If you don't mind manual, get the manual. SMT (something like Proton Savvy's AMT, without clutch but it is not auto)) has a limited lifespan on its pump.

Engine is 1.8 litre 1ZZ-FED, which is very similar to Altis' 1ZZ-FE but with slightly higher power output. The engine is rear mid mounted, so it takes some time before you can familiar with the car since it oversteer easily (on wet corners especially).

Service is not much (I would say not much differ from a Toyota Altis) if nothing breaks down. Most commonly spoilt part for a used MR-S could be the oxygen sensor. Common parts can get from Wing Hin, however accessories like hard top is not selling anymore if I am not wrong.

Many used year 2000-2002 units selling now, but 10 years old car you might have problem with loan (or the bank will charge a high interest for it). Price should be less than RM 100k for 2000-2002 used unit, but also depends on the car's enhancements & accessories. If you have the money, get the 2003 onwards version since it is facelifted. There are at least 2 unregistered units selling right now.

Worth to buy if you don't mind a 2 seater without a boot. Only 'boot' for storage is a compartment behind the seats or the spare tyre area under the front bonnet.

MRS is the sypder... the one in Fast and furious right?

it uses the 1zz engine with 140hp...

Now im asking a used 1 ..02/07 <<Mean cal from year 02 or 07 ? And i would like to buy a auto 1 because my wife don't like a manual . Mean if take a SMT will fast to going to damage ?
What are u recommend me at this time ? Take a year 2003 and manual ?

Hi, own one till sold last year for about 93k....

1.Can i know the car part is very Expensive ? Parts are not that expensive since the 1zz is a common engine...the engine parts are quite common with the wish/altis so most shops have the oil filter and etc. The only problem that I endure duringthe ownership was the o2 sensor which i changed for about rm500 in ipoh.

2.The car is alot of problem of the engine and gearbox ?
No problem on mine...btw, mine was the manual model from mutiara motors....the SMT should be quite reliable unless the owner did some hard mods to the engine such as boosting it which will definitely lessen the lifetime of the SMT

3.Does the car spend petrol like "minum air "?
It is very2 economical. Think light body with a powerful engine...even if u are heavy footed, full tank can get u about 400-500kms

4.Does the car part is fast to damage ?
What do you mean fast damage?....if u drive it as normal, then the car won't have any problems....the car is a bit low which means u'll have to becareful with high humps.....also, there are ichy handed people poking holes into ur softtop if u simply park at shopping complex and etc.

5.Does the car is worth to buy ?
Go test drive, for a 2 seater car with minimal space, it is definitely more of a weekend driver. Engine wise, it is not that powerful but sufficient to easily hit the 200kmph mark faster than other vehicles. It is a great touge machine too and handles with minimal understeer. It has a very neutral feel to it.

6.How much for the car service each time ? Hear my friend say around ( RM5xx-RM6xx )
As usual, the filter is RM30 and engine oil use fully synthetic about rm200...brake pads u can choose branded like endless or OEM toyota....plugs u can use normal iridium ones....nothing so special about it....only that u have to jack up the car and remove the rubber lining from the rear to change the oil filter...a bit more hassle than FF cars....

Hope this helps...and if u are serious about looking for one, u can ask our old sifu koolspyda.....he is most active in the ZTH forums...

02/07 means the unit is manufactured in 2002 & registered the car in 2007. This means it is a used unit. You can try your luck to find a 2003 used unit but expect either high price or unavailability.

Remember SMT (Sequential Manual Transmission) is not auto. It is more of a manual without a clutch to floor on.

Most (if not all, currently) unregistered units in Malaysia are SMT. However there are a few manual used unit around. Regarding the SMT failure, it really depends on luck & maintenance of gearbox fluid (also maybe depends on your driving style), since we have a member having trouble as early as 20k+ km mileage while we have another until over 80k mileage also no problem. Manual also has maintenance, just that SMT is usually more expensive to repair if it fails.

Nice, i think don't need to worry much for buying this car since here already got alot of helpful " Sifu " here.
And i will try to get the car on next week. Drive kaw kaw only buy ~~Thanks MR-S owner ~

Mudah.my has no transmission paramater for SMT when advertise, therefore the seller put it as auto.

If your wife can take manual then take the manual but there are not many used manual lying around.

For SMT, you still need to change the gears manually either on the gear knob or on the steering buttons, just that there is no clutch to foot on. This is unlike AMT where the gears changes automatically.

The SMT is a semi manual....u still need to change gears urself but there is no clutch footwork required....

The Hard Top for the MRS is a rare item.....a new one will cost RM14k last time and i don't think they make it anymore. Just ask any MRS owners. Some of the MRS do come with the hard top when they bought it last time

So that mudah.com i listing 1 that is Auto or manual ? That write Transmission: Auto But below that write Auto . I still don't understand ~~~

There is no such thing as auto MRS.....its either manual or SMT...thats the only two choices

If he put auto, thats because as someone explained that in mudah, there is no choice for SMT

ayu, what jeremy O & deeplyheartbroken mentioned is correct

SMT = Sequential Manual Transmission

there is a 'pump' that accutates the 'clutch'.

