Hey air well done. I love Mr2 Targa

They are baby ferraris.

Well yeah they sort of do. But yesterday we were crusin down Norton St in Leichardt and this yellow F355 being driven by grandpa is going the opposite way. Of course in Norton St cars can only go at 3km/hr and I looked at the Ferrari next to the MR2 and it looked nothing like the MR2 :D

But as long as there are no Ferrari's around, and people aren't too cluey... you can get away with it sometimes.... barely :)

p.s. that's a modded R32 vs stock MR2 :)

Indeed, I can vouch for that too, they are not just slightly but considerably quicker than a stock R32 GTS4, probably over a second quicker over the quarter.

I SORTA looked into it once.......wrked out to something like $4000.00 NZD's for the kit + shipping to NZ from the states + fitting + painting.

In other words HEAPS!!

But yeah, it's nice alright!!

Ronin mate, u gotta be loving this thread! :D mr2australia.com isn't it?? :D

thanks a bunch for the 91 vid mate, i agree, not as good as 92 but still hella fun to watch the GTR's romp it in!

u thinking of a blue respary?? That would look totally hot on ur car....with white powder coated rims..... :drooling:

u got a timeframe for this?? or just an idea at the mo?

KiwiMR2: yeh it's hella expensive and not within my budget :D

SS8_Gohan: hehehe yeh I could start up mr2australi.com but I really don't have the time or commitment let alone the web gesign skills to do it :D No problem about the vids mate. I will be powder coating my wheels white and getting a blue respray. I wanted Calsonic R34 GTR Blue but not sure now. I am still considering other colours but blue seems the go ATM. I want it done by next years jamboree ;)

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
