Your wheels look to be on the wrong sides. Each wheel is corner specific on the 08/09 cars.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll take a look when I get home, I drove the MR2 to work today. I' haven't driven her in about 3 weeks since I got the F. Forgot how fast she is haha. Makes the F feel slow.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Seems to be a great community here!

Here is the dyno for the MR2 if anyone is interested:



91 MR2 Dyno @ 26PSI

Never would've noticed, but he is correct.

Welcome to CL! As soon as I saw the background pictures I knew you were in AZ lol. Which city are you located in? We have a small (growing) group of ISF owners from Gilbert / Scottsdale / Mesa / Chandler. We try to meet and get together once a while.

Thanks and congrats to you too! Just let me know.

F Monster hit me up on IG and I guess there is Facebook group for AZ ISF's. I guess I'll have to set mine up so we can put something on the books.

Do you get used to the heat in AZ? We were actually talking about moving there within the next couple of years. We were discussing Cali but decided emissions and cost of living was not worth it.

id love to live somewhere that I can daily drive my sports car. Us midwesterners have to hibernate our nice cars.

Nope haha. I'm originally from NJ and I've been here since 2005 and I'm still not used to it. But I intentionally put myself in the heat as I play softball 3 nights a week and tournaments occasionally on the weekend. That is one of the major benefits of living in AZ though, driving performance cars all year round and it's honestly one of the main reasons I'll probably end up staying here.

The only problems you really have to deal with car wise is debris on the highways and roads flooding (not crazy flooding but I've had to detour a few times in my MR2 because it's pretty low). I live in Phoenix and it's not really setup to handle mass amounts of rain because of the poor drainage systems. I had my front bumper of my MR2 taken out when someone kicked up a tire fragment and launched it at me on the highway and had no where to go to avoid it. Most roads are in pretty good condition, especially the highways.

7 months out of the year it's beautiful though. But essentially June through September is pretty rough heat wise. You will also go out of your way to park in the shade but thankfully they really don't enforce illegal window tinting.

How were your summers in New Jersey? The summers here are brutal because of extremely high humidity. I’ve never experienced low humidity heat. Here it can be 90 with a heat index of 102 and your soaking wet 5 minutes after being outside.

this is coming for a guy that weighs 161 pounds, so health isn’t a part of it.

Most days you'll sit between 50-85% humidity, so if gets around or above 90 degrees it feels pretty hot. The days without humidity are perfect though.

Everyone always talks about low humidity in AZ so "the summers aren't that bad". That would be a lie haha. 100's aren't awful but 110+ or getting in to a car that's been in the sun for a few hours is not fun. I once saw a report on the news where someone left a penny on their drivers seat and got burned pretty bad.
