Hello, my friend has an '86 Toyota MR-2 MK-1 with the stock engine, no mods at all. Its a five speed. This car is fun to take rides in, as it handles great (IMO). Hoes does this small midengined car compare the the 2.0L 914 (w/ swaybars but otherwise stock). I like the looks and interior of the 914 better, but does it handle better?
Thanks, Brent |

The MK 2 cars have an excellent engine. They can be turbocharged and make close to 450 on the stock parts. You can also swap the 4AGE formula Atlantic motor into them for a really wild street ride. Can you say "revs to 11K"? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Try that with a T4.
As far as handling they will be a refined version of the 914. If I remember right it has a strut suspension all the way around. It could be better but they are potent cars in any form of motorsports. Tend to lack character though, but that can be changed. |
