- Once upon a time Toyota used to make fun cars to drive. The perfect example is this 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo. Who would of thought that Toyota produced such a great mid-engine car. With the proper balance of power and weight and a manual transmission this car proves Toyota can make cars that are fun to drive. Check out more about this Toyota MR2 Turbo!

So happy that the MR2 is finally getting the recognition it deserves lately.
It is such an amazing car! I hope I can come across more of them!
I know right? I love the confused looks I get in mine since most people dont know what it is?
@@MRIIMKII It is such an iconic car for me!
I'm actually not. It's an underrated car and I think it's best to stay that way. Makes it easier for people to afford them. But everything is so expensive nowadays that it really doesn't matter as much
MR2 is the most under-rated 90's affordable sports car for me, love mine and every drive in it!
I totally agree with you Chris!
90s was the time of Sport Compact cars. Loved it. Each manufacturer had 1 to 2 cars that were fun aaand affordable. Now 😐
What in the hell happened! Man, Nissan with the 240SX, Mitsubishi with the Eclipse
Great music too best música
In my opinion i think that this is the best channel I have ever seen
You are to kind brother!
@@RaitisRides thank you
Jose Gutierrez of course!
Did over 120mph on a fire red 1992 Toyota MR2 turbo as I was crossing the country on I-80 heading east back in 1994...
Nice video! I’ve owned 3 SW20 MR2s. The second one I purchased new in 1998, sold it after 4 years then bought the same car back 2 years later. My current one ( 1999 rev. 5) I’ve had for 7 years, totally stock, always garaged, full toyota history, with just 47,000 miles
I've been a subscriber for a few years now, can't believe I'm just coming across this video. One of the best modern day sports car designs ever, especially when left clean and stock like this one
New subscriber man. That MR2 got my attention. I agree, it's too bad that Toyota just lost their balls and just want to play it safe. Even the new Supra is just a re-badged BMW. The GT-86 is a re-badged Subaru. I understand making boring cars: Corolla, Yaris, Camry; etc is what sells because the whole world is effin boring. But Toyota is taking it to the extreme. The same thing with Mazda. They also have nothing but boring. I mean besides the MX-5, but nothing else. Yep, the 90s had it all: Supra, MR2, RX-7, Integra Type R, Prelude, 3000GT; etc.
Thank you so much for finding us on CZcams! I really appreciate you being part of this journey with me! You hit the nail on the head!
Really boring from a driving dynamic perspective: SUVs and trucks.
great video! amazing car! I miss my 91 MR2 Turbo!
Thanks for the compliment! At least you got to enjoy her for a little while. Thanks for watching!
Weird that no one mentioned the Caldina GT4 engine in that USDM MR2T. That’s a pretty great engine swap actually
Very good eyes!
Yea, I noticed it was at least a Gen 4 3sgte. I just sold my 1991 MR2 turbo 7 months ago. I miss it 😭😭😭
Good eye!! I also have a Gen 4 in my 91 Turbo. It's such a great modern upgrade!!
Your Assessment is spot on
That is so awesome of you to say! Thank you for letting me share this car with you!
Subscribed because I want JDM car videos! I love MR2s
Also loved this MR2 series Joe. Any performance cars from the 80’s would be great.👍🇦🇺
Thank you so much for letting me share it with you! I will track down some 80's hotness!
Great review.
With a curb weight of 2200 pounds this thing would fly with 300 ponies under the hood. Another great review Joe your passion for cars really shines through. Your channel is one of my favorites!
That is so awesome of you to say! I can't do it without your support! I really love all types of cars! Especially ones that I lusted after when I was in high school!
The mkI had a 2200lb curb weight, the mkIIs bulked up to around 2700lbs. Still a lot of fun with 300hp.
YES!!! I love people are rediscovering them again and can't wait to finish the engine swap to get mine back on the road!
Thank for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the review. I had one of those. Loved it. Also, owned fun cars like a GTI, VW R32, Supra, (many) early Celicas/Supras, 280ZX, 300ZXTT, cheap Porsches, Miatas, Fiat Spyders, etc. I still drive fun cars like a new Miata, a Jeep Wrangler, a sportbike and even a Crosstrek (6MT, of course)...but there are fewer fun cars out there. Pickups just aren't fun, either...even the Raptors and such. Neither are any SUVs or "performance" sedans with paddle shifters and cost $50K+.
I am so glad that you loved this one! You have had some awesome cars! Thank you so much for watching!
