Man, I love driving this car…hopefully the weather stays without snow and salt…
For anyone that hasn’t seen it by now, I waited 5 years too long, in upgrading my tails from the stock 91’s to the 94+ MR2 tails. Finally got some pictures of them. What a difference…
Anyways heres some shots, and before as well. The pictures are at the Gall. mall parking garage, and at Glen Falls. The car is NOT clean at all, as it’s been pissing rain all day, and my Powerslots have made all the Porterfield dust stick like a mofo. Ah well, rain shots are cool either way.
The Kosei’s in bronze are another set now. I have 2 sets of the same sized Kosei’s now, in both silver and bronze. 16x7.5 FR, 16x8.5 RR. 15 lbs. each, to boot…
93z24 - No, the silver ones are on the car. Your eyes are fine…
jballz86 - The justification of $450 for god damn tails is what took so long. I always said it would be the first mod, but then it was like, there’s so many more sensible mods I got to do first.
Corey, don’t worry man, I still got the 91 tails, I’m prob. going to run power to them and use them in my basement bar.
Don’t see the difference? Look closer. Circle tails, flush center panel, Reverse lights in center panel…
Yeah, they’re certainly rare around here too. Less than 10 in WNY if I were to guess. As far as it being December, I drive it every day that there’s no salt/snow on the road.
its not a fwd vw. it may be light but im sure you can get traction with a stiff suspension and the right tires. do these have an lsd? how stout are the 3s motors?
5 years ago 300 wheel reliable was difficult. nowadays, 400 wheel reliable is a piece of cake.
with a moderate build the 3s is a great high revving engine that can spin to 9k and make 400. no matter how well built, even with cryogenic treatment, a 3s over ~550 will crack between cylinder walls 2 and 3.
a better option is to frankenstein the 3s head with the 5s block, as the original 2.2 5s N/A motor is much more stout. you have to tap oil lines and do extra work, but it’s all that much better when you are up in the 800s
i know all this for a reason :snky:. not really… my super block has been in the works for 5 months and i was just emailed a week ago from the shop claiming they built a 3s instead of a 5s. :tdown: www.atsracing.com
anyways, sorry for the hijack. i don’t understand why you got another set of kosei’s. should of gotten blitz type 03s. =)
the tails are great though :tup: , very long overdue
and i may still want to have evan help me. i know, i know, i’m on the fence!
edit: newer trannys ( USDM or JDM , 94+ ) have an LSD, some older JDM ( 91 - 93 ) ones do also, but it’s the worst LSD on the face of this planet and shouldnt even be considered
no im not selling my z yet. i have goals to accomplish still. like smoking you kyle
yeah concidering how light they are, a 400 wheel mr2 would really scoot. ive always loved these cars. yours is a fine example of how they should look. :tup:
:snky:
