Re: MK1a Owner (US)

Finished listing most of the modifications to my 86 MR2, check my garage on the site. I can probably find pictures or take better ones if anyone wants to see more. Photography used to be a hobby of mine, I have a lot of MR2 photos on flickr under the same user name.

Re: MK1a Owner (US)

Thanks :thumleft:

I've got plans to refresh the engine in my mk1a, so I'm searching everywhere for ideas. Currently I've got a TRD header, 256 HKS cams, adjustable cam gears and a C56 transmission in waiting.
