i feel like you and i are the only people in the world who think that the sw20 is the least cool mr2.

hey arent you on club4ag?

I have custody of a 2002 MR2 for a couple of years. It's my "trainer" until I get the BRZ.

I had a crimson red '91 MR2 that didnt' pass smog this last May. With over 280,000 miles and a number of cosmetic things wrong the MR2 was retired. I loved her but she had to be put down.

The FR-S came out just in time. I walked into the Toyota dealership on May 5th and put a deposit down on the FRS. My car was the first of their allotment to arrive and I picked it up on May 29th.

The MR2 was such an awesome car (I don't care for the newer MR2 spyder model). One can only hope the FRS will establish itself in my heart like the MR2 did - so far so good but we'll see after 280,000 miles. ;p

I had a 92' steel blue turbo. Died at 173k when the timing chain broke.

Still driving my '94 mr2 SW21.. it's my weekend car now that the BRZ is my DD.. 230K miles and still going strong!

I had a 88 MR2 Supercharged (was my first car) with t-tops. Even after driving a 04 WRX and the 13 FRS I still consider the MR2 a personal favorite.. such an amazing machine.

However! I love my FRS<3

Yup!

I have a 92 SW20 NA TTop in Black. It's done 290,000kms and still drives great.

I had a red 91 MR-2 Turbo which was my first car here in the US way back in 1995. It had a t-top. I traded it in when the engine was 'destroyed' after a timing belt/chain was replaced by an incompetent shop. I loved that car!

1987 hardtop 20v blacktop swapped, can't decide if I should keep it or sell when I get the BRZ!

msile · 12-05-2012, 08:36 PM

We have been through this before......you are not allowed to sell it. It is an awesome looking car!!!!

I put one in my 05 - AutoPower, about $300. It was bolt on for the most part, only had to spend a little time on it with the die grinder...

The roll bar significantly stiffened the chassis. I heard that in doing so, it sort of unbalanced the car front/back and made it even more squirrely. I was going to buy a front sway bar for it but ended up buying the BRZ. Problem solved!

Get a roll bar though - it could save your life!
