Forgot to say, great MR2 pics all. I didn't know there were this many owners.

 

I should start my mr2online site back up...lol

 

with the way i have my mr2 setup, i have never had snap oversteer. some say that its because i dont push hard enough thru turns, or my alignment is out of whack.

i just think its because i got tires that do NOT like to break loose.

 

R compound?

oh, and far too many canyon runs to count, regardless of weather, conditions, time, etc.

yeah. the mad whopping 120hp (at most) isnt scary at all, honestly. its everything past the 120hp that you gotta worry about.

 

I have experienced some fairly scary snap over steer in my mr2. BTW not12 your car must be an absolute blast to drive!

 

its enjoyable... when it runs.

with the way i drive it, its no surprise that i spun a rod bearing, overheated it 4 times and seized the alternator.

so yeah. i've almost completely rebuilt an engine for it. its in my side room, just waiting for a free weekend to drop the current setup out, and the rebuilt one in.

then i will be back to terrorizing people thru turns at 7000rpms...
