Ahh its been forever since logging on here...but I get an email everyday on how this place wants me back (lmao@auto emails). Anyways, how is everyone doing??


FYI if you see me around I will either be in my MR-2 or 4Runner...






Hopefully ill make it out to a couple meets before the season is over.

 

no rotor power?

 

Nope not anymore, sold my 89 GTUs to a guy in sumner...now rolling a semi-built mr2-t.

I met and still talk to quite a few people on here. So figured I would at least see whats been going on in the community.

Apparently ryan got a mr2?

 

clean looking 2, if your ever in portland hit up the shop group, we have some neat stuff.

 

yeah you sold it to a guy named aaron didn't you?
and if so he told me a couple weeks ago that hes trying to resell it
but wants a **** ton for it.

 

That might be his name, I don't remember. I actually traded it for a boosted civic. Which was a mistake, but I got into too much trouble in the 7. I would get it back, it just isn't fast enough. If i go back rotary its Turbo II. or FD.

 

ah.
im 99% sure it is.
i see it basically everyday and drool.

 

it would be an 89 GTUs
Dual Apex N1 exhaust with the muffler bodys black
The OEM wheels painted Black
Lowered
everything body color matched


thats what you would see from the outside.

Is it the one?

 

yeah i saw it when you had it.
abd drooled over it then and still drool over it everytime i see it.

 

You lucky bastard... I've always had a thing for the MR2... Good to see you ditched the civic for a proper sports car. You definatly need to make it out to the next meet!

 

nice car

dont feel special everyone gets that e-mail if you dont login for awhile lol

 

i sold my mr2-t to build my fc. and now i kinda want my mr2 back.. lol

 

Haha I know, it's hard to note my sarcasm about that in my original post.


I will tell you this, the driving style and purpose of these cars are completely different from each other.

My FC was fun to slide around and was very forgiving with high speed corners and turning.

But the excitement wasn't ALWAYS there. Driving my FC everyday almost got annoying. I don't know, I want another one, but everything about my mr-2 just seems more....solid i guess?

Guess you gotta drive them both to appreciate them.

But they are both some of the best early 90's sports cars ever built.

 

ever drive an FD? feels pretty solid to me, haha. i've driven an mr2 also, a non turbo version unfortunately. but that thing is pretty fun to drive, its kinda hard to push that car though with that snap oversteer it loves to do with all the weight in the back. you should come down to the taco7 meet, i'd love to see your MR2.

 

I will be at the meet, im hoping it stays dry ( doesnt look like it though) the car is all clean right now :P.

Unfortunately I have yet to have the opportunity to drive an FD. I agree with the snap oversteer, there was actually 2 different rear cross members. 91-92 and 93+

They revised it in 93 to be more "safe" because of magazines complaining about the snap oversteer and it being unsafe and dangerous.

The 91-92 is a lot more lively and spirited but unforgiving at its limits. Once you drive one / auto-x it enough, you learn the limits, how to prevent over steer and more so the infamous snap oversteer.

Im more then willing to take someone for a ride in it while there if they wanna see how it feels.

 

How's your head, Nick? I think your FC was nicer to you than your MR-2 is...

 

I owned a first gen mr2 with a jdm 4age redtop swap and LOVED it, drove a 2nd gen mr2 for a little bit and HATED it.

 

All healed up now I will get another 7 in soon enough time. Like I said though its going to be a TII or FD this time around. I can't be without boost for long periods of time haha.

You gonna be out at the taco meet?

 

Nah my sister is getting married that night... Won't be able to make it... I'm hoping there will at least be some eye candy there to keep me entertained... Not a fan of weddings...

 

someone should find me a j spec engine by tommarow so i can put it in the 7 and be at the meet, or else i will be in a 240

 

your ghey