No mention of the Gen4 3sgte? Glad to see my wiring harnesses are so widely circulated.
Thank you for sharing your input and extra info! So you produce wiring harnesses for the swap on these cars? Now that is really cool!
@@RaitisRides For the most part, yes. There's hundreds of cars with this motor around. Celicas, rav4's, and a handful of camrys.. Mostly mr2's though.
Thanks for sharing that info! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Miss my 91 hardtop it was a bland automatic with the little bitty 3sfe motor but it looked good and hooked corners like it was glued down
It is a really cool fun car!
Awesome car!!! I always liked them also. I used to own a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S and I miss it. But, I moved on to a 2015 Subaru STI and I love that car. So, time moves forward, but I agree with you about Toyota. That MR2 is the one I almost bought years ago. I clearly remember because I owned a Toyota 4Runner and I was looking to get something totally different. Then I waited some years later and traded my SUV in for the Celica. I owned Toyotas for years and love them, but they just got away from the fun part of driving. Now I drive Subarus and love it even more. Great video!!!
Thank you so much for the compliment and for sharing your personal experience! I really love hearing these stories of cars from people's past! Thank you so much for watching!
Saw this the other day in all black and by the gods is it such a gorgeous car! Really wish Toyota would go back to making sports cars :(
Also loving the new intro sequence! So nice to look at :D
Thank you so much for the awesome compliments! This whole youtube thing has been one hell of a learning curve for me. I would really love to see one of these in black! Thank you so much for your awesome support!
I’m proud to own a 1993 MR2 Turbo
As you should very well be!
Raiti's Rides I just got to my car and my friend said he heard a knock and then metal parts flew out everywhere.... my transmission blew... any tips on where to buy a racing spec tranny for not an arm and a leg?
That's going to be a tough order to fill! Contact Eli @ Induction Performance.
As usual, love the passion. It's crazy how none of these major companies don't have performance options when you buy the car new. It blows my mind how Toyota bought back the Corolla hatchbacks without a turbo performance option?!
Thank you so much for letting me share my passion with you! It really is crazy that they don't do that!
I had a 91 turbo modded to 280hp. Super clean. What an awesome car. They still look so good today. Should’ve never sold her.
I've had 2 MR2's 1992, 1993, and I regret selling them. Thanks for this video
I once owned a 1991 MR2 5-speed manual, non-turbo, in red. It handled great, turned a lot of heads and felt quick at the time, even for an n/a car. My dream would be to find an mint condition 95 MR2 Turbo with leather interior.
500AtTheWheels thank you for sharing your personal experience. That would be a great find if you found one! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks - it would probably be worth a lot of $$$ in mint condition!
Yesss thank you so much . the mr2 deserves to be known
You are so very right!
The mk2 was iconic back in the day Joe! Loved um 😍🏁
So do I! I even like the 1 gen as well with the wedge shape!
Great car, engine seems came from Caldina, all mods very tasteful. One thing though Corolla & Camry from that time are also very fun cars, they were also built to last, could easily swap drivetrain, handling feels direct, and very straightforward to work on in general. Some Toyota sporties could be really painful when time for service.
Thank you so much for sharing your input!
I can remember hitting 140 on a long on ramp back in 93
Hey Joe, don't forget the 86! I own one, ain't no supercar, but trust me: it's a lot of fun!
Beat me to it, can’t forget the twins.
Oh I know for sure! I had a buddy that had one in high school!
You are right sir! I will never!
And there's Supra in the wings... although it's just a BMW Z
I know right! I hope it doesn't suck!
Nice review, Its shame they dont make those type of cars today. I think your audio quality is now better, so keep up the good work. I would like to see a review of Toyota Celica 5th gen.
Marlez thank you so much for the compliment! You never know what awesome 90s Japanese gems you are going to stumble across at these events. I will try to track down that 5th gen Celica for you! Thanks for noticing the better audio! It’s been on heck of a learning curve for me!😊👍🏻
Unfortunetaly I live in a small state in middle Europe so there are not much events. I can´t even find a Japanese car from 90s for sale. guess I will have to import one. And iam glad that you responded that quickly and hope you will find that celica. I would like to see Celica because I want it as my first car...well i have a car now but you can´t call it a car it is a 1998 Renault Megane 1.4L 75hp.
That is terrible to not have access to such great cars! I will find it for you!
