Would you buy a clean MR2 Turbo for $25k USD? Are they still worth it? Especially knowing they were 1/2 that just a few years ago...

@Bawkr 7 ай бұрын

Kind of. Essentially looking at putting that much money and or time into a 74 Celica, so if the MR2 is more preferred for you then it's probably worth it.

considering the sheer joy i get from all of mine.. yes. yes i would. these cars dont have anything remotely close to how they feel for even 25k these days

a stock 1991 MR2 Turbo with very low mileage just sold for $47K, I think it was on bringatrailer

This car is worth it no matter the price

@SupraSav 7 ай бұрын

Some decent ones can be found for $25k CAD, with 125k-150k on the clock. Not sure about "no matter the price", but I would def pay that for a well kept SW20.

My modified 2600 lbs 91 MR2 Turbo with 400HP is still the best driving gas car I’ve ever owned. I’ve bought and sold other sports cars, but the MR2 is the only car that’s stayed in my collection. 😂

@kyliegomez2439 2 ай бұрын

stock internals? and what gen 3s?

@User_admin147 2 ай бұрын

can you share your build? I'd love to know more about the 400hp build

@Infinite.phases 6 ай бұрын

I agree. Putting a Kswap instead of a 3sGte in an mr2 is like putting a B58 instead of a 2jz into an Mrk 4 Supra. Yes the motor is better in practical terms but still, it just doesn’t belong. K motors are bad ass though. Best thing to do is buy an automatic mr2 and swap it, you’ll never feel bad for that swap

I love the turbo spooling behind my ears. That never gets old, i spool it up on dark country roads just to listen to that sound.

@jeffknowles2648 7 ай бұрын

I have a 97 rhd 3sgte mr2, if you want the big power you could always just go 5s block with your 3sgte head to keep it Toyota instead of K series . Imo I think 350w 3s is more than enough fun though. Nice mr2, enjoyed the content.

@RoadsUntraveled 7 ай бұрын

350whp is plenty in an SW20. So much fun

@iJakku 7 ай бұрын

I would say no as a buyer, but from a market point of view yes. This thing in my opinion is just as great as the supra.

My 91 needs a clutch........ And rear main seal. Been using atp-205 for the last few years. It's stock except for 15s up front 195..... And 17 215 in the rear...... replaced the alternator and they won't come out the top on turbos. ........... What a pain that was..... Nice vid........... ; )

@RadionAMD 23 күн бұрын

Dam many. After owning many cars after my MR2, I started to appreciate the MR2 more. The car has so much potential. It is so fun and can be a disgustingly fast track car. Long live MR2. Will be my forever car ofc

@nftminter7922 2 ай бұрын

As an owner of a 93 na hardtop, the question of keep it stock or retromod is one of the biggest dilemmas I've ever faced.

@seaniebounce 2 күн бұрын

It's absolutely still worth it. Id said honestly, there are cars not as good than the mr2 turbo that cost more....

@johnny5549 7 ай бұрын

awesome video!

@junitoortega8656 7 ай бұрын

Great video as always! I always wanted one of these and although I can afford it I wouldn't buy one just because the availability of parts. I used to own a 3rd gen MR2 for 5 years and loved every mile I put in that car but then I ran into the problem of trying to find parts for it because they started to discontinue a lot of them, so it became increasingly expensive to keep it on the road and in good condition, add that the fact that shipping parts to Puerto Rico is another hassle. This led me to sell it and never look at MR2's again unless Toyota brings it back.

@RoadsUntraveled 7 ай бұрын

Yeah it's getting tougher, but I feel like there are MR2-specific groups that have picked up the slack a bit as far as parts availability goes

Lotus Emira will have/has the AMG turbo motor behind you, but isn't manual sadly. Could be a cool car with power mods and maybe a merc manual somehow..

@ekamvirk7599 7 ай бұрын

The supercharged v6 manual emira is pretty good atleast, and its only a few grand more. The 4 cylinder cars will prolly depreciate the most so the second owner aftermarket will be there someday.

@@ekamvirk7599 I think so too. You can get a early Evora here in the U.K for £25-30k now. I've been watching them like a hawk for that reason lol

The toyota engine sounds better for sure tho and makes it sort of a more premium modern mr2

@@yota8325 💡Hmmm, I wonder what a Toyota GR 3-cylinder turbo motor would be like in the Lotus? 🤔😂 I'm starting to feel like if Toyota won't give us a new MR2 soon, we could get pretty close ourselves by re-badging a lotus and stealing from Toyotas parts bins like Toyota did BMW lol

@LeonelCortes 5 ай бұрын

Mine is getting painted. Is an USDM clean SW22 and I'm keeping it stock. I think that there are so many Sw21 that an SW22 getting swap is a crime. There are tons of NAs that begged to be swapped to a gen 3 or a Kswap. no need to swap a turbo. I thing the Sw22 is begs a premium only if its stock. There are sw21 evrywere, not worth 20k. That being said this is my car that i love, and Ill be keeping it until I'm too old to drive it. And the price again be 2k....

@locovaldez6943 6 ай бұрын

I’m still finding Mr2s for 3k-5k in California. Granted they aren’t pretty, they need work. But I’d rather buy a crappier Mr2, build it and drive it. Most 20-30k Mr2s aren’t going to be driven as much or as hard as those inexpensive Mr2s.
