Well, as a few of you know I've now aquired myself an MR2 AW11.

It's pretty much a bog standard, 1989 NA variant, Australian Delivered.

It was originally red but has been resprayed black (the Toyota factory colour)

So far, I've got some Toyo Proxes 4 (205/40r16) on order to chuck on the light weight track rims (gold 5 spoke) from my corolla for a little bit of fun out at Wakefield Park. I looked at Falken RT615s but I need to get them in 205/50r15 to fit which would require me buying new rims as well, which I didn't consider an urgency right now.

When I drove the car back from Melbourne it had a little bit of steering wobble from 80-100km/h. Because of a flat I picked up near Goulburn I needed to replace that tyre and now the wobble is gone.

I have been amazed how nice the ride is for such an old car (compared to the corolla). It's obviously a little soft suspension wise just from it's age but it turns in so well and is extremely nimble

I can see I will definitely have some fun with this, even more if the future plans all come to fruition

Here's some happy snaps :)
