The AW11 is the genesis of Mister Two: the first generation of Toyota's mid engine trilogy. The AE86? that's AW11 we have at home. This is a 4AGE just like that tofu car you love, but it's in the back. Still rear wheel drive, still has pop ups, and it's ready for you to fill with fidget spinners and vapes and whatever else you crazy kids like.

This puts a smile on my face looking back 2 years ago, I bought my 1989 mr2 from a guy 2 hours away who pushed the car out of a shipping container. He didnt even look at the car before having me come check it out. After pushing it out and thinking it didn't run but was in excellent shape we shook at $3,000. As a joke i turned the keys and it started. Drove all the way home no issues.
And then everybody clapped
Nice Find!! Mine Is Rebuilt.
@@dan-othemando7958you rebuilt the whole engine
are u salling it?
Toyotas just don’t wanna die, I worked at Toyota here in Florida for 2 years. I was an aw11 with 267,000 original miles on it, and the freaking bolstering was CRISP. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Started watching a couple of months back, and now you guys are like my go-to car channel. The "big" name car YT'er I just lose interest with their dragged on videos. I gotta say for a channel this small, the quality is insane. I just lurk and don't post comments like these, but I had to do this one time. At first I thought Netgear was some weeb that named himself after a router for some reason, but now I absolutely enjoy the knowledge he drops on us.HOOD CERTIFIED and doesn't care about getting his PP Slapped!!! REAL OG
He is 100% a weeb named after a router but thank you king
as an aw11 owner i was waiting for this video from you guys
Been looking for one of these for months, PNW has nothing but broken rustbuckets with prideful owners asking $4k
Could always import, but a nice jdm one will cost a pretty penny
Found one running and driving a little bit for 2000 looks pretty nice and one that's not timed and one quite rusty for 3600
@@user-ty6we2sp2m where?
@@thumbtak the 2k one straight dissapeared off marketplace not sure what happened. But the 3,600 is in Kent WA. It could run I bet it's just not the nicest in looks department
@@Patrick-nm2rk there way more expensive in Japan than they are in America from what I've seen
The amount of side tangents that happened in this video is amazing I love it 10/10
These are awesome cause their relatable. Judging cars I can’t afford and feeding the facebook marketplace dumpster fire.
that pick n pull part was fuckin gold, this one time i walked out with a shift knob and a rear ashtray from an ls400 that i didn't pay for, bro inspected my bag and clearly saw them and said "yep you good to go".
Just found this video and I recognized the AW11 you guys started talking about around 1:17. I actually sold the guy the spare red transmission with that exact wooden tray pictured at 2:10, as well as the old 16-valve engine out of my AW11. Guess he never did get around to getting it working properly.
Small world lol.
Aw11 owner and enthusiast for 26 years. These cars are solid and great drivers cars. Much fun. They're way to heavy for their size though unfortunately.
the aw11 is for us who want a fun NA mr2, the sw20 is only cool if its turbo or has a dumb swap
K swaps should be a crime
@@CollectorCarFeed 2gr-fe swap is the way to go for the sw20
@@CollectorCarFeed I agree to the degree that it’s a great engine for cars with no character like civics but it’s almost as brain dead as LS swaps
The BEAMS SW20 is plenty of fun. I have one and its amazing
a video about the mr2 spyder would be nice, since they are going up in price now
Finally the AW11 episode!!! AE92/Ae82 would be an interesting episode in the future as well
I think we actually did the AE92 once and there were about four of them in the entire country. Would not mind one for a daily
As an MD native, Crazy Ray's is incredibly based
Wish I was at the Crazy Rays taco truck rn
There’s some good crab cakes near there as well!
0:24 difference between the boomer stuff and the new jdm stuff is that no one is making parts for the jdm stuff and original items are hard to restore compared to the older cars. So you could have a basket case impala and restore it. Hard to do the same for an aw11
I hope somehow laser printing fixes that problem, or something....I mean there's a market out there & now the prices are going up & a lot of JDM cars are making their way to the usa
@@thisistheend_777 something is halting the market for this stuff and no one has the answer.
