I am on this board. pez222 on mr2oc/spyderpez on the Spyder boards.
86 MR2/03 MR-S.
Personally the GT-86 seems to be the spiritual successor to the Spyder, the last Toyota-badged sports car in the US.

it does feel similar to the spyder in its lightness and handling. Almost surprising to get a car that feels this good from the factory.

Even the wheel diameter is exactly the same.

Hey nice MkII us Supra owners appreciate nice specimens like this.

[driftartist]

here are my two old babies. Yes i know the supra is rice with the stickers. I was 17. But i learned my ways and am tasteful now lol sorry hahaha

[arg0naut]

91 MR2 here, clocking in at 193k miles.



Also own the styling predecessor to the MR2 Mk1: the Fiat X1/9

Hopefully there is room in my life for an FRS or BRZ someday...

You can add me to that list. I had an 89 MKI and I also thought the BRZ/86 reminded me of my MR2.

Yup, another former MR2 and current GT86 owner checking in. I had a 1991 SW20, which originally ran a normally aspirated 2-litre 3S-GE. Replaced it with a gen2 JDM 3S-GTE.
