Take a 1991 MR2 and sprinkle it with a 2GR-FE V6 and the outcome is probably one of the most awesome cars I have reviewed to date.

This engine is awesome, I brought my brother an 06 Avalon, one of the very first cars with a 2GR and by God, it is so damn torquey that 90 mph was no sweat.

@TheDutchTexan 3 года назад

It is an amazing engine in a car with this weight! Perfect balance of sound and power!

@ryshask 2 года назад

I finally did it.. Scheduled my time with ATS. 2GR heaven awaits me.

@TheDutchTexan 2 года назад

It will be glorious! If I ever end up with an MR2 the GR has to go in it!

Back in the day, you could get a set of 94 taillights for $300. Good old early 2000 days. Lol

@TheDutchTexan Год назад

That and everything (anno 2022 for those reading this 100 years from now) is completely out of whack!

@JB-zu5gb Год назад

I just looked, wow. I bought my set for $385 and that felt like too much. $1700-2400 today, not at all worth it.

@jacobhoard9210 3 года назад

Very cool car! It’s quite exotic tbh. At 4:59, 5:38, and 7:00 that sound kinda reminds me of the humming tone from a v12 lamborghini 🤔. Pretty crazy to compare it to that I know but it is half it’s size 🤷🏼‍♂️

@TheDutchTexan 3 года назад

It sounded amazing in person. And when I saw the footage from the rearward facing camera and heard the audio I was amazed at how great it sounded on camera as well. It's hit or mis sometimes, but this one came out better than I could ever expect!

Great review man I’m stoked to do my 3SGTE went so it’s time! Do you think it’s plenty without it being Supercharged/boosted? Would you go further or was it plenty?

@noblevengeance312 3 года назад

Shit sorry I couldn’t make it here earlier, but this was such an interesting build to see. It’s basically a lotus exige in disguise, and yeah, the handling is amazing for sure

@TheDutchTexan 3 года назад

I keep things very civil and never go beyond the limit. But it is safe to say that this is one of the cars that took the double 270’s harder than most. Very confidence inspiring!

I have a 2010 is350 (3600lbs?) with the 2gr-fse and hit 60mph in 5.0 flat and 13.6 quarter...I can imagine how quick it is in a mid engine car at 2500lbs.

@TheDutchTexan 2 года назад

It's very quick... And it does everything you want it to as well. This one is setup just right. Cruises great. Want to go in a straight line? It got you. Corners? No problem either. NSX vibes, with the exception that this is a lot quicker!

This body style fits so well with the 2gr engine, & what handling . awesome combo, don't want to sound dumb but is the mr2 rear wheel drive?

@jasper221176 Год назад

Here in the Netherlands, these cars go to the roof and the swap will cost more because all of the imports...so I have to let this dream go...😢. But what a great car!!!!❤

@TheDutchTexan Год назад

It’s beautiful! I was part of the car scene in the Netherlands in the early 2000s and there were some pretty awesome cars out there. Not mine, I had a Peugeot 405 with 1.9 GTI wheels. It looked cool but fast it was not.

@jasper221176 Год назад

@The Dutch Texan ohw yeah, they where Beautiful😍 I think there are a lot of cars in Europe, they are missing out in America. Citroën BX/XM for example.

@TheDutchTexan Год назад

BX sport… In red… paid for with a Polaroid… In all seriousness I’d love to have a hot Peugeot stateside. I used to own a 305 and 405 and the lines on those cars were beautiful.

@philpreston3072 4 месяца назад

Why didn't Toyota do this in the first place??? Sounds amazing

@DeftAnesthetik 3 года назад

Personally I prefer the older square tail lights. seems better fit for the time these cars came out. the extractor hood is functionally awesome but I have yet to see one done on an MR2 I think looks like it "could" have come from factory. I own a 91T and its my pride and joy. Its the 5th mr2 I've had and I swear I want to be buried in it. "Activating" LoL good word use. MR2's certainly do tend to Activate people. =D

@TheDutchTexan 3 года назад

Really? That’s interesting! I don’t mind them, but I just love the look of the 94’s which is going to be a problem if I am ever in a position to get one of my own, just like the 2GR swap for that matter (got another dream of a classic American car that needs to happen first).

@launcebennett563 3 года назад

It’s when you are on the freeway cruising and randomly people either try to race you or cruise with you, it’s a thing: Activate! Lol

I was going to sell mine but after watching this video, i am going to do a V6 swap.

@TheDutchTexan Год назад

If I ever end up with one? 2GR swap. I love the turbo but naturally aspirated v6 noises and very usable and 100% predictable power at every turn? That’s the ticket!

@TheDutchTexan 3 года назад

Yup, heard they fixed a bunch of stuff because of people chucking them out of corners. This one didn’t give me any static though, set up extremely well. I must admit I never get close to the limit, you can’t do that, but it was definitely one of the faster cornering cars I have driven.

@shinigami_gt_four 3 года назад

According to the battery gauge in the middle of your cluster that was never a 2 l turbocharger engine that was a 2.2 l naturally aspirated... But still cool car

@launcebennett563 3 года назад

The cluster was swapped out. Trust me, it’s an original 91 Turbo Hardtop. Made more sense to swap in the NA cluster due to not having boost. Functional gauge vs. nonfunctional gauge.

@shinigami_gt_four 3 года назад

@@launcebennett563 but the redline is lower on a NA cluster... Just doesn't make sense to me to do that for a battery gauge...

@sonderambition4077 3 года назад

Could also have been switched to an electronic cluster from the 93 plus models, of which an na cluster would be easier to get your hands on.

It is better! Comparing this with a 2.0 turbo it terms of drivability and responsiveness is not even remotely fair. If I end up owning an MR2, this would be the goal for it.

@TheDutchTexan Год назад

The cluster was swapped when he went NA. You need to sit down and enjoy the video or just take a hike.

@nftminter7922 Год назад

@The Dutch Texan my apologies, but with the na cluster, no fog lights or center console, it screams na. Doesn't make a difference with what he's done with it. It's an awesome build. That's the best part of these cars it doesn't matter how it starts it's life, it's what you can do with them! I have a 93 hardtop that started as base as they come but will be built into a similar monster, so does it really matter how they started out?
