[@tommymogaka]

Do you think a Diesel Turbo Charged Manual MR2 is a good buy?

[@RexH]

@@tommymogaka is that even a thing? Haha

[@tommymogaka]

@@RexH - Hahaha! I thought so too... I came across one for sale and I was like haaaaa!? Must be an engine swap!

[@chrismiddleton7873]

Awesome top 10 but you've left off the main reason why a lot of us SW20 owners love the car: Handling!. This thing handles like a go-kart! It's just so much fun to drive. I have just as much fun in my 1992 2.0 n/a as I do in my 1990 1MZ-FE. It's all about the handling for me :)

[@industrialdrummer44]

I'm on my 6th MR2 now and I've been obsessed since I bought my first one in the mid 90's. Currently rocking (and loving) a '94 Turbo and it's sooooooo sweet.

[@paneraby]

as a 6th gen celica owner, i strongly believe the mr2 has a bigger following than a celica. in the states that is.

[@Redrumemory]

as a 6th gen celica owner i agree with you, am also i’m planning to sell it once i have enough money to buy an MR2

[@justhesolution]

It's rwd so naturally it's more sought after

[@Rijsttafel]

bro the 7th gen celica is fire aswell

[@ftwsam2246]

My dad had an MR2 before i was born, and I'm hoping to get one myself eventually.

[@realAlexChoi]

In the US, the pricing can be a bit worse depending on the state you're in. A good Turbo will set you back almost 10K nowadays, but NAs are still pretty cheap.

[@Limitless_Potato]

Hard to find in Texas and when you do find it it's either terrible condition for 2k or meh condition for 6k

[@raspiankiado4658]

I'm from PA looking for a used one. Any websites to recommend checking out? (The nearest one I've found is a state and a half away.)

[@realAlexChoi]

@@itsk0na Yeah, the MR2 market has really blown up since I first wrote this. I remember in 2017, I found a '93 Turbo for $5500, and a '93 NA for $2200 in 2019. Now both those cars are worth about 4x as much.

[@407pc]

the mr2 with the most striking line of all, mk2. The coupes of the 90s have something special.

[@troyperez3822]

I recently bought mr2 sw20 it is my childhood dream so this car is for keeps, i daily drive it going to work and yeah it is exotic and rare I am the only one in our community who owns mr2 a prestige of ownership

[@MonsieurTwo]

How have you found dailying an MR-2 so far?

[@Natanorcus]

They are such amazing cars, sadly I lost my sw20 due to a crash a few years ago, mainly my own fault, young dumb and loved the accelerator peddle. If I ever get another one needless to say I will treat it with the respect it deserves. I paid £1500 for my 1991 with 76k miles on it. For one like that here in the uk now you'll be paying upwards of £2500 for a non turbo and close to 5k for a turbo mostly stock.

[@undersc0r]

damn uk has great prices. here its 5k for na maybe

[@zXDavinatoRXz]

Bought myself an sw20 gt-i tbar just arrived yesterday and I’m in love, really like the content mate!!

[@filipemeliciano]

Hey! Celica guy here! I love the MR2, just wish there were more here They're just rarer though making them look like they stay in the shadow may be Drive safe! Kudos from Switzerland

[@fabiolo6625]

Another swiss guy? Grüezi my friend

[@DeftAnesthetik]

Yeah... Prices on these are steadily climbing. Here in Canada you won't find a decent turbo model for anything less than $10k, about 5-8 years ago you could have one for roughly $6k. I managed to get a good deal on a 1991 that was rough around the edges but has a 4th gen 3sgte. I've never driven a stock mk2 but I can say that with a 4th gen swap, these cars are really, REALLY quick. Enough to keep up with most modern "performance" cars.

