Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
The term 'runabout' makes it sound like a car that housewives would use to take the kids to school or do the shopping in.
Mk2 NA Rev1 -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev2 -*- Mk1 NA -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev 3 = all gone!

Trust me when I tell you that it has not changed. If you get someone to translate the Japanes brochers for the MR2, you will find that it is in fact..Midship Runabout two-seater.

yeah, uk brochure defo says mid rear 2. if i can sort my scanner out i'll post it on here. looks like that was the original intention to call it a mid rear two...and makes more sense too.

It does sound stupid as runabout, but everywhere i've read, that what its been called. It must be a translation thing, or just the fact it was called something different over here because it does sound so weird[/list][/list]
But in Japland they use some incredibly cringeworthy names for their cars in english.
If you look at the toyota EPC you will find:
Duet
New model
Nadia
Gaia
Progress
Origin
Sparky
Deliboy
Stout
So it is entirely plausible (and true) that MR2= Midship Runabout 2 seater.
Think about it.

Small turbos - they're not big and they're not clever!
Just say NO to small turbos!
