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

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

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!
