I still say the bang for buck with the MR2 is unbeatable, the number of heads mine turns & questions i get make me smile ear to ear

I currently live in Japan, I’m about to pick up a 96 MR2 with very little issues. Been wanting this car for forever thank you for talking bout one of my fav JDM

Make sure they take the foam out of the rockers if you don't know what I'm taking about look into it most of them now days have been gotten tho. I did have to remove it from my car

used to see one of these around my neighborhood all the time. the guy had it modded out nicely with some nice wheels and wide tires. always loved seeing that car.

These used to be underrated, but that was years ago. You can't find a clean one for a reasonable price anymore.

I dunno, I still see them pop up from time to time in the FB groups. What Japanese classic would you say is a better value in comparison?

U can find a clean reasonable price u just need to know ppl and got the plug

What i love about this car is when u pull up to idle the fans click on and it sounds awesome. Also when you hit 60mph the whole engine sound changes and it sounds like race car. Mine is beauty when was driving. Doubt it would start without work now...i notice you have the original double stereo cd , i had to buy mine seperate as it wasnt in it when i got it. Looks nice even as old as it is doesnt it and that big space without it is yuk..my daughter at 13 used to love standing on seat out roof as we drove in summer night along country roads, dont worry i never went fast..was just a bit of fun for her.

Have quite a collection of cars now and the SW20 is the car i take when its just me looking to have fun. Always puts a smile on your face.

spot on, grabbed me a jdm 97 3sgte 70kmiles, 6 months ago, your car looks beautiful, cool vid

Awesome car. I do have one too, with a 2gr swapped, and I think it's time to taking it out for the summer....yeah

I KNOW I DO MAN! Thanks for convincing me even more

Fantastic video as usual!!

I had a mk2 T-bar GT, gun metal metallic, and I put Civic Type R alloys on it, I loved that car, the Type R alloys looked way better than you would imagine. 91 pre cat model, no power steering, just a raw driving experience, with an unburstable 2 litre twin cam 👌

The more complicated modern cars get, the more I appreciate a simple driving experience

I'm just going to look for a NA with little rust and good dash i want to mod alot on this car engine swap and aftermarket parts for the body and lots more i found a semi clean 1993 hardtop automatic here in Arizona for a good price i think I'm gonna jump on it before it's gone

Love your Mr2 buddy, looks great. I am curious what wheels you're running as I'm browsing for something different.

I'm gonna work my ass off this summer to try and get one but tuition is killin me. Probably could sell one of my other two cars for a bit of cash too. Worst part is people want too much for their mr2 that has a lot of small issues.

I bought a very rusty sw20 for little money and i will swap te car with a project sw20 that chasis is not to far gone.

What ECU are you using? And how does the car run/function without a IACV. Would love to ditch mine.

AEM version 1 EMS. It's definitely pretty racecarish without the IACV - I'm used to it now but driveability suffers

Anytime I see mr2 content I watch right away lol

Rare to see a mid-engined car....C8 Corvette excluded which I see everywhere now, then again I'm in Florida. I love/hate this video since I don't own an MR2 currently, wish I kept one of my previous ones I owned.

Some SW20 NAs with a automatics are pretty much going for what Turbos did 5 years ago.

Price for mr2

To be honest, I don't think that the value on most of these cars didn't just go up out of appreciation, but rather inflation is readjusting the prices, so it is the same.... Let's say you sold the MR2 for the price of a Supra back then... well, if you take that money to try and buy a supra.. it most likely won't happen because you will still be the same distance away from buying that supra... (unless you find a sucker or you are the suckered buying a lemon)

I’ve had mine in storage for nearly 11 years I paid £2200 for it I’ve been offered £16500 for it the way it sits 🤷🏼‍♂️

I would but I can't afford it

Sw20 with ABS? In North America? Did any sw20 come with ABS anywhere? Google says no ABS.

DUDE. In canada these cars are so damn expensive. They average around 10 - 20k in quebec.

Done, and done. Cept mine is blue. And my brothers mr2 is white.

I once bought a 289 Ford V8 out of a junkyard. Did basic checks, static timed it and it fired on the first crank! It ran for years until I sold the car. Your cars are spoiled. BTW, socks with flip flops is an old fart fail.

Put a F355 kit anywhere near this, and I'll unsubscribe ! 🤣
