    The original Mk1.5 is currently, almost, for sale. Owned by Deno, was featured in SCC. If anyone's interested...

    4X100 supra wheels? I like that very much

    I noticed this as well. I'd say its more likely that the bolt pattern on the car was changed to 4x114.3. I guess that'd be the case if Corolla brakes or the like were used.

    Do you AutoX with the Autocross Club of Central Oregon? If so, I have seen you compete and your car is a SCREAMER! Either way nice 1g mr2!

    Are the ones with T-tops significantly weaker structurally? Would love to put my 2zz drivetrain into one...

  • Matt B

    April 21, 2010 9:26 a.m. Matt B Reader

    They are a little more flexible and a little heavier, but nothing so significant that I would write them off. People still track them without problems or complaints, even with 3sgte swaps. Just plan on replacing the T-top seals if the PO hasn't already.

    Hey, I can play too! I sold this one to another autox'er somewhere around 2005. As usual, I wish I still had it.

    THIS thread needs to be posted in the MRS vs 350Z debate. The answer there is AW11.

    In reply to P71:

    I was here first before I put up the posting you refer to. Actually the answer would be AW11, but I really want a new, 'more reliable' car. I have 2 MA60 Supras already, enough of the brittle sun faded plastics and wonky A/C...

    I would support that. You can find them for CHEAP if you look around, too.

    Local buddy of mine just grabbed a 92 for $3000 in pretty nice shape.

    I hate all of you AW11 owners Hate youuuuuuu T_T

    Too bad Toyota can't just put these back into production, and sell them to us with a waiver that says we know and accept the fact that if we crash this headlong into a semi at 60mph we will not survive and cannot hold Toyota liable. I'd line camp for a preorder ticket.

    They're pretty strong in the front.

    Put your 2ZZ in a MK3! Much better idea, plus it's bolt-in.
