IL Derek from IL

Hello, I'm Derek. I am looking to use some FC parts on my 91 MR2. That's pretty much why I'm here, but I am also reading some other very useful info here as this place seems full of it.

Here is a before and after of my MR2 engine bay. Did all the work myself.

Welcome, Derek.

Maybe we can talk you into getting a 7...

I actually had an FB for a little while. It had a lot of rust and the engine was worn out. It got scrapped.

I want to use rx7 front end parts. Front Mr2 spindles are made to be front wheel drive and they are large, heavy and have little dust caps where the axle would go.

I am shooting to use rx7 spindles with rx7 tokico HTS struts and rx7 brakes. I will have to adapt the lower control arm and tie rod.

In December I took my MR2 on an 11 day 4,400 mile roadtrip to Texas and Colorado. Here is a pic at the top of Pikes Peak. It was always my dream to climb it when I got my car done.
