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 |

My DD is a 93 Mr.2 Turbo.
Performance is adaquate. At 130k miles, the only parts that have replaced are one rear wheel bearing and both front calipers. Cam belts @ 72K was maintainance. Everything works, all the time. I think the O2 sensor is shot, tho. The 93 & newer are the ones to have. The earlier MkII had some interesting handling issues that were fixed in the later cars. It is *not* a good AXer in the rain I'll have to AX it in the dry some time.....if the shitbox would ever break. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
