking about a 75 duster, with a 360 competition stage 2 cam. Edlebrock 4 barrel and highrise intake.

Post some pictures, your car sounds nice!

I like it - can I drive it????

I am a car enthusiast too - and I feel too many people have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to these little lightweight high HP Japanese cars. So many people think that old muscle cars are way faster. trust me - I LOVE muscle cars - but these little and I absolutly hate to use the word "ricers" will not only out perform alot of muscle cars in a straight line - they will run circles around them when it comes to handling. It is like the old school thinking about more noise = more power. not so. I also find this relates to Harley Vs Japan in motorcycles - tons of people that know nothing about actual performance assume that harleys are "fast" - like faster than modern sportbikes. Anyway - my last point in the ramble is something my Uncle tells me alot:

"People who know nothing about tractors buy John Deeres and people who know nothing about motorcycles buy Harleys"
He is right to a point. Image sells!!!!!!!

Anyway what I was getting at was: Nice car, can I drive it?

Also - what does the little symbol and "X" mean on the rear quarter???

A year ago I would of let you drive my turbo, but I have since removed it from the road. I will say that if you have any interest in cars or sports cars and you like having money. DO NOT DRIVE AN MR2. If you do you WILL be bitten by the bug and these cars like to multiply fast.
