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 :)

WOO Dylan FTW!

Is the Stivo a goner yet? Who bought it?

Didn't some of the AW11's have an off-centre steering wheel??

Old school FTW!

[MR22ZZ]

Still got the Stivo as well... still waiting for a certain person(s) to buy my exhaust, and need to fix the small dent I have in the rear bar.

[Tats]

Care for a lunchtime touge run up Mt Keira during the week? These things are tiny, would handle awesome for sure!

[MR22ZZ]

Headed out and got some nice clear photos today instead of the arty ones :)

As you can see by the plates, I've now committed myself to the conversion :D