[@purplemonstertv]

I love my Mr2 Turbo. Best car ever. Cool vid

[@octavio2027]

I remember the first time I saw this ship, it was jumping off the bottom edge of a curve and it was blue in color

[@faleor1550]

grew up with my dad owning a mk1. back then they were completely overlooked and overshadowed by other cars like the ae86 and supra. hipster points for being into them long before they gained popularity

[@derekspace]

You forgot the most important reason...the handling is legendary.

[@redsidebiker]

You only need 1 reason - they are epic. I miss my '98 Anniversary edition that I sold 20 years ago. They look 100mph stood still, thy handle like nothing else I've driven (and the list is long - a real Mini is the closest). The turbo is out of this world. Then you get the guys in the US that drop v6s with superchergers into them.....Wish they did that 20odd years ago!

[@Megalocade]

Mr2 and the Supra are my favorite cars ever, still love my Mr2 after 15 years of ownership it still gets heads turned it's red, a turbo and a tbar with a border kit on and a great deal on money under the hood, the only thing that gets on my tits about owning one is kids wanting to race me at the lights......

[@marnix484]

highkey this influenced me even more to buy a mr2 (trashed af and broken) as a first car,im gonna regret it xD

[@barakshahbaz1168]

maxgamingyt3 fuckin W, I hope my parents get me this for my 19th birthday this year 😍 I’ve decided to either get it in black or red. This car is fucking insane

[@barakshahbaz1168]

And bro ur not gonna regret it when you pull up in this fuckin BEAST! 🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronh.2122]

Is this a turbo or a NA? Whatever it is, looks great?

[@ghostheartgames]

I recently bought a bmw e90 320i and I’m interested in joining a bmw drivers club in Victoria, Melbourne but idk where to begin?

[@RexH]

not sure there's many in melbourne but you'll have to ask Lachy's garage as he's the bmw expert out of us two ahah

[@EyeWiNN]

I have one. They’re such cool fun and good cars!

[@RyH-yx4ys]

There is a 90 Toyota MR2 listed close to me for 3000 USD and it has a Camry engine and transmission, I really want to buy it but I can't. Idk what are the prices outside of Iraq but I think 3k is cheap af, these types of cars are underrated in Iraq because most ppl go towards American muscles and German cars.

[@beQza11]

What is the gas consuption like? Can this car be a daily car or it's more weekend car? Thanks is anyone replies!

[@paulmcadam6825]

Nice video. I also own a MR2 G Limited JDM model. Watching this in Guyana, South America!!

[@brantleyfoster021]

Toyota MR2 is Toyota's solution to owning a Ferrari, how can you say no? I've seen a few V8 builds, always wondered if you can put the Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo V8 in one.

[@bignateaussie8123]

Yeah 👌👈

[@RexH]

That would be a hard fit ahaha

[@vigidozx]

Brantley - I have seen a first gen Audi 4.2 engine in a older mr2 87 model i think, so its probably possible on the mk2 also

[@brantleyfoster021]

vigidozx Saw that too, made it sound incredible & they rev so high.

[@vigidozx]

Brantley - yes, I completely agree. Just rememberd that somone put the 5 cylinder audi engine in a sw20, its here on youtube also incredible

[@mojoflow2417]

That honestly looks so damn fun to drive in the twisties 😭. Should cruise with you guys one day

[@salimsopari]

What size rims and tires are you using?

[@KristopherWatson1]

Legit video!! I love my 91 SW

[@C0ST3LL0]

Currently looking to buy one now!! (UK) Is there N/A engine variants? If so which one would you recommend? Cheers Also loving the MR2 videos, keep'em coming! 🤙

[@zerixor8134]

I geniunly cant find a mr2 in Sweden where i live, or at least not a sw20. Like 6 months ago there where plenty of them now they are all gone.

[@jaschaschaub676]

want one but i dont have 15k for a NA one..in switzerland...

[@Hellaire]

how much did u pay for the MR2 ?

[@larry12345]

its funny how u compare it to the mx5 coz thats exactly wat went thru my mind bk when i was looking at these. i originally decided on an mx5 but in hong kong NA miatas and sw20s go for abt the same money so i thought for the same amount i can get smth that goes slightly quicker with a turbo and still get pop up headlamps from the same era! never looked back ever since

[@hunteraltman4762]

You got an mr2?!