I have this exact car (same everything but it’s not a turbo) and I agree totally. Also have a Lotus Esprit and just sold a Porsche Boxter S to get the Supercharged Elise but the point is the Toyota really hit a home run with it’s Ferrari looks with the mid engine configuration etc. you’re right. I haven’t seen even a half hearted attempt at producing a car with excitement and a soul from Toyota since these cars. Mine is dead stock like this one and as hard as it is to want to hot rod the car, somehow I cannot bring myself to butcher up such a pure and unadulterated vehicle. Nice video sir.
Thank you so much for the compliment! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and input! You have one heck of a car!
I loved mine, it was one of my favorite cars. 200hp gocart!
My 91 has a Lexus 3.0 V6 with stockish apearance.
I like it more than my 930 its that good.
That is very cool! Thank you so much for sharing!
Funnest car I had from 22-35 years old, time for you to have one.
Man I would love to track one down!
A lot of it had to do with the dollar to yen conversion at the time. These Japanese exotics ended up costing so much that the appetite just wasn't there. A 95 turbo was around 30K back then. The MR2 was my dream car in high school and I ended up getting one and holding on to it for over 15 years. It was such a solid and inexpensive sports car. I miss it indeed.
Yes, Sir!! And, even the 2005 MR-2 Spyder is hot as well🤙
Poole Thomas that’s another great car! I hope I can find one to do a review on!😊👍🏻
I've always loved the MR2
So do I and it's crazy how you just don't see many of these anymore!
I know right
I've had many cars and this was my favourite.
I can totally understand why!
I have a ‘94 with 70k miles and I’ll never get rid of it.
Home boy just has a random Volk TE37 chilling in the passenger seat haha
He is actually tracking them down to put on the car! lol
Love my mr2 ❤️ make more jdm vids!
You got it! You are very lucky! What color is yours?
Truly a very special part of automotive history. Very underrated vehicle. This car makes driving FUN! Thank you TOYOTA.
1993 toyota mr2 best car no bought!!!
I love seeing these type of cars
I am so glad to hear! There are such a great variety of cars out there and I love bringing them to the channel!
@@RaitisRides well keep up the great work love the videos
kg the great one thanks so much for being so supportive.
@@RaitisRides no problem
You are the man!
Joe, I'm about your age, back in the 90's, we had affordable fun cars plus cell phones weren't a priority yet, now we have a lot of soulless cars, SUVs, crossovers and self driving cars 😢, luckily there is still good options out there like the wrx, focus, gti.......
It's nice to know I am not the only one here remembering these great times! It sucks we wont't get the Focus ST anymore!
I Know what you mean.
I have a 95 gen3 mr2 turbo for 12 years now and I love it so much
The 90 was realy awsome
It really was such a great tome to be a car person!
Its because Toyota wants to remain on the top spots of being the most reliable car on the road. When they start releasing sports cars and anything that requires more engineering they require more maintenance
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective. I appreciate you watching!
I had 15" wheels on my MR2 until last summer. Sadly you can't get 15" tires in the correct sizes any more, unless you go with race rubber.
That is a very good point David!
They are out there but they are unicorns for sure. Tires Direct has them...most of the time. My wife is still rockin' the original rims.
I wanted an MR2 Turbo so badly when I was 18. I had a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 that I wanted to trade on a 1992 MR2, but I couldn’t afford it. You’re right, they’re all hacked up now.
I know exactly how you feel! It really is mission impossible to find one!
@@RaitisRides not impossible, just difficult. For me not so much, in the garage is a bone stock 94 Turbo with only 87K miles :)
Absolutely agree, this MR2, next to some others 90's sport cars were something really special such the NSX, RX-7, R32 GTR, Supra, and just to mention a few japanese models, but italians as the 348TB (Personally love it), the 456GT, 550 Maranello, and german cars, british cars.... Don't want to make a huge list, haha, for me the 80's and 90's were the decades of beautiful modern vehicles, the last time of masterpieces of desing and few with new and pioneering performance, I can't say the same with actual cars of every class and porpose, I don't mean they are bad, but I just can't appreciate them the same way, for me most of them are just fast and crazy modern desing and a lot more complicated to deal with... I'm not even 30, but I love cars that exist time before I was even planned... :-)
That is really great that you love the cars from the 80's and 90's! They really had so much personality and flavor to them. Especially when it came to the Japanese imports! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
from the UK let see more JDM!!!!!!!
Hello from across the pond! More JDM is on it's way so stay tuned!
