Other than those mods, get a larger front sway bar (can't touch the rear) as well as better struts/shocks (can't touch the springs). Oh, and dial in as much -ve camber as possible w/o using camber bolts.

Do those mods and you'll have an n/a MR2 that's ready for some serious Solo-II action!!!


thanks for the advice Chike. The Stock MR2 Airflow system is directly fed by the driver's side vent. It is pretty amazing and has an awesome induction sound to it.

Yes, the paint is really faded, but I don't care, it's getting painted in a few weeks, the interior is in pretty good shape too.

This thing is SUCH a blast to drive, the corners are a whole new animal now.

Hey Chike, are you going to the AutoX school in Danville?

I highly doubt it. I'll be going to an autoX test-n-tune in Pulaski, VA being hosted by King Tire. I'm going to see how much time I can drop between my first and last run on that day.

I hope to attend a school sometime later this Summer/early Fall if money permits.

Are you getting the exterior paint professionally done? Will you be keeping the original color? What kinda money is it going to cost?

I'm going to get it painted prbly by the same person that painted my SVX after the collision with it. He's been in the business for a long time, and does good work. I'm not 100% sure of how much it is going to cost yet. I've also thought about taking it to Maaco (spelling?) the offer paint jobs for around $400 or so, while it won't be the best job in the world, it will still be a huge improvement. I'm going to try to get it painted the original red, but might be down for a different shade of red too.

Absolutely. Would be a long drive just to be ballast though...

How far are you from Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD? The Subaru Challenge will be held there again this year on Saturday, Sept 16th.

I have been wanting to get there for an Ironbirds game. I used to go see the Orioles at Camden Yards at least once a year. If I get my baby, we still going to do a Reading 7.5 at Tom's house?

You betcha. You can be my ballast on one of my autoX runs at the Cumberland Airport.
