Mr. Jones Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'd hate to say it again, but sounds like he is getting the better of the deal. I know it is a N/A conversion, but still, that thing is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinergi Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I haven't mentioned... The MR2 has 180K miles on the chassis. Still drives like it's on rails and you wouldn't know it until you looked at the odometer. The WRX only has 77K miles on it. The other downside to the MR2 is the blue interior, which I am not a fan of... Don't get me wrong, I love the MR2 it is a beast for what it is and has always been one of my all time favorite cars--and if I do trade it will be missed. I appreciate the responses, as I am still thinking it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I was checking ouy your user albums yesterday because I saw that black wrx. Best looking color and bodystyle for the wrx IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 The WRX looks good. Though I question the wisdom of a manual boost control and an atmospheric blow off valve. The ECU is more than capable of controlling the stock turbo, and the BOV will make it go super-rich between shifts which can clog the cats, make it stumble, and cover the rear bumper in soot.

Bigbird Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 "Carbon fiber" dash FTL:thumbdown But they are both nice looking cars other than that. You'll have a great car either way man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 That MR2 is clean! I like bugeyes too though. That would be a tough choice for me, but I do love AWD. I would probably go WRX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I drove the mr2 awhile back on 71N and hit 135mph before I knew it. Driving a slow blazer will do that. ---------------- Now playing: 15.16. Huey Lewis And The News - Heart And Soul via FoxyTunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ECU is more than capable of controlling the stock turbo, and the BOV will make it go super-rich between shifts which can clog the cats, make it stumble, and cover the rear bumper in soot. I thought the GFB BOV could be set to recirc ? I was thinking of going to that, or the Forge soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I thought the GFB BOV could be set to recirc ? I was thinking of going to that, or the Forge soon. Depends on which version and how it's set up. Considering the owner installed a MBC to run a paltry 15psi, I'm thinking it'll probably be set up for atmospheric dump.

Aesthetic_Influx Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice Subaru - although I will ALWAYS love MR2's above many other cars. Rare to see them on the road, much less well-built for speed like that. The WRX looks good. Though I question the wisdom of a manual boost control and an atmospheric blow off valve. The ECU is more than capable of controlling the stock turbo, and the BOV will make it go super-rich between shifts which can clog the cats, make it stumble, and cover the rear bumper in soot. Agreed. Hell, I question the logic of anyone who put that much money into the car and is still running a MBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I LOVE driving my friends WRX. It's an 01 or 02 I think but they are just a really nice ride. Only suggestion would be to drop it a bit. I'm used to sitting real low in cars, and since you are going from an MR2 to that you will probably want to drop it a bit. Nice trade I would say. Edit- My friends is stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
