AW11 and SW20 MR2

[nostuner03]

Anybody a Midship Runabout 2seater owner?

IIRC Time_Attack has an SW20, Azuremen had an AW11 followed by an MR-S.

And since you play TXR3, play a bit of spot the reference

AW11/SW20 here.

 

[nostuner03]

any mods to your mr2s time attack?

 

[Time_Attack]

Yes.

 

[nostuner03]

ok...lol. what kind?

 

[Time_Attack]

My '91 turbo has significant weight reduction thanks to having caught fire last year. Prior to that it had a ported turbo, 3 inch exhaust and some other stuff. Pretty quick for being untuned. Always ran about 15psi. I started rebuilding it but have lost interest recently.

My '86 NA is pretty basic. Suspension, wheels, bolt ons. I've had it a few years. I race it from time to time. Its not quick but its small and nimble which lets me dance around the cones.

2 AW11's at various points and an ZZW30 till last year.

One of the AW11's had a 4A-GE 20V silvertop, along with a list of mods that is just too much to write down at this point. Was fun to drive but a bit of a hassle; the MR-S was vastly more stable and easy to manage in corners, while not being that much slower in a straight line.

wow that sucks about your sw time attack..dont give up on it!. and to azuremen, a 20v in your aw? im sure that was fun. i blew my red top early this year...

 

[Time_Attack]

I'd really like to get out of it and get into an AE86. I've already got a new engine in it and all that but I don't really feel like finishing it and just having it break again because thats all it has ever done.

 

[nostuner03]

Ae86 are pretty cool. I used to want one before I got my Aw11.

 

[Time_Attack]

I don't have any good photos of mine. I'd rather drive it than look at it. Here is one someone else took last year I think. Still looks the same. Wheels are Advans not rotas.

I used to own a 86 MR2, green and gold. Paid $175, soon after, started burning about a quart of oil every 150 miles! My brother left it in a Wal-Mart parking lot for about two weeks due to a starter problem and it got towed.

Only car i've ever owned with a working AC.

 

[Azuremen]

As for the AE86, pretty much over that car.

I used to own a '92 SW-20 japanese import, great car to drive fast, but really not very practical as an every day car. I had the boost turned up to 1 bar, 3" exhaust, pod filter and uprated ignition leads. It was as fast a car as I would want on the road and felt a bit lively over at over 160 kmh on bends, kind of hairy head gasket blew and I put a TRD one in (nasty car to work on) and sold it, to buy another ae86.

There is a good chance I may be buying an n/a aw11 later in the year from my friend. It's a decent car that I think has good potential. It is really enjoyable to drive just a little slow in the strait line.

My sister has an AW11, all stock.

JDM Targa Top AW11 here.

 

[nostuner03]

Heres my "Project Sakura" videos documenting the process of rebuilding my JDM 4age "red top" small port. I just got all the money I need to rebuild my motor the other day. I will be making more videos as progress is made. *Edit* I never see any AW11's with my front lip....