I consider myself pretty lucky when it comes to JDM's. have owned 2 1991 mr2's and currently have a 2009 4g eclipse, a 1994 3000gt,and a 1986 Porsche 944(was a totaled wreck but re-fabbed up the rear and fixed it) all of them have been excellent cars and very fun to drive as well..most of them were bone-stock when i got them (often in fairly poor condition) but i got them all fixed up and drove the crap out of them. only 1 of the mr2's i've owned did i change the body substantially when i installed a border body kit, static projector headlights then gave it a 4 stage paint job (black base coat, burgundy red pearl in the clear, then straight clear) also de-badged it and tinted the rear lights.The only thing i didn't change was the factory spoiler. Can't count how often people thought it was a Ferrari. or how often people had no idea what it was. good times lol. Though i'm pretty much in love with my 3000gt (only an sl but still hella fun). And the Porsche 944 is what i call a d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f car. The eclipse is my D.D all of them are modded.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience! You have owned some amazing cars! I really miss them!
@@RaitisRides the mr2 I put all that effort into ( total cost was 10g's that I spent on it parts only I did all the labor) is now in a car collection in some ones personal garage. So its essentially being kept like a museum car lol. I'm torn about it. 1 its nice its being looked after. Bad that I built the car to driven not to be a glorified paper weight.
I would love to drive it! What color is it?
IT was black but after i got done it was closer to a brandywine color. youd have to google that color to see it lol. it was just a combination i decided to run with. didn't know it had a name at the time. just black base coat and red pearl/w clear then i ran straight clear on it..about 5 coats of clear in total managed to get no runs in the paint so very little water sanding to knock down the little bit orange peel and it was great. I have pics of it but youtube doesn't like outside urls.
facebook.com/john.k.williams.90/media_set?set=a.3584787097242&type=3 thats the album it sits in hopefully the link works for you
My buddies car it’s super clean. 👍🏻
Yes sir it is! He was surprised that I wanted to review his beautiful MR2!
Hey I have a Yaris hatchback! 🤣 It’s a manual and fun to drive.
But I also have a Mustang GT and a Mazda CX5 so I got all the bases covered. 😎
Nothing wring with that! This is very true you do!
Raiti's Rides You should review my Yaris. With 117k miles, still on original brake pads and clutch. The only repair was the water pump and it was covered under warranty. When in neutral I can push the car with one hand. It’s like a big toy.
Oh wow that is very impressive! To bad you don't live near me!
Where in FL was this?
kmt187 St Petersburg. Are you located in Florida?
Dream car for me..
Obi W. This one was in really great shape!😊👍🏻
You dont dream big do you
@@willmoua1 nothing better to do than to troll in CZcams comments huh? Go meet a girl and give your hand a rest 😂
I'm at work making 90k a year kid. Keep dreaming
I guess it's a matter of to each their own. Thank you so much for watching!
Yes everyone hype up the MR2 so it can finally be recognized as a JDM legend like the supra, rx7 and NSX then the value will shoot up where it belongs. Such and under rated under recognized car
I totally agree with you! I almost feel for many it is the forgotten Japanese star! Thanks for watching!
Yes this MR2 is a legend indeed. i really wonder why this sportscar is affordable where all the ingridients of an exotic is in there like Mid engine, rear wheel drive, sleek design like ferrari, luxurious interior and light weight. you can park this beside a ferrari lambo or porsche it can blend in layman will not notice it is a cheap sportscar haha
does it have the gen3/4 3sgte swap?
US models only came with gen 2 3sgte which has a center feed intake manifold whereas this has side feed intake manifold that came with gen 3 and gen 4 3sgte
Mujtaba Mateen I believe this does because that is not the original motor. Great eyes, and thank you for sharing that input.
Thank you so much for being on this journey with me!
That is a gen4 3sgte. Definitely not what the car came with.
I have a 91 MR2 N/A they need to bring the MR2 back.
Always wanted a ‘93 turbo, too bad they are actually hard to find and pretty expensive in Canada now 😭
It is crazy how prices have gone up.
Raiti's Rides :(
the P1 yaris (2000>2006) is more than fun with some mods, I do FWD drags in a model year 2000 SR 1.3,building a high comp 1.5 motor good for 150/160 at the wheels,cars at 670 kgs road (legalish) spec,drag spec 580 kgs
the yaris shell is 40% stiffer than the starlet,I'm on coilovers for a VR6 golf (made to fit) on r888's I can out corner a lot of expensive stuff
Very cool that you for sharing your input!
I have the 1991 Toyota MR2 2 Dr STD Coupe with T-bar. Original owner.
