MR2 Thread

Almost completely finished with major mechanical issues, then to move on to body work...

Mr2's are lame

That's boring
I want owners bitching about which model year is best

you're telling me. you'll love pic related

roads less so, just the rocks.

aw11 for 80's and fun
sw20 for GT racing
z30 for racing

when you repaint, keep the paint style original please.

Original as in an original Fiero style, or original as in what it is currently?

fiero style i guess. factory paint schemes.

Aye I love a good MR2 thread!

Mine desperately needs a suspension overhaul.
Hopefully I'll be dropping in a 3stge or turboing the 4age this coming summer.

Almost dropped $3500 recently on a very clean AW11 but the more I was talking to the guy the more "oh yeah I forgot to tell you, this is wrong with it" things kept popping up. Also came to the realization that buying a 30+ year old mid-engined car as a daily driver probably wasn't a great life choice.

Settled on an Audi TT instead but I'll always have a soft spot for the AW11's.

I need help deciding.

I have two MR2s, one with a 20v blacktop swap and one with a 4AGZE Supercharger with an upgraded pulley.

I might have to downsize and only keep one but I love both so much.

i miss mine everyday. drive safe

SW20 a best
AW11 a fun
ZZ30 a lotus lite

You will be much happier with the 3stge swap

How well does it fit with ITB?

Revision 2 and 3 SW20's that are made after 93 are the best of the SW20 line.

>no snap oversteer meme

>that 242 hp 3S-GTE

Not possible with a turbo.

93+s are not better suspension wise
they toned down the suspension to the point where it understeers

crap designed for shit drivers

Rubbish. Changing the rear toe makes it just as responsive as older models.

all models are great and have their own niche.
I kinda don't like sw20 tho

meant just 3sge

sw21 i meant

who /20valve/ here

Factory paint for Fieros was only solid colors I think, unless you got the '84 Indy and the '88 Formula came with stickers. My formula is factory red

blacktop/silvertop or supercharger?

4age vtw

Those of you who have replaced the water pump, how did you put back the water inlet housing?

I'm following a guide online and as much as i try to force it the pipe that attaches to the housing won't let me get the bolts in straight (it pushes the housing towards me). They end up bending as I struggle to get the housing on flush against the block with the other hand. Circled is one of the two bolts I can't get on right.

I just want to hear what the correct method is.
