>original spindledick wheels
yeah nah your going to railroad mate
My first advice is get Wide fronts and same width rears.
7k is a bit steep but at those k's its nice, more info plz
>>14102288
Not keeping original rubber or wheels on it m8, just stating how unmolested the car is. First order of business is finding replacements but setting the originals aside for novelty.
The 7k includes JCI, road tax, and insurance, but that was the total out the door price.
Dealerships here go through a car top to bottom before sending it off to inspection, they have to be mechanically sound.
Car came from Tokyo a month ago and I would say it was the cleanest car on the lot aside from maybe the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R they just got in for $10.5k
That thing got me hard, can post pictures if anyone would like. I talked my friend into buying it but he then backed out for a privately owned Fairlady
>they are going to steam clean the engine bay in pic related
>>14102335

Did someone say Over Rev thread?
>tfw buying 1st Gen soon as first car
I hope 4age engine can hold up well

>worried
>>14102364
Get ready for tears, this one is beautiful, even still has the umbrella.
So far I've ordered a boost controller and a gauge (forgot to mention it does have a shitty boost gauge installed now) and I've ordered a replacement shift boot since the original is kinda trashed. I'm waiting a bit on the intake until I get new rubber on the car but I did order the intake adapter. As far as what's planned....Probably bigger injectors, plugs, wires, simple stuff at first. Want to drive and appreciate the car in somewhat of its natural form given that it's so unmodified before I start going nuts on it.

nice i remember i had a boner for one and was going to get one but the r33gtst ended up cheaper.
>>14102269
>Bought a MR2 for $7,000 USD literally paying the same amount for a car he could've bought in America for the same price
>Not a GC8 WRX STi/Evo 4-5
>Not one of the millions of reasonably priced Chasers/Mark II 5spds
he fell for the meme again
>>14102368
Pls
>>14102380
>first car
Be careful
>>14102409
I don't think you understand how imports work
>>14102409
>hating on any car
nigga u gay
>>14102416
this
>>14102415
It's an NA AW11 , the snap oversteer isn't as bad.
I'd like some more coaching on driving one properly though
But yeah I'll definitely take it easy on it
Maybe go karting
>>14102380
its ok bro just watch out for snap oversteer
Most RWD's do it even front heavy barges
>>14102409
>not understanding JDM tax
>implying you can find a clean SW20 GTS -T with 60k miles stateside
>implying chasers aren't for redguards exclusively
>recommending AWD trash
>>14102427
9-3 hand position, steady throttle, consistent steering, ease into brakes
>>14102451
I've asked before , but if I make a turn and feel like I'm losing jt, I'm supposed to accelerate ?
Just want to avoid spinning in traffic
Mr2 is basically corolla and will go 100s of thousands of miles
>>14102460
Your only supposed to accelerate if you know what your doing my advice would be to just easy off the throttle or try and steer your way out
DONT ever touch the brakes
I'm having to resize all these bc the Xperia Z5s camera is nutty
>>14102380
>mr2 as first car
dead man walking
>>14102472
This, just get out of anything pedal related and and softly turn into the slides never jerk the wheel. As hard as it will be In the moment just stay calm. But the best thing to do us avoid the fuck up all together
>>14102269
jealous as fuck
>>14102492
Counter steer or follow the cars nose ?
>>14102610
Counter
I love Celicas, Supras and Ae86s but never understood those gay little cars.
Waste of good 3SGTEs imo.
>>14102416
so what makes this different from a 1992 mr2 turbo in america
aside from the twin cam turbo trim-piece and right hand drive
primemr2 will even sell you a fully restored 4th gen 3sgte swapped sw20 for $7-9k all day long
>>14102439
>implying chasers aren't goat
its a four door supra what's there to hate
1990s evo/sti would rape a mr2 for lunch anyways, sw20s were fat pigs while the gc8s were 2700lb awd tin cans and the evos had torque vectoring black magic
>>14102621
Probably a silly question but thanks
So all those crash videos are just idiots? There was one of an sw20 that fucked going in a straight line and rammed into a parked jetta, narrowly missed am integra type r
>>14102593
Damn that's clean
>not me inside pic related
>supporting the NE Patriots ever
>>14102642
Teenagers senpai. Any car is unpredictable when you're making quick, irrational changes while driving a vehicle. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
>>14102637
The car is worth more just based on the fact it's JDM and weebs stateside will nut themselves over it. Also, dat JDM only center console.
But I'm not going to argue with someone who only cares about speed and thinks a 4 door anything is ever ok in anything that is supposed to be performance based.
>>14102672
But I'M a dumb teenager
>>14102691
Well don't be dumb or there won't be enough left of your body for the body van to pull out
>>14102395
post umbrella
>>14102696
Teach me senpai
>>14102703
Didn't take pictures of it, sorry about that
>>14102269
WHY GF MAD
>>14102756
She's not, I am
Got buzzed at Christmas party, she gets black out, we come home and she's sloppy and crying in the shower, try to help, she punches me in the head, I go to bed and she gets in it with me and calls me entitled and calling me a POS and what not. I tell her I'm taking a cab to my place, leave, she locks the door behind me, I try to get a cab for an hour, fall asleep in her garage, wake up 2 hours later and bang on her door until she opens it, she doesn't remember anything the next morning. She's apologized and what not but I'm faking mad so maybe she'll learn to not get trashed at work events
