MR2 AW 11 owners discussion thread

[koolspyda]

After such a long absence, the moment I saw Koolspyda's posting I thought he just bought an AW11.

AW11 if not for it's age, is still the best MR2 there is. It address the shortcomings of SW in terms of handling and MRS in terms of power. It's born out of two worlds.

i had an original 89 4agze AW11 long before i had the spyder.

In 1987 (1988 for the US market), Toyota introduced a supercharged engine for the MR2. Based on the same block and head, the 4A-GZE was equipped with a Toyota SC-12 roots-type supercharger manufactured by the Ogura industrial Corp and a Denso top mount intercooler. The compression ratio, valve timing and ports were modified. The engine produced a maximum power of 145 hp (108 kW) and accelerated the small car from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.7 to 7.0s.

September 2009
100 TOYOTA MR2 MK1
Go on, let your imagination rip. it’s a baby Ferrari 328. Well, no it isn’t. But if you like the feel of a well-sorted mid-engined chassis and the sound of an urgent multi-cam engine less than a foot from your head, the first generation MR2 is just the ticket. It’s zippy, economical, comfortable, fairly refined and loves to go sideways in the wet. What’s not to like?

Two little-known facts about the MR2. The chassis development team included racing god Dan Gurney. And in France they dropped the ‘2’ because MR2 sounded like ‘merde’.

Layout: Mid-engine, rear-drive Engine: In-line 4-cyl, 1587cc Power: 124bhp Top speed: 121mph 0-60mph: 8.9sec Years: 1984 -89