This is not a stock turbo mr2. Stock versions say turbo on the rear passenger side above the bumper.
Hey-the yaris wasn't that bad! It was my first Toyota and I really liked it. The base hatch weighs about as much as the last gen MR2, is actually 3 inches shorter and still manages to seat 4 people comfortably-5 not so comfortably. They only have a hundred horse power but when it only weighs 2200lbs and you got a manual transmission its pretty fun to drive. You can pick one up for super cheap and they run forever. Perfect college car
You are right it is a perfect car for college or going just A to B, but it's not in the same league as a 90's Japanese classic.
@@RaitisRides Oh I 100% agree. I just loved that little thing lol! keep up the good work man love your vids
I really appreciate you watching! Thanks for the support!
Camry’s corollas and 4runners sell big time. The mr2 / supra and celica all failed with sales and costed the company massive.
I still rather drive a MR2 and or Celica! It's Toyota they could make it profitable. Look at how much cash they wasted with their Scion brand for their Formula 1 team that never even one a single race!
Toyota did there best to push the Lexus brand sports cars. IS series of cars, some of the most boring awful cars I have driven. I agree the mr2 / supra / celica, all classics but sadly gone. I have the same nostalgia with DSM vehicles specifically 1st gen
I am right with you! The 1990's Japanese cars were just so amazing from all the brands!
MORE MR2!
I want to bring more as soon as I find them!
I have a 93 mr2 its fuckin cool ...😎😎😎😎🇵🇷
Tat is so awesome! What color is it?
Oh, were classics.
Btw, the gc chassis impreza is called the classic impreza
Yes sir I totally believe that!
Just wanted to let you know, if the supra sells well toyota is planning an MR2 and celica AWD
I am hoping that is going to be the case! We will see!!
This cant be stock, It is running the Gen 4 Caldina 3SGTE engine
Exterior wise it is.
Love these mr2’s! Why don’t you buy one Sir lol?! 😀😇😍🤓😎🤩🤑🤠👍🤟💪🚗🚙🏎🚘
Nice
I am so glad that you liked this one! Thank you for watching!
I have mine for 8 years now. Love it.
@@TRDboi85 Very cool! You are so lucky!
Not Toyota's fault. No one bought the Supra, Celica, or the MR2. So they're gone.
Toyota is a business and people don't go to Toyota for a sports car.
BTW, I own a '91 MR2 stock with 37k, manual.
I've upgraded to 18" wheels because it looks much, much better than stock
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! It is a really great car and you are very lucky! Thanks for watching!
These were great cars . They called them the poor mans Ferrari.A friend of mine had one and she would let me drive it whenever we went into the city . N.Y. C. Streets at 3 am were a lot of fun back then! But hey Toyota’s getting it together again . The Supra is coming back soon, they’re working on a second gen. GT-86. And there’s rumors that they will be adding a 3rd sports car to their lineup. Either a new MR-2 or Celica.
Thanks for sharing your stories of the past! I really loved these cars back then. I am hoping that this new Supra is going to be worth the wait and not over priced. I hope they bring back the favorites!
Don’t forget about the Fiero lol
I am actually a huge fan of the Fiero, especially a 1988 GT.
Raiti's Rides 88 is when they finally got it right with that car . Unfortunately it was too late to save it..The 84 had a chevette suspension! The 88 Fiero Formula with t-tops was my favorite.
I was about to say the 86 and Supra but those are not made by Toyota LOL.
Camry's, Corolla's, trucks and SUV's are what sell very well for Toyota, which is the bottom-line for them. Owned an SW22 for 5 years, modified the suspension and made some engine tweaks...memorable car stock and modified. Sure the FRS/GT86/BRZ is available, but for me personally (even with time behind the wheel), that car is of no interest, nice car but not for me.
As for rumors of Toyota being intersted in reviving the MR2...seeing how Toyota is handling their sports cars (GT86/FRS and upcoming A90 Supra and what was done to the last MR2/W30) I'd like for Toyota to let the MR2 rest in its history...I can only take so much disappointment, hahaha.
I totally agree with where you are coming from. I still feel that Toyota lost more in the SCION debacle and their huge disappointment in Formula 1 without one single win. It will be interesting to see what this new Supra is all about!
Toyota nowadays has a pretty decent lineup compared to, say like 10 years ago. They have the GR yaris, 86, supra (I know I know it's technically a BMW, but still...). On the Lexus side there's the LC500, RC-F, IS.. I'd say they're doing okay
Hell yes
I am so glad that you liked this one!
