That's one of the most striking SW20 examples I've seen in a long time.
Dan Coleman-Goss search UA-cam for Petrolicious MR2. The red one in that video is incredible.
Justin will be happy to hear that
RegularCars he'll be happy to hear about the red petrolicious mr2? Lol.
I want a Sard MC8 review next...If there's still any around lol.
@@RegularCars I'm just as happy being able to see such a slick machine
This was once my dream car. Its still pretty high up there on the toys list
haaaaagbaaaaaard
I seeeee youuuu
HagbardCeline I wish if I could own an MR2 but MR2's are freaking rare in Bahrain. I only saw one ZZW30 at the US Navel Base. In comparison, I saw plenty of MK4/MK3/MK2 Supra's on the road.
HagbardCeline please tell me how you improvised?
Definitely on my mid life crisis car list
I have one, they are very fun cars :-) get one! The MR2 community is awesome too!
Oh roman you killed that at the end...puddle o mud

Pleasantly suprised to hear that. Also, cut the chatter Wardog 3
YEEEEEEEEEEES I'm glad I wasn't the only one
dude straight slayed it
I'm currently grinding through a paper for my senior design project due in 4 hours and this just made my night so much better.
I wish you the best of luck and college is not for everyone and will be more liberating, fun and less stressful while more stressful at the same time
billy joe i don't miss that shit. Knock it out dude.
"Toyota headgasket."
Mk3 Supra we remember thee... uhh... well, at least Toyota learned their lesson.
Hmm, is there a specialised mkIII Supra shop, as is Prime for MR2s?
I'm unaware of this with the MK3, did it just keep blowing headgaskets? What was the problem?
AeRiaL Basically the 7M-GTE (the engine Americans were stuck with) werent able to handle the turbo they shoehorned in, so the headgaskets blew. Extremely frequently. Same situation as the MR2 apparently. Some fellas figured out the correct amount of pressure to torque wrench the headgasket to make it... better, but eh... It had other problems as well, I guess with the fuel pump.
Toyota made the legendary and over engineered 1JZ (Japan only... woo...) in response to this. A lot of people just swap out their 7M for a 1JZ or 2JZ.
TheAnalXylophone Driftmotion has become the one stop shop for A70 Supras these days. They've even gotten into producing their own parts.
Ahh, that sucks. Didn't realise the 7M was that sketch to work with.
Cheers for the explanation c:
Last time I was this early Mr. Regular had a Toyota Echo
That's the cleanest MR2 I've seen!
I have to give it to Justin, he did a fantastic job of restoring that mr2. The paint job is phenomenal, the rims compliment the car, the body kit is nice. Interior looks nice. 10/10 gorgeous.
It doesn't matter if you own an MR2, a GTR or a lambo, a Delorean will always steal the show if present.
im wreaking my brain trying to think of a single car more show stealing than a delorean
Only a slightly different delorean will steal the show from a delorean.
antsolja: Probably no other production car will steal the show from a DeLorean - one would need to show up in a world-championship winning race car, the Tumbler or a Main Battle Tank to steal its show...
A DB5, just.
Jose Perez II You're damn right.
Bttf replica>stock delorean
Damn look at those clean lines, this must be the best looking mr2 I have ever seen.
Thing looks so good I love them all . I love all the Japanese sports cars from the 80s and 90s .
God, that MR2 is beautiful.
Been wanting an MR2 to build for a while now, much like this one. Thanks for the review and resource.
ANOTHER MR2 VIDEO YES YES YES
The SW20 does have it's Back To The Future moment in Initial D. Sure, it's nowhere near the Trueno, but any respectable ID fan remembers Kai Kogashiwa and his Irohazaka jump on his SW20.
Fuck trueno/AE86 circlejerk caused by that anime. MR2s and Celica GTFours are much better cars than AE86 or Supra ever was... thanks to this stupid circlejerking it's impossible to get AE86 or Supras for proper prices. Instead they cost 3-4 times as much as they ever should, but then MR2 and Celica's dodged the bullet of mainstream circlejerking......
The Trueno is a slow donkey...
Let's just hope nobody tries it IRL without increasing rideheight and putting rally mods on one.
Tavarish would be jealous with this. He got the nicer taillights too
Here's my modded Snap Oversteer mobile.
ToyGTone Clueless
270 snap oversteers to the rear wheels
"Geddy style intercooler, Freddy lip and sideskirts" get it together Mr. Regular! Its Greddy***
itsallac0nspiracy Not sure what you mean by that. I was just joking.
Jeremy Williams you're a fucking idiot, Freddy is a common term for fake Greddy. It's eBay but in the style of a Greddy. Learn before you correct people.
