I have the same car (and A LOT of videos on it lol). Love what the owner did with this one, it's amazing how enkei rpf1 wheels suit the mk1 mr2, glad the owner went with them. It's nice to see that there's people out there tastefully tuning and properly taking care of these cars. Thanks for keeping it on the road.
I like the OEM front lip from the ‘85-‘86. I’ve always thought the ‘87-‘89 front lip was too big, looks like a cheap aftermarket option. I have a 1985 with a 4agze swap with staggered 15” ZZW30 wheels and the plumley spoiler mod.
Hi, miata and MR2 owner here. The MR2 is actually quite a bit less horsepower than a stock miata, and about the same weight. The difference is how much you can rap out the 4age. The TVIS system really makes the upper RPM's sound amazing, which makes you want to just climb to redline. These are notorious for snap oversteer, and you do not want to drive it like other RWD cars. Mid corner lift in a canyon drive can make for a bad day. I'd say that the roll bar is adding 0 benefit. Stock, you can jack an entire side of the car at a single point on the chassis. It's a very rigid chassis with the the rear firewall being directly behind the driver, that roll bar is essentially bolted into the stiffest part of the car. T-top cars won't be as rigid as tin top and sunroof cars, but they are infinitely more stiff than a stock miata chassis. Bushings can make a huge difference on these 30+ year old cars. The car looks to be a very clean example with minimal rust (there's no such thing as a rust free aw11), and interior in good shape, but to really have fun with these you need to look at one that has been swapped to a 20v 4age, a 3SGTE (mk1.5) or a v6 (1mz/2GR). Cheers!
Krautastic red top for sure. It'd be nice to see a TRD swapped AW11! Or even a rotary:O wish someone would do an awd swap as well. Dream build( AW11+rotary+awd TRD rally kit=legend)
My dream would be twin-charged MR2 Mk1 ;) But Krautastic, what point do you mean where I can jack the entire car up. When I look under my AW11 there are just a few places where you can jack up the car but with 1 jack the entire car I would not trust that.
Just bought a donor car to V6 swap my AW since the 4age is puking oil. For jacking the car up, what I mean is, you can place a jack right around the firewall between the engine/passenger compartment and if you jack the car up, it lifts the front and rear tires on that side. When I got to the track, if I'm changing out my wheels and tires I do this, but the car is only lifted for maybe a minute or two, and I certainly don't get under the car. If I'm doing work on the car, then I support it correctly with 2-4 jack stands.
I love those first gen MR2's when they have some tasteful, functional body mods and a decent set of wheels. That triangle shape is a little harsh but the side skirts really help it. Dude has cool little car.
Steering a little loose? On nay car if this is so, drop ur front tire pressure up to and no more that 2 psi. 1 psi worked great for me and no oversteer what so ever
The 4AGZE only produced about 25hp more than NA, so not much to shout about. I'm gonna drop in a 3.5ltr V6 which will produce 325hp. That's what I'm talking about 👌
Dude great content but you have to stop talking about you what you think you’re evil and what your favorite steering wheel is. JustAnd advice but you’ve cut the poor guy off so many times after asking him a question as he’s getting ready to answer you cut him off with something about what you feel or what you think of whatever it is that you guys are talking about. I’m subscribed to your channel I hope you’re good at taking constructive criticism. Honestly it was a bit annoying and I couldn’t finish the whole video. I left at three minutes and 45 seconds I couldn’t handle your approach. Again you’re asking, you’re hosting, listening and agreeing goes along way. It will make it a little more enjoyable and occasionally add some of your thoughts to what he saying. Again I’m looking for more Content from you that I’m sure I will enjoy. Again your content is great your approach please adjust. Good luck
"so im just going for a test ride" proseedes to rev the shit out of the engine the entire time, shift gears to destroy and just... no... no dude.. you dont borrow another dudes car that he clearly spent ALLOT of time fixing up and just revbomb the shit out of it and shifting gears doing more harm than good... this was painfull to watch :/
That's a spot on Mark 1 MR2... the review dude seems pretty clueless about cars though...
i basically watch to hear what the owners say, host is just a fuccboi
This guy is like asking, "Is this a Ferrari?"

Picking up a 1985 Mr2 tomorrow!
So mexican version of One take?
"What kind of seat you got here...." It says BRIDE on it like 50 times!