Over here the coolant at the pick n pull is free. They also have the gas out of all the cars for free. When I had my old Subaru Brat with the super low compression like 7:1 ratio engine I used to fill up there all the time. That thing would run on Coleman fuel or Naptha, that's how low compression it was. Gas for free, I could drive for thousands of miles for free. The free coolant is good if you have a leak and are waiting a month to get the only available radiator. The batteries are genuinely a great deal. $20 even for a huge Group 31. I have some that I bought 5 years ago and they still work perfectly. They do desulfate them before selling them. They also have weird and expensive sizes like the tiny H3 which is the only battery that seems to fit in the space in my 79 Subaru. A lawn tractor battery also fits but doesn't have enough reserve capacity for my taste. Original battery was a weird size NS40Z but they are hard to find too. My mom's Jetta TDI has one from the junkyard and it was bought 5 years ago and it starts fine even in -10 degree temperatures.
Nah what we need is a h-pic of all the iterations of netgear together
i once looked at an aw11 on marketplace. The seller was bragging about how it had a silver top 4age in it, but he later said the engine had rod knock and the whole car was fucked. Lmao
As a supercharged AW owner and someone who's ground up restored the car and had the engine refreshed with a fully rebuilt 4AGZE with every JDM bolt on of the era you can name and every single desirable OEM rare part not every AW is the same...
That being said if I had to do it again I'd get an NA and make a race car. Albeit having owned and driven all three generations the third gen is the best the AW11 is the second best and the SW I have never fallen in love with. Handling and chassis dynamics wise the AW11 and the ZZW30 are the most "MR2" in spirit the SW was trying to be upscale and in a way aspired to be a NSX but it can never achieve that level. The turbos are fun but you definitely feel the extra weight in the SW chassis.
PSA: The fuses, relays, emblems and clocks at pick n pull are free, you can take them home. But don't take the ducks, the ducks are not free.
Anything that fits in your pockets or you tape to your legs or you throw over the fence is free
@@CollectorCarFeed😂
I live for these daily vids, never stop❤
5:00 i actually like that back man, normally idgaf really about 240s etc etc but this mr2 looks cool imo
It’s true, I like looking at them
The AW11 is easily the BEST of the mr2s
Indeed!
15:27 COLLECTOR CAR FEED N THE GANG GOES TO PICK N PULL TOGETHER?? NICE VIDEO??
My boy used to have one of these with a silver top 20V in it that car was a pocket rocket wish he still had it
Five years ago I owned a 87 MR2 supercharged, it was a total nightmare I could never find parts lost 7 Grand on it when I sold it, I paid way too much for it's to begin with. I don't know what I was thinking. Don't buy an old Japanese car unless you can buy an exact replica for parts. It probably goes for any older car.
There’s plenty of quality aftermarket performance parts for the 4age engine, honestly quite literally anything you need for the car is readily available ????
I have an 86 MR2 it's in really good shape besides the fact that the timing off what with the 4AGE being a non-interference motor it's still fires and runs Wicked fun cars and it came with an old Jack handle for a Hood prop
Im 18 and own a 89 Toyota MR2 AW11 lol
Lucky!!
I remember my dad picked up a decently clean no rust Supercharged AW for 2k in 2002.
Things changed big time haha.
Finally the Aw11 Gets Some Love..... Wonder How My Aw11 Stacks.....
get in the discord and show us, we love MR2s
@@CollectorCarFeed Lol....idk if I can take the criticism....I had somehow ended up putting anime stickers on it...Maybe ill post a video X^)
@@CollectorCarFeed Im too Awkward irl Made a Quick Vid On My Mr2.....

I loved the pick n’ pull conversation :D
This episode was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Woah, i was just looking at these 5 minutes ago, neat, but yeah aw11s are rustbuckets for cheap, anywho, great vid as always ccf, keep up the great work
funny i was looking at mr2 yt videos and i see the mr2 i bought at 21:33 , ended up getting it for 5k, painted it black and got new rims, has been running perfectly with no issues too, great car.
These AW11s are ACTUAL death traps. No ABS, no airbags, super light MR layout, might as well be made of sheet metal. Cool af though... If there's ever a correct way to hit a tree going 55mph, it's the AW11 😂
Its actually the 2nd gen that claims more accidents over the other gens lol
I own a clean AW11 with koni suspension and 205/50 R15 tires. You have to drive it really really hard to get the back come after you. My NA Miata with similar setup oversteers much faster. Yes it's better controllable but like I said. You have to drive like an idiot to get the AW11 to oversteer.
