I own a Fiero, and I want an MR2 also!

Hey, I own a 1986 pontiac Fiero GT and for a long time I've wanted a MK1 MR2 also.

I hate to sound like a noob around here, but can you guys show off your modded MK1 MR2's? I'm more interested in finding out what kind of mods you can do to them.

Here's a pic of my Fiero:

Damn. That's nice. Did you do anything to the drivetrain/suspension?

Thumbs up

Thanks for the comments guys.

The cowl hood scoop is vented only right above the radiator. So it does two things:
Vents air out from under the front of the car at speed for better handling, and helps vent the hot air away from the radiator at stops.

For the suspension, I used Suspension Techniques lowering springs up front and adjustable coil-overs in the rear.

As far as the drivetrain:
It's a fairly stock 2.8L V-6 with the following mods:
Bored Throttle Body
Cold Air Intake
Ported Exhaust Manifolds
No cat.
High flow muffler
Ported intake manifold
Full MSD ignition system
55hp shot of Nitrous Oxide

So, not a whole lot done, but enough to make it fast (For a 20 year old car).

So, is MK1 the correct designation for a first gen. MR2?

If so, where are they? Doesn't anyone on this board own one? If not, where can I go to see some modded MR2's?

thanks

That hood does one more thing. It looks kickass!
Good luck on your quest for a 2.
