Anyway, first car, 1984 Mazda GLC (LX!!
). I paid $750 for it, 130,000 miles on it, ran fine, smoked constantly, 5-spd, drove it until the clutch went out, then it wasn't worth fixing it.
Second car was 1993 MR2 NA, kept it until 6 mo. ago, then bought my Lex.
I'm still planning on getting an MR2 Turbo as a weekend car, preferably a 93+ Red with tan leather interior

Lexus Test Driver
1977 Chevrolet El Camino. Very underpowered 305 CID w/ 2b carb. Also, very overweight. Major gas pig.
Still, it was lots of fun on the beach, since I lived in Daytona then. Later on , I pulled the 305 and put in a 350 that I had built. Was a mild rebuild on a 2 bolt main block, so I was only pushing about 300HP at the fly. I spent too much money on the old beater. Lots of good memories though, especially since it was my grandad's old ride.

I wanted to know how you installed them, and what the differences were in the car, if you could feel a difference.
I don't know of any other MR2 owner that's done it like that (and I've met a TON of them)
