Once upon a time owner checking in
Good Day to any and all who might remember me.
I still have the Toyota MR2 Spyder I bought to replace the SVX (something about low production numbers seems to draw me). Anyway, I look in here from time to time with some find memories of a great group of people. My continued best wishes for the faithful. So, what I really want to post about... Does Earl really own 18? Unbelievably cool. ![]() |

Re: Once upon a time owner checking in
SVX or MR2...
I would someday love to figure out how to shoehorn an EG33 with a lateral only (FWD, would be RWD on a mid-engined layout...) manual gearbox into an SW20 MR2 t-roof coupe. I think the axle line might be a bit too close to the firewall for the length of the engine. Maybe an STI EJ257 twin-scroll turbo...

I really do like those MR2s... what year is yours? I once had the chance to buy one, but bought a Miata instead. Now I am back to two SVXs... Maybe I'll look again sometime. Its nice to hear from older members. We have had a good bit of turnover lately...

Heard from him a few weeks ago, he asked which axle ratio it had (I swapped to the 4.10 after my second tranny failure) While I'm back might as well give a shout out to oab_au - Gid'ay Harvey my friend, hope all is well. My wife won't "let" me ride my Norton anymore. I'm not sure if she is worried about me falling off in a senior moment, or all the other old & blind codgers out there running me over in their great road demons (also locally known as Mercury Gran Marquis). |

Re: Once upon a time owner checking in
Gid'ay Mate, good to see you come in the door this time, instead of look through the window.
![]() What no more escapes from the family, riding the Norton ![]() ![]() Are the house repairs keeping ahead of the cyclones? Cheers Harvey.

Re: Once upon a time owner checking in
Hi there Lee
![]() Nice to see you back again. Won't let you ride the Norton, eh? It's a lack of confidence epidemic that affects women only. ![]() ![]() ![]() Those little MR2s are good little cars. You are right to keep it stock. Joe ![]()

Re: Once upon a time owner checking in
To be honest, it wasn't the car as much as it is the people. Even though I sit and lurk on the sidelines from time to time (Harvey caught me once), I try to keep up with some people I came to care about, even though I had met few of them (like the guys responding in this thread).
