Great idea..

Thats what I thinking. No spyder? They’re not so aesthetic from the factory, but It’s the best performing one of all, Including the AE86. I don’t get the W30 hate. Nice review of the early gen’s anyway. I feel like the car community nowadays focuses too much on aesthetics rather than performance.

I think it's probably rated pretty accurately. All the cars that people want to compare them against have better suspensions or better aftermarket support. It's like a 240 without the community to support and develop it, though it does have its own great community. But these cars just have a less sophisticated suspension setup then the Supra, RX7 and Z. I'll even the Hondas of the 90s have a more interesting suspension but there's only so much room to try and generate a suspension that will have the camber curves. I think Hondas super creative in how they approachee their issues and would be fascinated if they had designed something for the MR2 but you'd probably run into issues in vertical space. They're obnoxious to buy wheels and tires for nowadays though. I got rid of my FD and got back into my second MR2 and it is so much cheaper in running costs. Certain aspects of the handling make me sad since I consider the FD to have one of the best suspensions at that weight but the MR2 is my everyday everything car though it is slightly terrifying in snow and ice. I bought it for it's simplicity and the fact that it's a Toyota and the interior is leagues better at holding up compared to Mazda. I always said I'd never get another MR2 since it was so difficult to work on but then when I was working on my Volvo swapping the engine it was exactly the same aside from some top access reaching. Good solid mid-tier car that's easy to live with and not as sexy as some of the bigger more expensive cars of the time. It's kind of a shame that they've become collectible now. I feel like collectors kind of ruin the fun of communities.

I have the same engine as I have a caldina gt4. Would be good to see a caldina gt4 on the channel

I'm building a 3S-GTE Camry with a Celica GT-Four drivetrain

@@that_xv20 that is crazy

@@demartobey1770 I hope it is 😂😂

Same here, my 3S engine block cracked after overheating. Swapped in the 3VZ-FE and tuned with an aftermarket ECU for higher peak HP than the 3S and of course way more low end torque 👍

@@thrasher10000 smh

@@brians7604 haha you have no idea how much trouble that 3S gave me. Plus the V6 sounds way better too

Nice car, I drove mine daily for 20 years until 2018 (except in winter). Maybe I´ll drive it again sometimes just for fun.

I love mine, too:) Drove it from 1998 to 2018, and still have it

That's because all us guys in SW20's are broken down or in the shop 😉

@@dylan4972 indeed, my sw20 spun a rod bearing back in april

Thanks so much for tips, please share the video to your friends. :)

great car!

true!

that is true!

Mines a g limited late 1986 with 150,000 km's approx on it. The pricing in japan and australia has gone through the roof on these.

@@Mr_jz_12 It's high in the US too. You're basically going to be paying near new car prices now, if it's in pretty good shape, and then you're looking at the possibility--even probability--of 10-15K to set it right. OR. You're going to pay if it's already been set right--but would you trust that it had been actually set right? I've had my JDM ST185 for nine months now and it's been a glorious adventure for sure--I've learned a lot! I'll be replacing the capacitors in the ECU over the next couple of weeks. That kind of rot is the sort of thing that doesn't appear on the showroom floor.
