well, getting hard top isnt too difficult now when the resource is there.

there are couple of enthusiast spyders who are keeping the fun as always. I'm rather happy there is a small network of commited owners. of course there are fringes owners who have no inking about the midship nor have no remorse & would trade for a larger heavier (cough-cough) wagon

toyota may have discountinued selling the Hard top but they still support in parts (for the hard top amongst others)

there are couple of us who have moved to higher hp engines but it doesnt mean 1zz is gutless (contary to many who test drove, & might be rather clueless on what-to-do)

a simple couple of mods, for a sub 145whp 1zz, 975kg spyder, you can imagine what glorious fun!

LSD? some kind of trippie drug??

Ouch bro... ...I swear that when my mid life crisis kicks in, its gonna be another spyder or the s2k....just u wait then

No probs on the drive by, I'm not sure where I was then....been up and down Malaysia like hell this whole mth with a cranky kid and a pregnant wife, no point disturbing you young handsome bachelors with your project runway gfs

A little rain did made things spicier!!

LSD as in a limited slip diff...

anywhere to find used hardtops...?

what would be a fair price to pay for a fairly stock 00 manual model and 01 manual model?

ahh, young padawan.

was just messing on the LSD, you need to be aware of what "LSD" also means
LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide)

dont worry on hard tops now, lets just say so as long as there is demand, the supply will be there.

prices are indicated on local for sale sites, its willing buyer, willing seller. unfortunately its not aplenty of MR-Spyders that could throw an avalance price down.

whats 'fair price', is what your heart desires

a lot of people say certain cars in malaysia are a little overpriced & yet are plonking in to buy, they must be nuts

theres a six speeder on mudah.....looks quite nice and owned by a teacher....

dear koolspyda, it would be great honour if you put up some spicy pictures soon...looking forward to it and would treat u to a lipsmacking strawberry shake in c.highlands anytime

yup, the white 6speeder, pretty rare manual around. not that one cannot swap a 6 speeder for the earlier models.

jem, may wanna make another trip up before the year's end. got a little smitten too on ipoh's food!!!

Hemh... been reading a little here and there... and some forums say people drop in celica gearboxes which comes equiped wit LSD. can this be done? FF car into a MR?

and...how much does a 2zz cost

whoa, hang on dude, notch yet crawl wanna run already

source for reliable info > spyderchat.com / mr2spyder.net. Remember in foreign sites you dont always get 'tongkat' info's. one needs to use "search" button & exhausted your queries before help is granted.

& no, LSD is not standard in all 2zz GB. its was an "optional" addition upon purchasing from showroom.

i dont know where you got your info from locally but if you choose to do a local 'goggle' search, you will probably find tht it points back to 1 source

have you exhausted all your choices of car options ; MX5, mini cooper, celica, RX8, S15, DC5 before deciding the holy grail of midship? I highly recommend to broaden the scope cause once smitten be a well sorted midship icons, others seemed..

if you ever have a chance to read these

and even Perfromace Car (issue 02 Feb 2009/Mid-Engined Icons) you will have a fair idea what you are getting into. Some car forum site(s) can be bias, or overly favoritism but get an idea from foreign motoring editors, well at least a bigger picture is seen.

owning a MR2 Spyder in malaysia is a small network of enthusiast, we are usually not your typical cocky, brash chumps (& we have some fair ladies enthusiast too)

Ahhhh geezzz I'm still in the mid of waiting for the loan to be approve, i can't wait any longer to drive the syder.

Piggyaikz, I'm curious to why u need a LSD......u going to do a turbo-spyder project?

nice to have met you & the spyder u r getting. just keep regular service & a pointer to check SMT fluids.
its was nice to see some beefier braces with it. not all or many spyders came with some added mod parts.

Haha no turbo i am just looking for something with good handling and great fun on weekends esp ulu yam

LSD... hehe was just wondering. I used to have a 1.5 way LSD on my old car not MR...FR

if he is really into turbo he might as well get a built turbo MR-S, saves him time & effort.
its quite well done & hardly driven (owner shuttles mal-china & too little time to drive).




ahh touge kaki. yes we have couple of enthusiast who have been poisoned.

KK/titi gong, bentong/karak, batang kali, etc

Was hoping the MRS would be easier to maintain and driving top down sounds refreshing and to daily drive...

i got to break a terrible news to you, if you cant keep your hands in the pocket, there is always something you will tinker.

its called 'modditis', a-life long disease, difficult to cure, treating it always means having to splurge more . i know of some people who thinks they solved their addiction, they buy bigger & more expensive super/sport/cars. ironic isnt it?
