Fam, i had one of these at 17-21... Im now 38, oldest kid is looking at buying their first car... im super tempted to get another MR2, low key so i can drive it when their not looking! haha best car i ever had, including owning a SRT JEEP, BMW X5 M, never had more fun in any car than i did with the MR2... I used to wind the headlights out to be half up and drive around like I was a boss! hahaha good times!

Hello! I’m a little late to this vid but I just wanna say this video helped me so much I really want to get this car as my first car
I prefer the zenki's over kouki's I love the 90's sportscar vibe that they give
Saw red one sometime ago in car meeting, it's very interesting car
Doesn't the Rev2 already have the upgraded suspension? I thought it was only a rev1 thing. 🤔 Anyway, awesome video as always! :D
Good videos as always man. Really wish I purchased one when I had the opportunity.

I looked at getting one when I first started driving 14 to 15 years ago but bought into the "it's a super unsafe death trap" BS. I wish I'd never listened cause now the price has gone up 10-12k. At least they remain in the hands of people who really care for and love these vehicles rather than in scrapyards across the US.

Actually it was the Rev 2 that fixed the snap oversteer (you can tell cause it has wider tires and 15 inch wheels compared to the Rev 1 14 inch)

If I where you since your just starting out I’d avoid any trans work until your comfy with lube work and brakes and things of that nature
cheeky check in a couple years later, I remember getting mine for 4700 and my mate picked one up the other day for 22500
Tinted "Zenki" taillights is the coolest in my opinion. Good video man!
Funny! My hardtop doesn't leak a bit😁
After a year since I watched this vid, I was finally able to buy my own 3sgte MR2
after watching this i bought rusty mr2 jdm import with hard top as something to rescue :D
Got my dream car two years ago....nope never selling it!
Have you got a V6 swap video and how did you manage it for 2k?
drive it hard with the engine oil warning light on, of course
Very good and some good points.😄😄😄😄😄 9.5\10
I have a 1997 Rev 5, red top beams vvti, non-turbo, auto, 'sonic', tin top, it's quite rare so hard to get parts for, I usually repair anything that breaks, trim etc, but anyway my question, coil overs or kings springs, it's already low but i'd like to drop it an inch or two, and do bigger sway bars front and rear make a big difference?
What engine did you swap into it,if it only costs 2k Australian I would def do it when I get one
Hello! Where have you buy the body kit? Send me the link please 😉
as buying one for the first time and earning to how to drive maunal stick shift , is this a good car to start to learn ?
Everything I need n want
the T-bar seals are the same price as 4 new tyres and it's a 1 time fix for 15 years.. makes no sense, just get new seals if it leaks. rev2 was the steering and brake change, rev3 was just more power.
