vls are gr8 4 str8 line, especially with old soft shox and springs on the back. but to do corners they can be made to do really well, but remember u can't expect the best no matter how much u spend unless u got irs

Mine is alright, pedders springs and shocks, nothing else, bushes are still in good nick, gets a bit of body roll but nothing too extreme..Understeer to the max around quickish corners, usually with a bit of throttle that turns into oversteer though.. Fairly bumpy stuff though, taking a corner and hitting a bump, thats some crazy stuff. Although my mate with a gemi with chopped springs reckons my car handles better.. I'd hope so.

Look i had a TX3 turbo hi flowed turbo and exhaust and cooler 14 psi and it seemed to go harder then my VL but thats only because its a FWD. a MR2 is a FWD car trying to be a RWD car havnet u seen the Supercharger engine in a 92 coroller it sits upside down the lol. every car has there ups and downs. but hey tell ur friend in teh MR2 get a huge front mount and bigger radiator and maybe swap to a big turbo and ohh thats right its hasnt got the space sheezz i can drive with 5 passengers and 1 under the bonnet lol. VL's are family sedans. MR2 are sports cars. ask him to change his on alternator or somthin alot of fun maybe even starter motor lol.

I owned and drove a 92 SW-20 MR2 for 4 years and believe me, they handle like a f\/cking go-cart even on factory suspension. And they are a RWD LSD which works very well, but yeah, they are only a 2 seater and the engine bay is very crammed, just changing the timing belt takes 6 hours and that is a Toyota Mechanic doing it, with me helping. You can't compare the 2 cars, they are completely different, but all I can say is the MR2 is a "fun" car to drive!

ill tell u outta all small cars i liked driving was a B16A Vtec 89 model Honda CRX now that is a go cart.

If you want drive a go cart on the road get yourself a mini. As far as cost per car per mods go u can't beat a cooper S, and it'll still whip most cars of today in handling!! and that's with std suspension!!

lol, of course the mini will handle good, the trick to good cornering is a light car, cos momentum caused by weight is what makes you lose traction. and for a fun car i'de say anything light with front wheel drive cos they're easier 2 keep on the road unlike rwd. gr8 for driving in the wet!

my vl handles fine. lowered suspension pisses me off though. might go sell the car.... new cars have better suspension setups. ever seen a vt with full lock? the tyre/wheel is bent like this : / better setup. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It's fairly obvious you're a good driver, but unlike front wheel drive, when traction is lost in a RWD you still have your steering, you just need to know what to do with it. Rear wheel drive helps cornering undoubtedly also using the same principle. A GT-R 4WD setup is a whole other story, and is obviously a very desirable setup.

My VL does that, you just need heaps of castor i spent the coin on my VL and it now handles beautifully in comparison the the std setup. VLs CAN handle you just need to spend $$$ on the right parts. and MR2s turbos can go fast if you spend $$$ on the right parts. if you buy a VL with intention to initially have a good handling car then you are starting in wrong place and i guess the same could be said for drag racing an MR2 handling is by no means the top priority of most VL owners Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeh most vls dont handle the best but easy as to get sidewaysssssssss:P

My GF wants a AW11 MR2 or a Vtec CRX... I have to say weight is the biggest killer for the VL, well trying to race a calais isn't the best idea...

man tell ya Gf to get the Vtec CRX i think these small FWD cars with turbos are nothing but trouble. yer i know what u mean 2 me my FWD Tx3 turbo was easier 2 keep on the road then the VL i am just starting 2 learn how to keep the VL str8 if the back wants to kick but i still aint no schumauca lol in the wet i could dump the FWD car and have it spinning around corners and sliding and still stay on the road but i wouldnt try that in the VL lol.

anyone else notice that MADMR2 brought this thread back EXACTLY 1 year after the last boost by Boostedcal ??? Or am I just trippen. Go up and look at the dates. What are the odds of that Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

get off the drugs hilly

What are the odds of that Thats a good bit of trivia, it must be how long it takes him in the MR2 to get down to the local internet cafe. I think its funny that u wrote the last boost by Boostedcal....haha. and keep on the drugs, people that tell u to get off them must have missed something when they tried it last.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ah ur from byron.........sweet, lots of top fuels up there.....hahaha

BOOSTnWGn - I didn't even notice this was a really old thread. I was bored at work so i decided to look up some forums to read and i stumbled across this thread! Boostedcal - I'm new on here so I didn't know this was an old thread, but I can tell you now that my car is no sloutch, fast around the corners and in a straight line.
