You're (!) just too clever for us! If the AYC isn't a form of traction control, then I don't know what is! And anyway, who cares because MR2s and EVOs are both so blantantly both "drivers" cars..... 
!!!YES EVO DRIVERS ARE BIG HEADS!!! 
myself i like a car that i can drive . not into cars like the evo which does everything for you 
...IT'S ONLY A BLOODY CAR! I know the SW20's no Elise but it handles both 'good' and 'bad' enough for me...I like a bit of a challenge and it can be fast when driven well but, fair to say, tricky if not. Never driven an Evo or the like so can't comment but wouldn't own one myself mainly because of the looks...think they look very ordinary and just not particularly nice.'round the twisties' also only really holds much water when you're talking about a twisty road *with a sightline* - your safe speed is only as quick as you can go whilst still being able to stop within the stretch of road you can actually see. In many circumstances a very ordinary car will be able to go this fast and anything 'quicker' just means lining yourself up for a bigger crash when it all goes wrong. 
Tell us another...if I did want to spend that much on a car (which I don't), it wouldn't be on one of those. 
The MR2 is stonking value and a great drive, but please people, keep it in perspective too. Times have moved on and in ultimate terms there is much better out there now...but if you want a capable, fun and great-looking car for £4k or so they are still hard to beat...drove an E36 318is round Brands and was pretty impressed although that did have a cage etc which I'm sure helped matters. By contrast I felt my mate's E36 M3 was extremely disappointing compared to my tubby...felt slow and cumbersome and I really was not impressed at all.Aidy wrote:ryan wrote:So Aidy, why didn't yo go for an NSX instead of the EVO? You must have paid around 14k for it, and you can get an early NSX for that?
A tad more than 14k mate
Fastest colour too in Red. I dare say it may have needed a bit of work, but full honda history.....
..good to see the banter still lives on the forum!(actually all) of my time on the MLR now as I am on my second Evo after chopping the MR2 in, the last of three! I can honestly say... yes the MR2 is a fun car but you spend most of the time hoping that you will exit the corner in one piece (especially in the wet ). £1000 will yield 400/400.

The Evo is just much more capable! One thing that frustrated me was the sense of it lacking power but this is due to the fact it is an overall package with a better chassis designed to take the power; this is easily rectified especially on the MR as a bill of
This was never ever possible with the MR2, my old rev4 was doing 300whp when I sold it and cost a lot more to get it there it was a seriously quick car, but 90% of the time I couldn't use all of that power as it is usually raining
...that's all we need, another bloody taxi driver. Bog off back to MLR land ffs.

!It is an electronically controlled LSD rather than mechanically controlled.
yes if i had that sort of money i would consider buying an evo BUT, it would be far from my only choice. to be honest im quite happy showing up cars worth 3 or 4 times as much in my humble old mr2!BarronMR wrote:I think you'll find that anything that alters the power from one wheel to another to get the most grip is regarded as traction control.
Anyone who thinks an LSD diff is traction control should do some basic learning before they spout their "thoughts" on the internet.BarronMR wrote:This is regardless of how the control is applied, be that through reducing engine power, applying brakes
...just "cleverer". Traction control is a device that controls the car's traction. It overrides driver input to ensure the car's traction is not lost. This is usually done by reducing power so the tyres stop slipping, or on more advanced setups applying a braking force to the spinning wheel. It splits torque just like a normal diff, and if the resulting torque split means the tyres spin then they spin. If it means you lose control then you lose control. If it was traction control it would step in to reduce torque on the spinning wheel until it stops spinning.!!!YES EVO DRIVERS ARE BIG HEADS!!!
