    Fun Fact: the MR2 was never sold as the MR2 in France: MR2 or 'Emm Aire Deux", phonetically, sounds like Merde, the french word for Sh*t.
    Moog's MRPoo is, therefore, weirdly accurate.

    Those MR2 are a great platform to start from. Bulletproove technology and quality and much room overhead for customization and tuning. The gear alone ist used in many custom projects in other brand´s cars... 👍
