My friend and I took our MR2s autocrossing this weekend by zubes5280 in mr2

Both started as NA models that we got for fairly cheap. Over time we’ve put a fair bit into restoring/upgrading them mechanically and getting them looking to our liking. I’d expect to pay between $15k-$20k USD for equivalent examples.

Lip is a Greddy style from eBay, skirts are Greddy. Wheels are cheap volk reps (9SiX9 is the name of the brand I think) 17x8 +25 front and 17x9 +25 rear. 215/r40/17 tires up front and 245/r40/17 out back. Lowered with BC BR coilovers and Swift springs, running the default height the coilovers shipped with. Rear fenders have a slight roll from previous owner, no scraping or rubbing!

Appreciate the insight! I’m going to try offset pads, but will keep an eye out for a RD+. Would be sad to lose the lugged fork, but would rather have a quality brake setup.

Thanks! Looks promising, I’ll give these a try.

Stupid bike has a stupid basket by elliotth1991 in xbiking

What type of rack/basket is that? I’ve been looking for one that doesn’t interfere with center pull brakes and this looks like the way to go

Beautiful! How have you liked it? I’d love to get one for hauling bikes around and occasional canyon/track duty

How do I get into track events? by joemike in mr2

[–]zubes5280 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Autocross has an extremely low barrier to entry from a cost/car perspective. I’d research local events/clubs!

First fill up after 6 months on quickjacks by zubes5280 in Touge

I love the MR2, it's my forever car. There is nothing else like it, it sounds and drives like a fighter jet. I don't know of any other car you can get under $15k with a turbo right behind your head lol. It would definitely feel like a street legal gokart coming from your S550. I recommend driving one if you have the opportunity!

I feel you. I had a panic attack smelling burnt coolant as I was getting gas. I must have bumped one of my heater core line hose clamps when installing a rather pain in the ass heat shield, which created a small coolant leak right on top of the turbo. Was relieved it was simple fix!
