Mr2mch4s2k,

This is Albert, that video is me racing Wes's supercharge S2000. Wes's car is very fast, but I heard from Todd that you got some major modification done to your MR2. Is it all done and tune yet? Let me know and I'll be there when you guys race. BTW, Wes is a cool guy.

Man Albert...you need to keep your mouth shut! You know the first person I am going to engage on for some sweet revenge is you. Man, Todd doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut either, does he?

In any case, no that stuff hasn't been done yet. But soon...soon! Albert, I left you a message on your phone, give me a call.

Shawn Manderspankin you when I get my sh** done

Hey mr2mch4s2k this is off topic but how many 95 MR2 turbo's were made, i'm having a hell of a time finding one? If i can find one its gonna be my project car, i always loved the 91-95 MR2 generation, sweet looking rides. Would you say that aftermarket parts are reasonably priced for your car, S2000 aftermarket stuff is so expensive. I would rather get another car and tune it than tune the S2000.

zerin...oh don't worry, I'll let you get a piece of me too!

Liquid...less than 300 MR2 sold in the U.S.A. in '95. That includes both n/a's and turbo's. You would have a much better chance finding a '91-'93. '93 is the year that Toyota made some very nice changes...like limited-slip comes stock, and bigger brakes, bigger wheels, and a suspension change. Plus I would hate to see you heavily modify such a rare car with a '95 if it is stock when you get it! Here are all the numbers...in '91...there were around 12,000 MR2's sold in the U.S.A., in '92...about 8,000, in '93...about 2800, '94...about 850, and '95...less than 300. These aren't exact, but very close.

Ok, so I have a question about the S2K...how much does the car weigh?

Well that explains why i can't find a 95 MR2 turbo, only 300 in 95, MR2 is rarer than S2000, why did toyota decide to even sell in 94-95 if they were only gonna sell less than 1500 cars in both years combined? I would love to get my hands on one of them if i could, if i find 95 i will keep it stock due to its rarity, if i get 93 or 94 its gettin modded. Thanks for the info mr2mch4s2k.

S2000's curb weight as listed in owners manuel for 2001 models is 2809lbs., i dunno if thats with gas in the tank or not.

Shawn,

No luck trying to call you back, but I will be at Starbuck at Westhimer and Post Oak tonight. Hopefully you can make it.

So we're talking about both the MR2 and the S2000 weighing between 2800 and 2900 pounds. They are about the exact same weight...that's awesome.

Tried calling you back Albert, but didn't get through. I will try to make it out to Westeimer this evening but no garantee's. What time are you going to be at that Starbucks?

Imagine that, Wesmaster and his amazing sidekick Audi boy and the houston crew playing patsy with a "mere" MR2 that wants to race. The gaul of some people! He doesnt know who he's messing with does he? You'll show him wont ya!
Dont worry Mr2 guy, if they talk smack to ya and turns out you can mop the floor with their cars they'll call out one of their other goons to take care of business...Talk big, find someone else to back it up, thats what momma always said.....





MR2, spank em.
