New StableMate...(MK1 MR2!!)

OK, so I owned this car before, but I just traded my '80 320I for it back and some cash! Had her out last night, and MAN is she easy to slide! WooooooooooHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Now I can quit abusing the SVX, and start fixing her up. But some money will inevitably find its way into the '2 as well...they're just too much fun when prepared!

Does this mean you're not going to spec out the 3 point for the SVX?

Wow, that MR2 looks like it's in nice shape, Mike. So you'll be bringing that to the autocrosses instead of the SVX, then?

so what's the deal with that little tip on the exhaust? i've seen those before on racecars, but never quite understood... is it for fine-tuning backpressure?

Looks like a SuperTrapp muffler to me.. You can change the pitch of the exhaust by adding or removing discs!

Let's see....

* Yes, I am still working on the belts for the SVX (and the swaybars, for those in the know)

* Yes, the MR2 will become my primary track car, but the SVX (when AWD again) will make the occasional appearance.

* Yes, the muffler is a Supertrapp, and you not only tune the sound, but the powerband of the engine with the discs. More discs = louder exhaust, and more top end.


Thanks!

So are you going to make regular appearances at CCSCC events, Mike? There's an actual autocross this weekend. I'm going to get my ass kicked for real this time! Woohoo!

I'll be at as many events out there as I can make.
I'm a poor boy, and also have other priorities most Saturdays and Sundays. I know...I suck...

That is a 2003 "in transit" plate. I was still working for an autobody place last year, and never titled the MR2. (oops )
That pic was taken before I sold it.

The car now has a temp plate (one of the paper ones) on it.

Awesome Mr2, that should rock in autoX. I love how the shifter falls right into your hand on those. Almost had one as my 1st car but my mom wasn't having any of it.


I had a super trapp on my old bike, took all the baffles off, fun for a while but then i lost the baffles, screws and cap, serves me right i guess. Cagers knew exactly where i was though.

You guys should look into Honda Prelude 4WS. I love that thing. One of these days, I am going to go look for a good one and get it as my 3rd car.
