Hi all,

Just picked up my new "old" car hehee..1989 MR2 Turbo(Gen 2 GT4 3SGTE).After a long and thorough clean up..here's a pic with the Stivo(leaving on Fri) taken just now. :)

Updates:Nardi pedals installed and engine bay detailed to bring it back to life..it sure did!

Nice work mate. I love the SW20's.

But about the snap oversteer, they pretty much fixed that with the AW11's. They tried to hard to turn it into a sports car, which was awesome when you pushed it hard but would as you say, snap oversteer all of a sudden, giving it a "we're-all-going-to-die" feel about it. But i drove my high school buddies Bathurst edition and oversteer was alot more gradual than the aw11. Might be wrong but thats what i gather

[CHA54]

the snap oversteer wasn't fixed properly until the genIII SW20. It's still present in the gen1 and 2 SW20 turbo's.

cheers mate..yeah..its great fun..let the modding begin hehee

[ADDZZ]

rollamods is correct about the snap oversteer fix. but when you get used to controlling the snap oversteer it is so much fun. roundabouts feel like straight road. i miss midengine so much

[GReddy_ES]

Got a few new gears on the MR2 :D

Nardi Pedals that i installed last weekend:

Tein Coilovers went on today:

Thats all for now :)

A couple of updates:

Redid the interior panels in Satin Silver last weekend and here's the finished product..makes the car looks heaps younger

And also resprayed my Super Advan in Gloss Black to get rid of the awful scratches and give it a fresher fiercer look

Time for a couple of updates...after 3 weeks of waiting..the seat rails finally arrived from J-land..which meant that the Sparco Sprint i got can finally go in..although a fixed bucket..its surprisingly comfy and not as hugging/uncomfortable as i tot..its awesome!

Also removed the whole stock intake box,resonator etc last fri when i received the Apexi intake kit from one the MR2 members.Awesome sounding as always from the apexi pod..highly recommended to anyone looking for a pod..u won't go wrong with this
