So i'm thinking of selling my Integra to move up to an 91 MR2-t.

How much do you think I could get for a 94 LS with 151K miles with I/H/C/E, Skunk2 coilovers/Tokico Blues, and 95 GSR alloys? Not to mention I have a 95 GSR (complete) engine w/ a busted transmission sitting in my garage that I was going to swap.

The dude with the MR2 is asking $6500 and this MR2-t unfortunately is suffering from low compression but has a grip of upgraded turbo goodies, with interior/exterior modification as well.

What do you all think?

 

only $6500? i say keep the teg and get a loan for the MR2

 

my friend is fixing up a MR2-t and its a lot of work...but i think once everything starts falling into place he's gonna have a nice final product.

sorry i don't really know whats wrong...same compression problem is one of his complaints right now

good luck!

 

Hows the aftermarket on the MR2?
Specs? I know they're Mid-Rear drivetrain which is pretty cool.

 

well all aftermarket parts are mostly engine parts which is good. You don't see too many riced out MR2s

 

I dunno if you could get some decent HP out of it I guess it would pretty cool. Kinda like a mini-NSX. :thumbup:

 

decent? much more than 'decent' hp

 

Those things are monsters. The only problem is that it wouldn't make a very good daily driver, but aside from that the car is about as close to perfect as one can get. Lightweight, powerful, agile...PIMP...

go for it

IMO I'd rather buy a bone stock 2 though...

 

There's plenty of goodies available for the SW21 but a lot of it is jap-market stuff. I would say its biggest problem is the lack of airflow into the engine bay combined with people significantly upgrading the power-producing ability of the motor which produces a lot more heat.

Ideally try to get a '93-'95 with ABS and LSD. The '93 got upgraded brakes plus bigger wheels and tires, beefed up transmission with optional LSD, ABS was optional. '91-'92 had smaller wheels, tires, brakes, no available LSD, weaker trans, and also optional ABS. Not a huge deal but I would at the very least highly recommend ABS.

Oh and watch out for snap oversteer, especially the off-throttle variety. :db:

 

I thought all 93-95 MR2s had LSD
