Mr2 Ita/b

[dazzlesa]

i had a mr2 and a corolla gts. the gts is the better car. way easier to drive and maintain. that rear engine with the tranny installed from the bottom in the mr2 stinks. i think that unless you figure how to produce power then the weight will kill it. the golf is a rocket.

, but am no way convinced it'll keep up with the Golfs in a sprint race.

Maybe it's the drivers!!

Its not all about the drivers in the MR2's case. Lets put it this way, I'd much prefer to see Berran in an ITB MR2 than a Golf.

Until he preps it and drives it like he does his Golf...I know *I* sure haven't seen a built-to-the-hilt MR2. I would love to!

I love the Corolla coupes though...

WE our trying our best to build a built to the hilt MR2.. without spending all the cubic dollars. Right now it is nearly a rolling chassis. Jim Cohen did a great job on the body work and paint and we finsihed putting the engine and tranny back together. since we don't have much money for engine at the time being the motor will remain stock with 160,000 miles on it with new valve seals. (I coudlnt' believe the amount of blow by in teh intake! it looked like the entire intake had a 1/16 inch layer of axle grease) In any case we can always update that later once he gets used to the car. however we are not going cheap with teh suspension.. We are hoping to talk to Lee Grimes(sp) and order the shocks.

The three of us or atleast myself and chip planed to do run enduros with it even when it was destined to be an A-car. Just something to have fun.. Maybe rent it out to a prosche driver or two.. who knows?

No way, Jeff. The Golf III is unbeatable.




Unless I'm driving it at Mid Ohio, then it's beatable by a dozen or so other guys.
