jezza boii Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 handling & power > autosalon fagging It's already fast enough with the GEN3 engine and current power mods. I might raise the boost later down the track but for now I'm very happy. Handling wise, again it's pretty damn good (in stock form, mind you) but I am doing a few upgrades. So far I have bought BC Coilovers, Cusco front/rear strut braces and I guess my lighter wheels and decent tyres count as handling mods too (or braking more-so). Future plans include sway bars and a few other small things. I'm not "autosalon fagging". The Recaros are for holding me in my seat through fast corners. If I wanted new seats for cosmetic reasons I would get my mate to retrim them for cheap. I'm taking my car to Haunted Hills later this year so all these mods are for a reason Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/423/#findComment-5418000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 how fast are you going through corners that the stock MR2 buckets don't hold you in? Or have you got the peasant model that came with no buckets?

jezza boii Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) I've never seen an MR2 come with bucket seats from factory. Not even the late models. I don't doubt you though. Here is a 1998 interior. These seats look a little bit more bucket-like than mine, but it could just be the angle. The only differences I've seen are leather or suede trim upgrades. Surely you wouldn't classify them as buckets?

funkymonkey Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 ^^^ those look like celica seats. the late model MR2 GT-S (post 96... think that's a S3) came with some sweet optional leather buckets that cuddled your nuts better than a puertorican whore.

UNR33L Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I <3 the GTR seats plenty of bucket for a daily!, although from the feel of them they wouldn't be very comfortable for a larger gentleman as they are pretty narrow and firm. You should buy Aarons r34 gtr seats jezza Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/423/#findComment-5418082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do-Luck Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Why not buy fixed-back seats? You have an MR2, so no need for "back seat" use, and they tend to be priced a little better than recliners.
