all stock mr2s are slow as donkey ***** and are ugly as sin. and a stock turbo supra would eat it alive on a road course because it is so much faster.

im sure you can make em fast.

fieros are ugly as sin too but at least you can buy a kit to put a v8 in it.

btw neither MR2s or supras are true sports cars.

front engine, rear drive, 2 seats

so u are saying Ferraris F50, Honda NSX and such are not true sport cars?

The first gen MR2 was the AW11 not the SW. And it was never found in the Celica GT-S, it was in the Celica All-Trac Turbo. It(MR2) came with the 4AGE and the 4AGZE(supercharged). The second gen MR2 is the SW and all of the 2nd gen cars came with the 3SGTE(Turbo) of the 5SFE(NA). The newer of hte SW's came with a the option of LSD and it was stronger as well. Same withe 1st gens in 87 there was a lot done to the block for strength.

To me a sport car is a two seater thats fast. I think we discussed this before a while back. The nsx is a sport car ansd so is the Ferraris. When i think of honda sport car I think of the s2k. imo the mr2 and supra are toyota sports car.

i italic'd true sports car because that is the traditional definition.

now there is not a real standard definition. but usually two seats/two doors/built for speed not luxury.

why does everyone say anythign but a honda is a bitch to work on, hondas are so ------ simple, you should try working on something else and being a little diverse who give s ashit if its hard to work on, more props to you.

I have a white 1985 MR2 that runs perfectly. They aer fun lil cars

The 3SGTE's top end pretty much sucks because of the freak'n ct26 turbo man. It becomes such a bottle neck for that engine. If I were in the market for an MR2, I'd get a NA one with the 5sfe in it, and turbocharge that. The 3sgte exhaust manifold, turbo, and downpipe all fit perfectly. Then all you need is a SMIC, some Supra NA injectors, supra NA map sensor, fuel pump, and then you boost that bitch... wait wait wait, that's my setup!

I havent seen too many of them out there boosted that is why I was assuming with the higher comp ration that it wasnt really liked among MR2 owners. As far as the strength of the block compared to the 3SGTE how does it hold up? What are you running for boost? And is the transmission in the CND models the only difference between ours and yours down south because the base model is almost two seconds faster in the 0-60 and a second faster in the 1/4 mile specifications. As well there are some differences in the transaxle I think.
