Thanks. This has to be the most fun car ive ever driven, From a list of about 65 cars, ranging from dump trucks to an 02 camaro SS...It doesnt have the sheer horsepower, and it doesnt handle like an F1 car, But its just great fun to drive around lol. It is pretty dam fast too. Its basically just a backwards corolla with a chopped down body and 2 seats. lol. The only thing i really plan to do is change the intake and exhaust because they seem really restrictive, Both by looking at them and by the drop off of power the car has after 5500 rpms, And the tach redline is 7500, seems kinda pointless haha. someone donate me a turbo kit! lol.

one more good thing about that car :

every body panel is a bolt on affair
so no mouldings required
even a widebody kit

Nice reliable transportation isphius.

I don't like the "bodykit" thing stuck all over it, it's hideous.
I can't own another car. If I had that car, I'd have a 2ZZ-GE-T swap planned, coilovers, wheels, Cusco roll cage, etc...

I'd have to de-chick-ify the car though... they're just chick cars in my eyes. Same with ZZT231 Celicas and Miatas. Nothing a little work can't change though.

Yes, im looking around for the stock 03+ front bumper and the 00-02 rear bumper. I think the sides are just bolted over the existing sides so ill look. Its a well done body kit, its all in factory holes and mounts. So should be no problem to take off. And its all urethane instead of fiberglass so it doesnt break when it hits shot haha. The thing i like most tho is i can get to my school and back and not burn 2 gallons of gas. lol.

how much does the mr2 weigh? about what 2000 lbs? maybe less?
and how much horses does it pack?

Isphius · 09-13-2006, 02:27 PM

138 hp, 2150 lbs about. Its a quick car. Not amazingly fast, but it goes! Its like 10% faster than my n/a 5 speed was.
