1986 AW11 MR2 Supercharged

E51 Gearbox with LSD

Lowered 1" all round on KYB Shocks

I take delivery of it next wednesday. went down to the shopfront to order some YAW11S black slimline plates, but they were taken ;) so i'm thinking YAW11M instead.

Yeah nice ride, congrats matey!

If you haven't already seen them you might want to check out the High Octane DVD series, they do up an MR2 as a project car in a few of the earlier episodes - from memory it was a yellow turbo job that gets hi flowed, fat body kit etc.

Also has some interesting Skyline stuff as well, like a 326km speed run with a GTR on a narrow wet road out in the NZ boonies somewhere, and a GTS4 -> GTR project car.

PM me if you want to know where to hire em from as cheapo weekly rentals.... :)

This car i'll be keeping until i finish uni and get into a full time job (two years atleast)

Car and engine are only at 115k kms, so nothing too huge. I'll have to go over the Dickson pits for rego, but it should be fine, has already been engineered for side intrusion bars and all that stuff.

Mods? Pod filter relocation first off, then exhaust and headers (no loud cannon this time :S), HKS/Cusco overdrive pulley kit, bigger TMIC.

There's a red AW11 MR2 in Sydney owned by a guy who works at UAS...ran a 10sec 1/4 a couple of years ago, he had 270rwkw or somethinig like that - i don't aim that high, but it won't be too hard or costly getting some good times.

Got some plans for her, the white wheels from my seca are going on too, same fit - cheering!

Money was paid today, forms will arrive friday, car to be freighted on monday, and arrives at my door wedsnesday, can't wait!

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
