Drifting an mr2 can be very hazardous! to begin with, there is NO frame, then also mid-engine cars have a nasty habit of looping once broken loose.

Yes, there's a few MR2 rally cars. I know of examples in Vancouver, Ontario, Oregon, California and the midwest US. The Oregon and Vancouver ones are coming to the Mountain Trials Rally in Merritt BC on Oct 18th.

I'm also building an MR2 rally car in Edmonton for next year.

YES

Is it easy to control? NO

Can you do it like a 240? Good question... i think that 240's are easier to control in drift. IMO

The MR2 will have a huge tendancy to spin, it's f/r weight ratio is pretty close to being even, so it's center of gravity should be close to the middle of the car, making it want to circle around like a spinning top. IMO

hey jekel, would you happen to know how to use those .gif as an avatar, and if so, would you allow me to use it?

Well, first off... please do not use them from my server

I had several people doint that which is why I changed the name of the files.

If you want to use it as an avatar, you need to right click and save as onto your computer ... then you need some place online that will host the image and allow you to externally link to it.

Honestly, I think the file sizes are too big to use as an avatar. It will really slow down the board you post on.
