MR2 Nurburgring heavy traffic 1.5.2015 overtaking 25 cars

[@ryshask]

The pop up headlights are the ultimate flex.. I love it.

[@SifuLXiX]

That's some good driving. As someone who's owned MR2's, that's no easy feat. Love the section with the BMW, very suspenseful.

[@sargetahir7657]

Yea that's what had my eyes glued to the screen too

your front end grip and turn in are great. whats your front setup? (arbs/camber/tyres?)

[@Ghosty_cat_]

Mad respect man. MR2s take high level driving skill and you got it. Those things scare the shit outta me

[@Ghosty_cat_]

6:57 is nuts

[@norwaymr2]

My engine is still 2.0l home built engine. Garret GTX3071R turbo, lots of other mods both bolt on and complete bespoke/custom done to suspension, brakes, cooling interior etc.. guess it pushes small 500hp but I don't have any numbers.. :)

[@HarukanoF20C]

You're definitely no where near 500HP at all. I dont mean to be derogatory but a gtx3071r will never flow near that hp on a 2.0L... With that being said, it seems to me your around 350WHP. At the rate your passing the E46 M3 during full boost and other like HP cars such at the S14 , grey STI at 5:20, other like cars... If you were at 500hp you would be FLYING past these cars. But, I will say your MR2 is definitely quick and something I hope mine aspires to be someday! Keep up the good work and I hope to see more videos coming from ya in the future! Especially because the MR2 is a dying breed we need all the high quality videos we can get to remember this little rocket ship ;) Stay safe and keep the boost up mate!

[@mr2australia]

Yes it sounds like 350-370hp to me. I know these engines well.

[@atomicninja1]

That was a cool vid dude.Nice driving and a fast MR2. I have a 94 JDM GT-S Turbo Rev 3 which is pretty quick.I have owned MR2s continously since 1998 and spent many years driving them on the best roads Japan has to offer. Wish people would stop bitching about "snap oversteer" though. The Japanese had engineered it out with the changes to wheel size and toe in/out settings along with the changes to some of the suspension pickup points and other changes by the 94 model year. Like any well setup sports car it will oversteer when it runs out of grip but that is what counter steer/opposite lock is all about. Better than awful front end scrubbing understeer. If you have some skills it's not a big problem and they are wicked fast on a track like the Ring. He was making big yards on those other cars mainly because his steering /brakes and handling were allowing him to stay on the throttle longer. Well done bud..keep on rockin the Mister 2.

[@tbird1028]

if you were pushing 500 hp you would've lost your car around a couple of those corners :D

[@Gianncarlo0216]

I got an mr2 with the same turbo and got 483hp, have to say that if you had this power you fly in the sky 🤣🤣🤣 think you more in the 300-350hp, nice driving skills mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@RAF92Warhawk]

What a beast, nice driving too. Really shows what the SW20 is capable of in the right hands!!

[@zealotscout]

So wait a second, an mr2 as long as you're stepping on the gas through the corners it pretty much acts like a go-kart? Those corners were crazy, theres also no way in hell in hell that was a stock mr2 either.

[@norwaymr2]

There's some bits that are still original 😊 but I got ST swaybars, cusco coilovers, yes bushings (and some homemade nylon), custom steering ratio and sticky tires... 👍☺

[@MKNAOMIII]

some of those cars really slow u down. I'd see u in the high 7min mark with no traffic. did u do something about the roll center and bump/toe steer from lowering ride height? i'd like to know more on the susp/tire setup. would be nice if u had a build thread.

[@geraldjustprojects]

was it oversteering at 3:17? that was a nice catch!

[@sigmamale4147]

[@RavenGTR79]

From what I saw he used very little to no countersteer...that's how your drive an sw20 without the so-called snap oversteer those amateur automotive journalists labeled this great chassis.

[@big-R]

Interesting video. Being that you owned the car for so long, how do you feel about MR oversteer? Are you afraid of it or are avoiding it at any cost? I've driven RWD for 10+ years now and thought of trying aMR platform, but am weary of the MR oversteer on a track...

[@norwaymr2]

+krakri11 My experience after driving my mr2 on trackdays for 14 years is that any other car i put my self in feels like an easy drive :P I did some mods to the steering ten years ago, allowing more turn on the wheels for less turning on the steering wheel, that helped me alot on the "catching up on a snap oversteer issue." You have to correct any tail skids at the moment they appear, you don't have any time to think about your correction. but as far as you don't overshoot too much on your corner speed and use a little time to know your car you could be fine :)the MR driving feeling is just fantastic when you learn to handle it! :D

[@OliTayler]

@@norwaymr2 Awesome video! Would you be able to go into any detail on the steering mod you did? I would love to reduce the steering ratio on my MR2 for track use, the only way I can see of doing this is a custom rack!

Awesome lap, awesome car. I know you gave us the turbo but what other engine mods are you running? I own a Rev3 1994 MR2. It's only running a Gen3 3sge, only 175HP or so though. I'm hoping to buy a GT model once I get the money or to drop a turbo engine in.

Hi Mate, nice vid and looks like you were having some fun :) if you don't mind me asking what gearbox are you running in the car?

[@lucywucyyy]

why did they put the track entrance half way down the straight?

[@izzelyy3189]

It looks like the turbo makes the car unstable in 2nd. You had to catch it several times. The Z4 driver at the end was good!

[@1compaqedr8]

So 500hp you said right? How did you setup suspension to be neutral and not oversteer?

[@MrKnarleyMarley]

Eugene Collins the assist on these cars isn't huge either. Even with the power steering it feels pretty close to none. They did a great job! But I believe some 3sgte models came w/ out the power steering. Mine has pretty great feel ❤️. You really do have to get used to grabbing it by the scruff of the neck in these though :)!

[@frankymr2]

Its electric power steering , it really feels heavy. I love my mr2 and remember how heavy it felt. Still drives like a go kart tho.

[@Shadow1986]

"assists" What assists? ABS? A lot of racers both track and street disable it on the sw20

[@thrasher10000]

So is this engine totally custom or is it a heavily modded 3sgte? Awesome driving btw, handled that snap oversteer well when it popped up

[@fukkinkana]

What did you do to get that quick of a steering ratio?

[@norwaymr2]

Braddah E, I chopped off the steering arms on the hubs about an icy and made new conical holes for the steering joint 😉

[@norwaymr2]

No I just shortened the steering arms on the front hubs. :) This has saved me a lot of times.. The mr2 needs superquick countersteer if you dont want to loose it...