@@elitristan3601 i think the lightness helps keep the aw11s from snapping, less weight (especially less weight up high) keeps it less prone to fast weight transfer upsetting the balance.
That's what makes it fun. Makes You Actually Drive the Car.
aw11's are solid AF you wussy little worm.. hahaha no abs.. sook
I just got a aw11 😅 had a spyder for a little bit but stupidly sold it and always wanted the first gen
I just bought one a few weeks ago, owned two in total. Motor blew up, so I'm swapping it since people want an arm and a leg for a 4AGE. They're great cars, but finding parts is quite difficult.
Man I had an 1985 as my first car, then had a 1989. I miss that car. Slow as balls, but so fun on the turns.
I am STILL looking for one of these in not-totally-rotted condition if only so I can stuff a modern Corolla motor, a Previa's AWD, and a Mazda supercharger into it
Finally! I've been waiting for that one, just bought one, It's a peach, basically perfect. But over here in europe they're like 3x more expensive than in the states...
I've been looking at these for monthsss. Its kinda funny seeing someone else evaluate all the listings I've diven into for a long time. Is it stupid to want to buy a car you've never even ridden in before? Also a AW11 for a first hobby-car seems like a dumb idea (but then again that's the point of a hobby car).
oh yeah I was not born in the 90s as a reference
I love that interior. So cool looking. But the 80s Isuzus are even cooler with all the unusual controls. My favorite is the digital dashboard in the Oldsmobile Bravada though.
80s cars go hard
Just found this channel you guys are great just subscribe
I still stand by pick n pull crack being the best
The AW11 at 6:00 absolutley F*&ks. That thing cleaned up on some 80's BBS RS would be super clean.
as the owner of a shitbox aw11 these cars are either shit or mint. they are hard to find in good shape
This Is true......Took a while till I found mine and its rebuilt, but the engine was clean.
Funny that this gets posted after I found a nice pair of MR2 bucket seats for fifty bucks. Can't wait to throw them into my 83' Nissan 720.
Ive got a stock NA 4AGE and would love to swap to a 20 valve and turbo it
Can confirm, am zoomer and I love the aw11
Miss my aw11 every day, it was a pile but it was my pile. A more civilized weapon for a more civilized age.
Its a flocked dash because finding a MR2 dash that doesnt look like a dry lake bed is nearly impossible. Last time I saw good condition dash for sale the seller wanted $2k for it.
I like cheese, I like the cheese wedge. More room is better than the newer MR2s but obv more reliable since its not a 30+ yr car lol
16:20 ya'll aint never worked in the heavy truck scene eh? You'll see exhaust flexpipe like that on all the billy big rigs. It's cheaper than bent exhaust elbows, by alot. A 10ft section of 5In flexpipe is less than four exhaust elbows of the same size. Rare to see it in such a small diameter, but i know it's out there.
Now I want a pick and pull burrito.
There’s a 240sx for sale in Richland Washington you guys should check out for your next 240sx video, the car is wrapped red in the front and then fades to black. You guys should check it out for the next video. Wanna see your guys’s opinions on it
pick and pull beer side hustle gotta make crazy bank
Lmaoooo the title
I bought an AW11 in better condition than all these cars for $1000 bucks at a dealer auction in 1998. How times have changed.
I've been rubbing my hands for the last 6 years picking up a nice Mr2 SC for 5k
I saw tht MR2 that caught on fire lmao. Tht guy is expecting some money from that lol.
now, idk about the states but around where I live the AW11 MR2 is either slightly rusted and 100% salvageable for around 4 or 6 thousand (think like a pretty bad case of rust in maybe 1 or 2 spots but the rest of the car is in nice condition) or it's completely ruined and overpriced (think 2k for a car you'd need to sink 10k into just to scrape the bottom of the road legal bin) Otherwise they're in good condition and over 14k
3:50 is this how normal japanese car people feel about bosozoku?
And this is where the 'keep it clean for x years and the price will go high' theory goes to failure. Exactly the same shitbox, but in Corolla body costs at least twice the AW11.

i love aw11's, but i dont love them for 10k
About time the aw11 was worth more. A car from a cartoon has been worth way too much for years when the aw11 is a much more unique vehicle.