I love these Jonah Hill car reviews.
Lmao
I've had 3 of those and I want another one. Please stop saying Miata.

pretty cool how he has techno toy tuning on the rear coils
T3 makes great stuff.
Pffffft 😆 🤣 😂 t3 makes stuff thats about it
sick I just picked up a 1985 mr2 literally last night in Riverside!
Hey, it's been a while since you posted this, how's ownership been like?
What he said
Old Hotdogwater you alive andwer
How you doing now?
The dude reviewing is talking out of his ass. Only clicked on the video to look at the car
I love those first gen MR2's when they have some tasteful, functional body mods and a decent set of wheels. That triangle shape is a little harsh but the side skirts really help it. Dude has cool little car.
The reviewer seems biased against the vehicle and clueless. Dude your reviewing this car not comparing it to yours.
If you would like to continue following his build , his IG is kamina86! Great driver !
driftcastle Solo thanks hanh!
You've been doing Toyota videos only lately and I love it
Nice looking aw11! Very clean. I had 5 3/4 aw11's at one stage, only got 2 left now. :( One I have owned for 25 years. Love them. Love the 4ag!
Steering a little loose? On nay car if this is so, drop ur front tire pressure up to and no more that 2 psi. 1 psi worked great for me and no oversteer what so ever
Mk1, probounced Mark 1. Not M K 1 :P
Cool as car are! Small and fun!! Love the old school cars you're featuring
what do you think MK stands for? lol
Mark 1 B to be more precise 😁
This makes me
Miss my MR2 so much
Beautiful aw11. I love the rpf1s and the not too low ride height.
you need to go back to your original style of car videos. I'm sure they take more time but that style of videos is what brought me here.
5.45 can see the Toyota wagon in the background from the other vid.
I am really hoping those cars still exist when I'm an adult cause my dream car is a 1988 mr2
How old are you now?
Im 13 now
But I dont really like mr2s anymore
any short films...still waiting for some
Black, I had one and they right
u should try a aw11 with a 20v blacktop 4age
Hope to be featured someday, it'll give me an excuse to come to Cali again.
Hell yeah finally a MK1... Come review mine if you're ever in Texas, it's wide af with fender flares.
Please research more, less repeating what you say, and try to treat others cars better when you're test driving them- personal opinion.
That was my first review and with time I will get better. I'll take note of what you're saying.
No offense bro👌🏻 like that you're getting the rare toyotas:)
agreed. research research research
I thought he drove a little soft. No complaints. Do what you think is best. The opinion of one person is meaningless.
God I loves these cars. Just wish they were faster
I'd love to see you do 1st gen RX-7. One with some aggressive porting (bridgeport!!). That should be super fun on some mountain roads
I don’t want to rude but how did he fit himself to that bucket seat?
favorite parts how many favorite parts do you have...?
btw dope car wish I could of kept mines....
it's always great when I see an mr2... MK2 I prefer
Car looks sick
Mark one b aw11 and it only came with the 4age blue and red top
wonder how the owner likes those 595 rs-rr's want a set for my z06
@Brax_beezy owner herr, they are great tires for cheap, lots of grip.
sick car. this dude got a bad wheel bearing or something though? I keep hearing weird background noise...
LOL yes that was my wheel bearing, its fixed now
Much respect 4 that awesome car
He should do an mk2 tt swap that would be sick !
The 4AGZE only produced about 25hp more than NA, so not much to shout about. I'm gonna drop in a 3.5ltr V6 which will produce 325hp. That's what I'm talking about 👌
"the cockpit of this car is amazing, even my chubster ass can fit inside!"
lol i think the toyota corona was in the background
Yep we filmed both cars the same day
The Mr2 had a 3AG Option in the 80s.
the SC 4AGZE option came in 86 and went up to 89.
Simon!!!👍
Backhanded complements

Discount One Take...

By the way a metal pipe is made out of metal. 🙈

Jan Kosamo just saying LOL

😂 😂 All I can hear is the wheel bearing...... Cool car but it needs a passenger seat and a wheel bearing lol.
Hey it's Bruce Lee!

em kay 1... Jesus dude. Powershifting someone else's car is a dick move, don't do that.
let's see some muscle cars
The guy reviewing this car is absolutely clueless about how to drive it.
Bad drivin(crappy shifting)..
