After 6 months booting myself around in a corolla I've finally booted it out via the trading post and got myself a 90 MR2 GT.

Only thing I've done to it was remove the flaming wing :burnout:

Hurrah! Hope to catch up with u guys soon.

UPDATE: New piccies taken of the 2:

goes damn hard in 1st and 2nd. Prolly why the standard car has those really low 0-100 times. But thats about it.

3rd, 4th, 5th...... brisk at best.

I got the CT26 turb.... so its bigger. It seems turbos got really small in factory cars in the mid 90s.... the rexies, mr2s and even the skylines got smaller, or more plastic-like turbos in the mid90s which is more responsive but cant be boosted up or are really high boost to begin with. :burnout:

Spiderman still has the R33... and my other friend still has my old turbo lude, so its like I never sold any of them I saw the prelude just yesterday (he's the guy that also took my wing off) and saw the line last week.

Your right about turbo cars in the mid 90's. That was a bid to try to get rid of turbo lag. 90's MR2 is the way to go.

But don't brake too suddenly in mid-corner cause some motoring journalsts found that it swaps ends very suddenly.

Yeah the last few days I experienced my first drive in it in the wet. I got to say you can call it skating on ice.

If I knew what I was doing this thing would be hella fun! Swing that ass around :P baby!

So when do the mods start :P  And it looks dam hot without that dam huge ass wing.

Mods? :eek1: No mods for me! I'm a factory stock kinda guy now :uh-huh:

If the turbo goes or stuff like that, then I'll probably go aftermarket but at the moment everything is running nice and its quite brisk in low revs which is what I want anyway.

Cheers!

Hey if my family moves away as they plan to and I don't need more seats anymore I'm in the market! I love MR2's always have, wanted one so bad but bought the R32 for the extra seats, sold the 32 wanted an MR2 and bought a 180 less seats but still more than two, sold the 180 wanted a MR2, but bought another 180...

hehe we were cruising down Military Rd last night (mate was driving) and this chick come up next to us and hangs out the window and goes "nice car mate!!!!! My favourite!!" Meanwhile my mates got this look on his face like, "YEH BABY :O this is my car!!" while I'm in the passanger seat going "ARGH!!!!! It's mine dammit!!!!!! MY credit!!! not urs!!!! :mad:" hehehe felt pretty good though that someone complimented my car. She wasn't too bad either!!!

I can't wait till mine is finished in Blue with white wheels and lowered to just that "perfect" height.......... *drool* ARGHHHH!! I need money!!!!!!!!!!