[@chausta]

Awesome video, makes me want to buy another mr2

[@tinekese5025]

what mods do you have and how much HP do you make

[@Soujiro89]

What does the "P" in the windshield mean?

[@JohnDoe-uk7jy]

Literally cant find one in Canada :(

[@TreXXen]

So my father is a mechanic and had told me that engine overheating is common with this car, do you do much to combat it? What do you do?

[@RexH]

Have never had an overheating issue and I drive this car hard so I'm unsure to where he got that from

[@TreXXen]

Rex H he's a mechanic in soCal so that's probably why, don't know how hot where you are down under gets. but he also may have been talking about the aw11

[@lucyrand2751]

Most likely due to inexperienced mechanics or diy-ers not knowing how to properly bleed the VERY large coolant system. Air pockets in the line will kill anything you put in, if they're not bled out completely.

[@hunteraltman4762]

Fieros yes, mr2 no. Mr2 has tons of functional vents to the engine bay. Even the trunk/hood lid is made for cooling. Air circulates over the hood openings to cool the engine.

[@sailor.senshi8964]

do you recommend i either get, a 1992 non tubro mr2 or 1993 tubro mr2?

[@renegado8588]

I didn't had the choice in my country the na mr2 are very rare and turbo's are non existent, we have very tight and very expensive taxes for imported cars, so given the choice I would go with the turbo

[@nozepje]

Okay ive been thinking about what car i want. But this video says it for me. The mr2 it is

[@jsvazzz]

Is snap oversteer really a problem with this car? I’m about to get my first car and I’m thinking of getting an mr2

[@janboblarry]

Please dont get an mr2 for a first car

[@MonsieurTwo]

Did you get an MR-2?

[@Tactical_Response_Team]

MR2 is a fast little monster.

[@Has7DCT]

I got the 98 MR2 it's just sweet. Bolt on Turbo and u can take it to 300hp

[@pareshbhagirat8569]

Hey champ what's the actual price

[@vipbeef2174]

Wait,since its a Toyota with that 3S-GE can you buy an aftermarket turbocharger?

[@RexH]

Nah it would blow up the engine, you need a 3s GTE

[@vipbeef2174]

Oh ok man

[@nimmen]

Only difference with the ge and gte are the pistons and thus their compression ratios. At least with the older gen 2 that is true. Maybe a stronger head gasket on the turbo.

[@symphonie243]

i will wait for you to upload your videos. Any day & everyday!

[@motogte]

Awesome Mister 2.

[@PHIL253]

How about AE86 :>

[@micutzzzuop595]

16v engine?

[@jimijohnfilms8191]

There’s one for sale in my erea only for $5,000 Pretty cheap for a car that looks like a Ferrari and it’s red sooo..

$450 for the Kouki taillights is a DEAL!!

Donte Alwaely you can also get it with a sun roof , less rare than a hard top but more than t-tops!

[@foreverflorian5300]

I'm a racecar driver and I don't think it's weird to look at this video. 😂 I'm looking for an older, cool car and the MR2 fits perfectly to what I want. So therefor I'm looking at some videos about it haha. (If you want to check me out or follow my journey as a racing driver you can check my Instagram @Babydriven tho haha 😁) cheers!

[@kalinduwadanambi8612]

I own an NB mx5 and they make around the same power as your 3s-ge I'm pretty sure.

[@andrewnorris5415]

3s-ge makes 158 bhp in the UK.

[@kalinduwadanambi8612]

@@andrewnorris5415 Well considering the face lift NB mx5 makes around 152hp and with it being at least 150kg lighter. the power to weight isn't that far off.

@@andrewnorris5415 Depending on the revision. I think Rev 1 is 158, up to 197hp in the Rev 5 Redtop Beams 3SGE.
