Hello guys!

What are the latest years turbo MR2's are available in Japan? I'm pretty sure it is 95' in the US, and 99' in Japan.. But I'm not sure.

Someone in here have great knowledge about this, but I don't remember who.

The JDM turbo MR2 (mk2) have the 3S-GTE engine and 245ps (220-230 hp) to my knowledge, and because they are sold after they stopped selling them in the US, they probably have better milage and condition.

A 99' car is today almost 7 years old, and should be really cheap, but everything I can find here in Norway is regular GT's with the 3S-GE engine, and a few GTS with the 2.2 litre 5S-FE engine (and I don't want that.. tongue.gif )

MR2s dont abide by the regular rules of price. 91 Turbo's in the states can go for 7-10K.

Luckily I'm not talking about the States smile.gif I'm talking about Asia. Since they don't sell any MR2's in the States after the 95'..

I'm importing one from Japan. I just had to make sure about the years, and it seems I was correct. Atleast if we are to belive what jgreening just said (and I see no reason why we shouldn't, as he is a very wise person).

The new Audi is just too "grown up".. Everyone seems to think I'm driving around in my dads car. And that's not very cool.. (I'm not, but that doesn't change what people think when they see me).

So, getting a pure summer car (Turbo MR2 (mk2)) should help change that. And it's a very decent looking car that's alot of fun to drive. It's powered by one of the best, if not the best, 4 cylinder turbo engines ever.. Atleast from Toyota. Combined with the no roof option and rearwheel drive.. Stunning! smile.gif

Time to start contacting Asian car import businesses..

Thanks alot jgreening!
