Congrats on the car either way.

Nice score.

The blue interior is really a period look; so long as the car stays relatively stock looking, the blue interior totally makes sense!

sw20 and stupidly clean.

















I hate you.

There's definitely a good number up there hiding somewhere. Eventually the ones that run throughout te winter there won't be around any more

What's the plan for the car other than ripping out that hideous blue interior?

I helped a buddy with his 89 SC. Eventually sold it or him with 25,000 original miles. Thing was the best SC ive ever seen. And yes, I do want to find a good one

Thanks! That's the thing with this one, its so original and pretty low mileage that I may make it more stock and just preserve it. Even if that means it keeps the blue cloth.

I don't hate the blue, I just prefer white over black. Black leather was an option for this year/color but it would remove originality and I'm not sure that I want to do that.

Agreed. See above

Nice find, I seriously want an AW11, even NA I think it would be rewarding for me.

Thoughts on SW20 vs AW11?

[DarkSunrise]

Haha someone's got a thing for MR2 turbos. Nice find!

[themadscientist]

I drove a solid SC AW11 with the HKS overdrive pulley once. WOW! It was squirrely with that 50/50 pivot point and felt like holding on to a pissed off cat, but when you kept it straight, damn, that thing was quick!

Porn; not a supercharger, but still FAPable.

I really like AW11s. The NA is a MUCH better drivers car (lightweight, feels so much more agile) than the SC but the SC is a great little cruiser and still quick on its feet by today's standards.


I was actually looking around every month or so for an 2nd gen NA for a DD before I came across this turbo (I don't think I'll post the price I paid.. it was cheap).


Eventually I wouldn't mind having an AW11 NA to build into a great little autocross car

I'd buy yeller if it was cheap and going to be a track car, but it's my least favorite of the colors
