Ive got a mr2 6 speed 16 v 86 mr2 and its fast for 115 hp :D Who knows i might make a video.

@theprgamer Yep, mine was certainly no slouch after the 6-speed swap when you consider the power output of the 4AGE.

if im seeing this correctly you shifted up to 5th? got any videos to up to 6?



[mcm95403]

@bishounenpooru Sorry, no other videos than what I have posted here. I sold the car a year ago.

@mcm95403 ahh did you start the run at 3rd gear moving to 6 or was it 1-4?

[mcm95403]

@bishounenpooru that is 1st through 4th

@mcm95403 Thank you for the quick response. I think I will do more research but I have a feeling I'd like to stay naturally aspirated. Less potential power I guess but for me its just about having an easy car to maintain thats fun to drive and toss around :) I used to have an '86 Mercury Capri RS 5.0L long ago with some work done including suspension and brakes but I think this time around I think I will go for light and nimble.

@svtcontour The NA has less to go wrong and parts are more available. The SC give a good kick at lower speeds but I feel like it peters out too early because it's undersized. There are fixes for that, but once you down down that path........

I'm thinking of picking up an earlier MR2 due to their small size and light weight oh and RWD. My Contour SVT was hit and written off a little while back :( I will totally miss that car but time to get something else to play with. I'm not sure if I should be buying the supercharged version or pick up the NA version and just do a little work to it. I assume the NA version has less things to go wrong...

@654321yhtaeD Yep, that's my short shifter in action. Info is on my website.
