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.
Im getting urges to sell one of my tubbies and buy one of these, im falling in love all over again! someone put me off before i do it! tell me a nightmare story or something! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 29793&rd=1
The problem is i had a 300zx auto, and it was quick! the only car to have beaten me from standing in my 300bhp zx was bmw 850ci and i think they are 400 plus bhp, i really dont mind an auto box cos im a lazy fecker!
I did a few standing starts against mr2s or various power, but once in 3rd gear the mr2 cant take the pace!
Nice cars and the auto box is really good in auto and manual modes - they have huge tuning potential as well. Not keen on that one but I hate burgundy cars

Very comfy long distance mile munchers but an Aristo Vertex would be my weapon of choice

Decat, exhaust, FCD, more boost and better plugs..... whooooooosh
By the looks of things the supra rear lights would pretty much slot into the ar$e and brighten things up a bit, tbh, i think thats an ar$e to be proud of, you just know its huge for a reason!
Similar engine as used in a few JDM mk3 Supra's isn't it? 2.5, 24v 6cyl with twin CT12's? 260-280bhp?? Thats the 1JZ-GTE, I think? Nice baby brother to the 2JZ-GTE

Cars got a few mods nothing extreme, the engine is in great health.
Forget it - IT IS AN OLD MANS CAR (all IMHO of course).
