Default MR2 questions...

I did a search on google and didnt find much.

I just bought a 93' turbo.

I know they are somehow better than the 91/92's but i dont know why?? better suspension or something? gotta be something else.

better suspension, better drivetrain with lsd, better brakes i believe, better ecu, better rims/tires

extremely beautiful car u have. one of my good friends had one that was identical to yours when he first bought it. extremely fun car to drive. handles like its on rails and can launch just as good or better than awd cars. the stock motor can handle around 450-500hp. he ran a 13.2 with a shitty 2.2 60 ft with just 16psi (manual boost controller), 3" exhaust, k&n, bov.

Most have lsd...some do not. The suspension is better and about 1" lower. Bigger brakes. Front lip.

But the best part is the revised dual-cone syncros in the tranny!!!

I know it does, that car is tight as a drum.

I couldnt believe how well that car handled with the 14'' stock wheels and tires.

BTW- you should get your spare key soemtime next week.

If you look inside the door you will see an axle transmission code. Something like "A/TM E153/735" If the "735" number actually 734, then it doesn't have LSD.

At least i think that shoudl tell you.

80% of 93+ mr2's have lsd. So its a pretty good chance you do have it.