Kai Kogashiwa 2.0 :P
Coilover Killer.
@@thenutbucket5971 Ha!
I saw a Fiero in New Zealand last week
Just saying
Some Kiwi My uncle used to own a 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE back in the day and it's currently in my grandpa's garage collecting dust and waiting to get "restomod" by me.
Someone brought a fiero to the RCR Auckland meet. LHD and everything. Even Mr Regular himself was surprised
wow. I have never seen one ever here in nz, yet I've owned 2 sw20's.
FUCK you
As someone who owned a '91 Turbo that put down about 430-450 whp by the time I finally sold it, I'd put the trap-door air volume sensor up there pretty high on problems, as well. Less for reliability reasons and more as a roadblock to tuning the motor once modified. Other annoyance include access to the fuel tank, the electro-hydraulic power steering system (all of it), the cable clutch, and the double pulley throttle/cruise motor. And then there's the pneumatic-controlled variable intake manifold, the 5th fuel injector in the throttle, the crazy pneumatic staged boost control and relief valve... the list goes on. This car was literally a dumping ground for all the crazy engineering projects Toyota had in the early 90's.
Most everything you listed was corrected with the JDM 94+ MR2s and the gen3 engine. No more AFM, TVIS, or cold start injector. The MR2 never had a cable clutch though, always hydraulic.
Yeah, and that would be fantastic except we didn't get any of that here. Hydraulic clutch? What did I replace the bushing on with a brass bearing then... shift linkage cable? It's been about 8 years since I sold mine off.
This car is very, VERY nicely done.
Muddle of Pud?
Holy hell, that is a beautiful looking MR2. Cleanest one I think I have seen in forever. My little bro will be super jealous since he was an MR2 driver for around 10ish years.
Was about to sleep but the release of this video woke me harder than snap oversteer....
YOU know what time it is.
I want that color on my mr2. This is actually how I want mine to look. The circle shifter, the kouki lights, rpf1s... yum
Omfg this looks beautiful in blue 😍😍
The great thing about living in South East Asia is that rcr uploads in the middle of the day
You could have never said this thing wasn't stock and I would have never known. Very tasteful mods done to this beauty. Even the non-period correct parts look natural.
I'm so happy. You made this video. I'm currently saving for an sw20 as we speak.
WORD!
Oh my. Roman is so fucking good in this outro it gives me a goosebumps.
I never thought I would see Kai Koshigawa in the United States.
I love how The MR2 and the Silvia (especially the S13) are such amazing survivors in the modern age.
Hah am I that one DeLorean guy?
If you have to ask...
I'm that MR2 guy
If you bring it to car meets than yes, you’re THAT GUY.
*hears intro music*
Woo woo sootootoo, you know it turbro.
Oh radio! Tell me everything you know!
this thing is damn pretty!, i wish mr2s did have a bigger fanbase but the cult following they have is good enough i guess, and god bless prime for putting all the parts in one place that will make things alot easier
Nooo please have them lowkey till I get mine 😒
Very nicely done. I would do it in matte grey or something, but I dig this. One of my best friends had one with a better aftermarket turbo with about 350whp and it was one of the most fun cars I've ever driven.
RPF1's look good on everything.
Indeed! I'd rather get an RPF1 over the too-common and significantly more expensive TE37s.
Oh sweet seeing one of these and the shop you mentioned. Will head over to their site to see what they have.
Can we talk about how much influence AvE has on modern UA-camrs?
Dickhead Bear instructions unclear dick caught in ceiling fan
Oh man, Puddle of Mudd cover at the end. Such fond memories hearing that when playing Ace Combat 5. YUS
Beautiful you have done quite well. Toyota if you are listening keep the breed alive.
Clicked on this video not realizing it's a RegularCar review. My excitement grew 4 levels at that moment lol!
2 years later...the MR2 legend grows.
Ive heard this in previous videos, in PA, 15 years is a classic, 25 in antique
Wow. I think that's my dream car -- a properly tuned 90's MR2 that is already fixed-up so I don't have to do it myself.
Yes papi regular
It's definitely my favorite MR2 generation.
I'm in LOVE with the look of that engine.
This is such a great car but the internet has made me jaded and this horsepower doesn't meet my expectations. It's still probably faster than I can handle though.
Rule of thumb with 2nd gen MR2s is to take the numbers and imagine what they'd be like in a sports bike to get an idea of how quickly it's going to kill you.
I saw you guys shooting this about a month or so ago and was wondering if it was you. Hell yeah.
Love it! Beautiful car! And I like this format a lot better where you actually go over the mods and don't get too extreme with the commentary.
I will never tire of regularMR2reviews
MR2: My first car crush! Great little machines.
I remember when Prime was cool and did swaps and had good prices.
