JumpmanYaris · 09-23-2009, 10:42 PM

I say leave it stock maybe some lowering springs

Brian · 09-23-2009, 10:46 PM

Those cars are fun to drive. You gonna get the hard top for it?

Tamago · 09-23-2009, 10:47 PM

black wheels, yes, hard top, most likely. lowering springs, not for awhile (i'm gonna run C stock, so front swaybar, R comps, the most aggressive alignment i can pull off, and a catback exhaust and i'm set)

*tk-421* · 09-23-2009, 11:37 PM

Nicely done, Joel!

ugggggggggggggggggggggggg not a spyder, there the least reliable of the MR2 group and some say wost toyota ever due to the engine issues.

a lot of spyder guys are on there 3rd engine, mostly in the 00-03 range

good luck getting a hard top, they stopped making them quite some time ago, i think ones for sale on spyder chat for 3G but expect to pay top dollar when they do show up.

1st gens are the best for auto X, 1.5 are the best

something like this:

Year: 2000
Miles: 40,000
Driving Style: 48% freeway, 47% city, 5% twisty backroads
Cats replaced?: twice
Engine replaced?: thrice

Also wide range of other engine problems. Traded-in after 10,000 miles of non-stop problems.

1st mod should be replace cats with a header, no exceptions

<---started my MR2 venture in 03

Tamago · 09-24-2009, 01:51 AM

yup, i'll be gutting the pre- cats before the weekend is out :)

Tamago · 09-24-2009, 11:56 PM

don't mind the P&S pix, i can't afford a DSLR

CASTREX · 09-25-2009, 01:15 PM

Awesome car!

And what's with the reliability issues?? Ain't that a good 'ol corolla engine in the back?

*kimona* · 09-25-2009, 01:51 PM

Nice MR2. I've always liked those things. Had a second generation all done up. So... let the fun begin. Geez, that wheel/tyre fitment is disastrous!

the next time you use the word "poke" on a yaris, please keep the above pictures in mind

i'm switching the front wheels to a 15X7 +30 or +25 to fix the poke issues. the rears are gonna stay the same.

Mouse · 09-25-2009, 02:50 PM

I love the MR-S's....But I stopped looking at them when I realized I cant fit groceries in it. It's a great car if you have another car.

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 09-25-2009, 02:54 PM

just like ENVRI'S......

eTiMaGo · 09-26-2009, 01:03 PM

I'd call it "Froggy" :D

Sammakko is the current first-choice. Frog in Finnish.

i'll ge a pro to shoot the car in sunlight. i've gotten nothing but compliments on the wheel color, (actually very close to the interior leather) plus they're filthy right now