You’re right! I’m not even feeling the new Supra coming out. They’ve lost their way. Don’t get me wrong the 86 is still fun but it’s just not how they use to be.
It feels bland to me! I will hold all judgements until I see it in person!
Toyota is coming back at least, but as you say, Honda (S2000, Prelude, Integra), Mitsubishi (Eclipse, 3000GT), Nissan (Silvia), Mazda (RX7), Subaru (SVX since BRZ is 86) ... WHERE ARE YOU???
nes suno where did the all go?
Yep. Toyota of today puts out transportation appliances for the masses and could care less about the enthusiast
There cars really don't have a soul! I am really concerned about the new Supra being a let down.
@@RaitisRides The Supra is essentially a Toyota designed body with a BMW drivetrain. There are documents from ZF [BMW's supplier of automatic transmissions] discovered by Car & Driver that show what engines will be mated to what transmissions in the Supra and the new gen BMW Z4 (Euro-spec data I assume). Toyota is giving up their legendary reliability, with BMW's idea of planned obsolescence. That's a very harsh way of putting it, but unfortunately it is true.
I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst!
Hey I have two of the "classic" ones to review lol...
Well, the 86... and a new Supra is coming.
Awesome car. I heard that Toyota is bringing back the MR2 and Celica. The Supra should be out next year. Seriously, it’s an actual plan. I can’t wait to get a celica😎 if it does go through I’m getting it.
Furby AndElmo fingers crossed Toyota doesn’t drop the bull or make the cars too bland!
Raiti's Rides like the Toyota “86” FRS whatever. ..... looks good but power is ridiculously sluggish.
I know right!
I want the pop up headlights tho!!!
I hope the rumors are true about bringing back the mr2 and celica.
Hunter Bautista I sure hope so! I think Toyota’s SCION experiment was a waste of time and money. They have to know people have been missing these cars.
How Toyota went from this beautiful Mk2 to the (with apologies to any owners!) hideous Mk3 convertible is beyond me! The 90's really were when Japan ruled with their sportscars. I still miss my Z32 300zx Twin Turbo! Lets hope the new Supra kick starts them again :)
Paul Tucker I have my fingers and toes crossed for the Supra to do that!
Who the fuck does power ratings in kilowatts smh 🤦♂️
Good question!
I just bought one and my dad has one aswell. Amazing cars to drive and definitely the best mr2 generation.
You and your dad are lucky guys! Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to watch!
@@RaitisRides No problem, both are the NA models. Plan to turbo swap mine in the near future hopefully.
@@jasonk2787 now that would be hot!!!
How I know this car is from a game, just the name of car but I don’t know the history behind this car
It's a really exciting and fun car!
I think if you want a hot Toyota try their luxury division Rekusasu F (Lexus)
Lexus is great but still not the most fun to drive unless you lay out $80k for a RCF.
Yeah, if only Toyota made a 200hp, rwd, manual transmission, 2700 pound car now...Oh, wait a minute.
I see what you did there! lol
Casually has te’s on the passenger seat LOL
Thanks for watching! Good eyes!
Supra's comin back, maybe even in a manual is the latest news. also even considering the MR2 & Celica. Watch the first 6:30 of Matt Moran's weekly update .. czcams.com/video/YseVTFV-1dA/video.html
I should start doing this because I had found out about them thinking about bringing them back! I am just so damn skeptical!
The 04-09 corolla xrs was the last interesting thing that was affordable that they had.
I am really concerned the new Supra is going to be a let down.
Here in Australia that was a Sportivo version, putting out about 190ks from the factory. Fun stuff..
Boris Boca yes sir it is!
Not really they stopped making anything worth shit after 1998
Sounds good till you have to maintain and get the parts. Few mecanics know how to work on the engine and as its mid engine its difficult to work on and overhaul. Id say stay as far away as possible. Watch your hard earned money pour down the drain and plagued with electrical faults the best investment you could do with this car is petrol can and match. 🤣
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Thank God we have those new bland Camrys, cause those 300hp 2grfes fit very beautiful in that mr2 engine bay and wrecked Camrys are stupid cheap
Now that what would make for an interesting ride!
you were young when it came out, you got excited more about things than you do now old fart, if you were young now, in 10 years youd be ranting about the FRS (91 MR2 Ttop owner here)
Are we just ignoring that this car has a swap? lol
Yeah he blew the original motor. Good eye on the details!
haha well it's the same block that I have so it was an easy call for me.
What year is your MR2?
1993