Nice Corolla steering wheel!
NOT A KIWI
this was like prime RCR, probable top all time episodes material
This was a really enjoyable video 😊 that blue mr2 was beautiful 🤩
well, actually better than most modern machines.
These guys are right in my neighborhood, always got tons of MR2s sitting around
I was driving to my grandma's and I found a mint 1993 MR2 turquoise 5 speed NA. It was even owned by an older gentleman and we ended up agreeing on a price and I was back the next day to pick it up. Unfortunately I sold it because I was a little too tall to be able to comfortably fit and the seat wouldn't recline any more. It was a truly beautiful car to look at and to drive.
I got an older guy across the street from me with a original bone stock red 94 MR2 with only 70,000 miles and he bought it brand new
It's Finally becoming a thing to have a clean MR2
Haha! It took a minute to catch that the Roman's first parody was of "Radio."
XanCrews by who?
Watt White. Zack Ryder's best theme.
Spotted one in the company's parking lot. I saw it and thought to myself damn I need one too some day. I saw it before online and videos don't really do it justice.
Look at Project Binky on here. The whole drive train from this car expertly crammed into a original Mini Cooper shell. Took 4 yeasr to do both amazing and funny
Once I saw this blue MR2, I KNEW it was from Prime Driven. I immediately tapped to watch this video
Didn't have morning wood, now I do.
Thanks RCR
I think these cars have aged really well. Still look great today even with little modification. I need one
One of, if not the best, looking car y'all have ever covered.
One day I will own a SW20. Not as my daily, but as the car that only sees sunny weekends
I would rather have this than any other classic JDM car. Forget supra and skyline. This is beautiful
‘Member when this show’s bit involved things like Mr. Regular sitting on the can implying he was going to use a power drill with a spade bit to relieve his constipation?
Good times.
Awesome commentary - fun, informative and at a good pace.
That parts list is more JDM than a "tofu shop moon runes" Gear Lever imported straight from Akhiabara
I can attest to all of this. I'm going through hell sorting my car out right now. Bought my mr2 turbo as it stood, "someone else's project". I think I do have a blown headgasket, and the intercooler fans I had did not work. I actually just bought a little specialty rad hose from Prime MR2, and they had to wait on the part from Toyota. He communicated this greatly though, and even refunded my shipping and sent a key tag in as well. I asked for neither haha. Great company, difficult car..
Here's to keeping them on the road.
I have one newly in my driveway but never get a ride in it for now! ... Thanks for your interresting videos.
As a car enthusiast ;)
This same community exists for the Fiero. But the Fiero is so much more moddable. There's sources for everything and you can put almost any engine in it.
The "Bang" reminded me of that guy from NBA games on ABC
The greddy side skirts completely change these cars.
Glad to see another MR2 Video. Love these cars (especially the SW20), and I nearly bought one but I went with a ‘97 328i instead. Still would love to own one someday
A Friend of mine has this very car, but engine swapped it with a stock Sienna and threw a turbo to about 12psi... Fucking scary, but I love it
Now thats a great looking SW20
As an MR2 owner, I fully support this video!
*Nice set of Okudai PR02s on that*
Man this was a solid video. From r
Roman's singing to Mr. Regular geek in out about mr2s. Thanks for the info about the inner coolers.
The MR2 Prime, here to fight the evil that is the Prius Prime
WOW that exhaust sounds great!
They do gen4 swaps and are a great little company
I actually just found out about this company a couple weeks ago while looking for parts for my aw11; nice.
preparing myself to see this reposted on the MR2OC page every half hour for eternity.
Apart from the rear spoiler, wheels and colour, that is exactly how I'd want a Mk2 MR2 to look.
The spoiler is perfect
I always loved that duel exhaust system.
Nice to know the Rome listens to the "radio".
x6dingle6x by who?
I really want to make my SW20 show worthy some day, it has 400K miles on the original motor and clutch, its my daily driver at the moment. Part of me wants to do an electric conversion, but the other half of me wants to keep it semi pure and do a turbo swap, or maybe an MK3 engine. I get a lot of parts at mr2srus but prime driven will probably be my next stop, they have good prices on all the replacement trim pieces that have cracked that i need. I should probably address the suspension first though, most of its original.
I swtg I will personally show up to your house and shame, not you, but your parents for raising such a disappointment if you convert it to electric.
Regular car reviews is reinforcing the ideal that night owels can be productive.
Stock USDM MR2 turbo actually ran 11.8 psi at full boost.
I cant even explain why (or how much) i love the mr2...
Shout out needed for Honda Preludes, for the small popularity/ fierce loyalist crowd.
MR2 will always be my favourite car.
Luv and Peace.
