you can also search on xcars.com, seveal types of cars but mostly mr2's. just be sure to click on the arrow -> at the top right of each section to get the full listings. love my 2, the mid engine traction is awsome. if you auto x, it is one of the best cars to have.


7thsign i saw you at imstar. very nice clean lookin mk2. i can't wait to see it when you get more done. i was ther in my gsx, i ran crap though (clutch master cyl. took a crap, just installed act 2600). i was only able to run a 13.0, my team mate ran an 11.9, and that was coasting the last 300 feet. he wasn't able to get clean runs. kept blowing ic hoses, different ones each time.

hmm gsx? I think I have some of your runs on tape! My gf was in the stands recording all the runs. Nice car man!

Yeah my mr2 is a work in progress, still needs a lot. I am only boosting at 8psi and untuned. Also on stock intercooler as well. My next step is an aftermarket intercooler and a stand-alone. I would like to max out the fuel system which is at 270whp. I think I can do this with only 10psi. It is a large turbo and good for 500+whp so I have much more potential in the car. Just not enough money Take care man!

thanks for the info and links, very helpful...

more info on the car:

92 MR2 Turbo 3SGTE engine
120K stock miles
single owner (mid-aged guy)
All maintenance records
engine compression tested fine by my brother's shop, not sure the numbers though.
there is only one ding on the whole car, stone hit on hood, otherwise not a single rust spot, this thing has been garage kept...my brother is a used Toyota/Lexus dealer and has never seen a MK2 in better stock condition....means this thing is the perfect shell to build up from...

Insurance for full liability only with my 91 Accord is $410 / 6 mo. premium....about $300 less than I am paying now with the Prelude and accord on my policy. Can't beat that.

I'm keeping this car, selling my Prelude.

Anyone looking for a mint, Electron Blue 2001 Prelude 5 speed with 42K miles?