if you were looking for a video where 3 guys are crying about the condition of 30+yr old mr2s,you found it,the price on aw11s is going to skyrocket,every yr they are harder and harder to find
Maaaan how are all these cars so cheap over there😭, here in Italy they go for like 10-15k
Same in australia, i thought thed be cheaper because were closer to japan but there also like 15k and up, and the second gens are around 20k over here
Just wait till they discover the Nissan Pulsar!
Can confirm crazy ray's is insane, i found a fucking gamecube in the back seat of a landcruiser one day and made off with it when i was 13
@17:28 the red one with the black hood. Common problem. I bet on a bad relay. COR or fuel pump relay. Had that same problem twice. If the engine and transmission are good most repairs are easy to do. The only repair that's really a pain in the a** is replacing the fuel pump.
i did that once on my aw11, i hope i never have to do it again.
As a zoomer with an AW11 who also convinced a zoomer friend to buy one. Yeah, ours are cheap shitboxes.
I love pick n pull cause I can just teach how to take a part cars. But I fucking hate that the nearest one that has my car is 3 cities away
I found a set of Nismo floor mats for like 8 bucks too
The first mr2 they showed was the one on fire I actually got a look at in person it’s really not worth it they originally wanted like 3 grand for it
Ok so I had gotten a sw20 mr2 3sgte swap for 3500 4 years ago . When I sold it the car was still easy to find for 4k decently running and now these mr2 price are insane . Not even worth it tbh just get a loan and get the new mid engine corvette . Plus the parts for an mr2 are expensive too . The suspension was like $900 for the cheap ones and the JDM tail lights by itself are like 600 . 3sgte aren’t that expensive but if I ever get another mr2 I would just k-swap it .
Idk how you guys feel about Saab but itd be cool if y’all look at some
I love the mr2 but it is such a small car, if i ever owned one i would have to cut a hole in the roof or something, unfortunately ive been cursed to never be able to enjoy this car😔
Lol How tall are you?? I would Either start with getting a deep dish steering wheel and maybe a T-top version so you don't have to cut into the roof. Maybe Moon Roof too.
My son is 6’4” and he fits fine. The seat goes way back and there is plenty of headroom. They are bigger inside than they appear.
@@mannycien3247 on a aw11? If so there must be some differences between the usdm and jdm versions, here in australia we only got the jdm version and i cannot fit in my cousins aw11 for the life of me, mabye i could get a bucket seat or something really low though
I started liking the aw11 mr2 then I saw the prices and like yeah no like theres listing for 20,000
I wish mine ran ):
Ninja rocks🎉
worst interior? are you kidding? I feel like I am flying a tie fighter whenever I take mine out!
Guys are funny as shit. Reminds me of the guys I bs about available vehicles and equipment with.
Had no idea it was a 20 valve. Like why? More sht to break?
Why don't you see any of these over 200k? Is that why it's called the MR2, because Must Repair 200k?
Yall should look into c4 corvettes
More reviews c5 or m3ssss, please
20:43 I know what happened here. That car sat at a scummy dealer's lot for a long ass time and it eventually got sold. Guy probably overpaid for it, it likely had jerry rigged repairs to get it to sell initially. I'm glad I didn't buy it, almost went to take a look at it... until I read reviews about JCM.
@ 6:58 Feed clearly said," slave master "

The AW11 is the Cope Car To the SW20, Like the A70 is to the A80. CHANGE MY MIND!
I own both, the aw11 is way more fun to drive. Better on the track too, no cope just facts
I owned one for almost 10 years. If you never drove mr you'll wanna read up on how to drive one and set it up. Sw20 is way worse with snap oversteer.
I thought I was going crazy seeing Zoomer comments preferring the 1980s Z31 over the 90s Z32 300ZX. But I guess they like sYnThWaVe
Good while my fellow zoomer creams their pants for this, I will buy the far superior fiero.
I’ve had both and the Fiero is not superior. I had an 88 Fiero manual transmission with the improved suspension and it was fun, but the engine was crap and left me stranded a few times. The interior was GM crappy and has not aged well. They also sold a ton of Fieros compared to MR2s, yet you don’t see many anymore. The only thing superior about the Fiero is the composite body panels that don’t rust or ding. Damn Chevrolet for not letting Pontiac put a proper engine in the Fiero because they didn’t want it to cut into Corvette sales.
You get kicked out for breaking windows
