What storage space?
>>14732799
The few cubic centimeters you get when you take out the spare tire
>not a stock hard top
Hipster miata.
>>14732799
behind the seats there is a cubby hole that can fit a couple backpacks
there is a little space in the frunk but that's it
if you get a hard top, there's more space behind the seats
>>14732632
Girls car.

According to best motoring it's a great car and a good tuning base. Spend some cash on it with an engine swap to a 2zzge and it's a mini lotus/boxster

I just found out it's lighter than the SW20 and AW11
>>14733193
Lighter than a Miata
>>14732632
Looks too weird
>>14733203
Does it just become a rocket when you slap a 2zz in it?
>>14732632
Holy shit these are cheap in the uk at the moment.
If I had the space I'd get one in a heartbeat
>>14733277
a 2zz with bolt ons and a good tune, yes
>>14733291
Yeah right more like k20
The lightest, best-handling MR2.
The ugliest MR2.
>>14732632
>heat extraction hood on a MR
Wew lad
>>14733277
2zz + turbo yeah p much
>>14733380
MR2's have front mount radiators, lots of people duct the radiator through the hood.
>>14733394
I stand corrected
Apparently Honda swaps are good

When my dad was working at a car lot I had a go of one of the late model MR2's and an MG-F
Both are pretty terrible things really... so fucking slow, they handle ok but that's about it.
Oh as a bonus the MR2 will sometimes catch fire if the exhaust fucks up, so that's a bit of excitement I guess if being on fire is what's missing in your life.

>40k to turbo a k20
you are dumb as fuck familia
>>14735110
That transmission alone is 12K. Don't you think he spent more than that on the motor/boost?
>>14735138
yeah sure, but its not like you have to replicate what he did on the video
I drove one of these for a while
Handles super tight, steering feel is extremely precise
Beats the Miata at its own game but is much more expensive and the less-conventional drivetrain layout needs some getting used to
Its so ugly :(
>>14735158
it's cute
>>14735158
just debadge it and pretend it's an Italian abortion

>looks gay
>driven exclusively BY gays (much like anything transformed by Project Genesis)
>corolla engine with no forced induction of any type
absolute disgust
>>14733430
That sequential transmission
But yeah personally I like the W30 the best out of the mr2s I know some people don't like the look of it but you can swap a celica front end on to it make it more aggressive
Would buy and turn it into a project car
>>14732632
Has a 1zz
Is ugly stock
Really only good for swaps
>>14735158
it looks 10x better irl in motion, especially from the rear
>>14732632
Would be cool if you could swap a v6 or v8 in there.
>Even less power than NA 1.6 miata, 555-come-on-now

>no room to work in at all, bay is cramped as hell, 300zx tier
>Heavier than it looks, worse handling than you think it has
>AWFUL AWFUL body styling. ESPECIALLY deplorable considering SW20 was SO good and fell so far and fast with the SW30
>>14737578
>>Even less power than NA 1.6 miata, 555-come-on-now
138bhp according to wikipedia. It has more and it's faster.
>way too twitchy
Get good
>no room to work in at all, bay is cramped as hell, 300zx tier
Yeah, it's a low weight sports car.
>Heavier than it looks, worse handling than you think it has
You have no idea what you're talking about
There's one for sale in town for $4k thinking of buying it and swapping my Celica Gt's 2zz 54k miles into it .
>>14737578
I'm pretty sure you've only seen pictures online and have never owned or driven one, because everything you've said is completely wrong or subjective.
owning a car that's in every objectionable way even gayer than a NA miata
overpaying for mid engine corolla without a roof
dumping money in one of the worst looking toyotas of the last 20 yrs
why
>>14737826
gotta be a special snowflake
gotta rice every car
I had one, it was actually my first car
Pros:
>cheap for what it is
>handles great
>fun to drive around
>girls like it (not trolling)
>rwd
Cons:
>small as fuck, im 6'5 so it was a struggle
>no storage space, no that compartment doesnt count
>slow, should have came boosted or something
>people dont see them, got rearended fucking twice. Made money both times tho.
>can't drift at all, seriously
>>14737840
Oh and 1 more for both pros and cons. Its a convertible. Fun for the summer, horrible for the rest of the year. That shit split open in the middle of winter and replacing it made me want to jump off a bridge
My motorcycle saddle bags had 2x more space than this. Also was faster. Also didn't attract gays. Also was 2k cheaper. Held as many passengers too.
