Was going to suggest something along the lines of this but yeah a quote and a *high five* will do :)

i was just coming back to say that, but not quite as bluntly. i was going to say it is a good hairdressers car. the only guys i know with mr2's are either gay/bi or love themselves a lot.
Yes the car looks the part for the homosexual crowd.

I'll try to do it up with some crazy carbon fibre bits and massive wing so it becomes a bit more hetero :)

You were implying he was gay!
Cute car.

I've always had a soft spot for these little cars...gay or not...we have to admit they handle alright...how difficult is it to swap the engine for a 2zz from a celica? it would give a hefty power increase wouldn't it? With a 2zz in there it would almost be a lotus elise...lolz...well...almost...congrats...

Not that difficult to shoehorn the 2ZZ in. It's a very popular conversion everywhere but Australia. Even the Techno Pro Spirits time attack MR-S in Japan uses the 2ZZ.

However the car must be converted to manual so you'll need to replace the SMT box.

And yes you're right once the 2ZZ is in you basically have a Japanese Elise!

Nice car bro!

But too slow for my liking

I went from R33 to MR-S for the exact same reason as you...save fuel, looks cool...etc

But after driving it for a few months, I got really really sick of it. too light and unstable at high speeds. Can't store anything for nuts, can't pick more than 1 passenger!!!! and no.1 ...SLOW....

So I sold it and went back to a skyline R34

haha...just my 2 cents

still nice looking though

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