In malaysia, a lot of people dont understand what SMT, AMT, selespeed, SMG.
so the sales men (or mudah) always categorise cars as either Manual OR Auto.
(cerita habis, tak payar long story cause their intention is to sell not educate)

SMT is like an assisted 'auto', not a REAL auto (as most people understand traditionally).

in simpler term..
Press the button, the 'pump' upshifts or downshifts gears. (dont need the traditional left leg to depress clutch pedal). in essense, its like manual except no clutch pedal.

with SMT dont drive it like a AUTO; step accelarator & expect the gear to change by itself, cause it wont.

finally the sifu speaks. how you doing bro..

was frolicking with some hot hot cars last weekend at kota baru


ayu, here is a rare MR-S.



http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+MRS+1+8-6103186.htm

its in sarawak. but i'm sure it can be transfered into peninsular malaysia.
the photos aren't very good at that site.

Dear All,

I'm looking forward to own one unit as well, just got test drive a amt unit yesterday. i couldn't get use to the amt initally. however it was rather fun with having to engage clutch.

Anywhere is there 6smt mrs available in malaysia?

What are common problem we need to look out for a MRS? As an amt gear box, is there a specific type of gear oil to do regular maintenance?

Yes. Must use only specify SMT gear oil, but not those ATF.

2003+ model comes with 6 speed SMT.

Common problem for the SMT MRS is the pump if didn't take care of it properly.

SMT is fun, but a manual ones is even more fun.

I used to be a MRS fans, i read and learn alot from spyderchat.com which introduce by koolspyda (dennis) from ZTH forum.

Love the MRs, especially the MR2 SW20

This post has been edited by victor87: Jul 3 2010, 04:25 PM

It is not AMT, it is SMT. AMT can shifts automatically but for SMT you need to shift manually but without the use of clutch pedal.

6 speed SMT is available for unreg 2003 model onwards but the asking price is high. Used unit is available too but most of them are modified either engine wise or exterior wise.

For maintenance, nothing specific because it uses the manual tranny gear oil. The SMT does has a life span on its pump which is costly to replace/repair. However there are owners that regularly maintain the car achieving over 100k km mileage without trouble.

By the way, there's one nice MRS for sale. Oh, a manual ones

http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+MRS+1+8M-6390554.htm

Haven't really see a 6smt for sale, i wonder how much is it.

Anyway the unit which i test out was 2000/05.

the owner was asking for rm84k, i find it a little to high for year 2000 unit.

however the condition is good

still keep my fingers cross as i really wants a 6smt model.

Added on July 3, 2010, 4:53 pmthank you for your input, doesnt that mean MRS with smt transmission use manual gear oil would do? i was really puzzle as to what exact oil is the gear using cause as it neither manual or auto.

This post has been edited by FerrariST: Jul 3 2010, 04:53 PM

An 2003+ model will cost around 115k ~ 130k..

Not really worth it eh?

Yes you heard it right, manual gear oil. Go to JDM car service specialists like GT Auto, Trial & etc will advice you the same. Consider the SMT as manual with actuator.

either gt auto(for service / tuning and modification) in sunway or wing hin in jalan loke yew for standard service / spare parts.
btw, no hard top / soft top for me. i'll choose the more powerful mr2 over the mrs, anytime!

For the price of 115k - 130k, that amount certainly is expensive.

Added on July 3, 2010, 5:47 pmbro,

appreciate for your info, any way is there any input, for regular meet up session of MRS owner club? i would like to pay a visit and get to know more about the car.

This post has been edited by FerrariST: Jul 3 2010, 05:47 PM

Hey, what's your ZTH nick?

Yes.. the MR2 Mostly because of the 3S-GTE ?? kekekeke

Yes, but i'll dig the manual ones be it 5 or 6 speed.

Drop in a 2zz and a 6sp, ohhh.. with a rotrex supercharger too....

Check out their MR2 club in ZTH for TT session !

Btw, koool ! how's your spyder already?? Any upgrades???

yeah understand the respond for a manual will be much lively. however, for my cases, wife will be using it. so i dont think so would like to have a manual unit.

exactly! would love a 1jz-gte too

well, if you have been with any one of our touge drives, your opinion may change


the mr-s or mr2 spyder is a lively machine. The MR-S is built with for a reason. The THRILL of the Drive.

the list of cars speaks volumes , doesn't it?



his nick "nur-meister" is given by germans, he deserves his nick.
well some of us want to hang on with a wonderfull machine, Hiromu Naruse had a big hand on.


FerrariST, if your wife is driving it & if its hardly driven on highways (long haul like plus) then the 6th gear is never used. the first 4 gears of the japan spec 5 speed & 6 speed MR-S is the same. Only the Euro spec MR-S has taller gears (euro chaps travel more on highways/autpbhans), which is why mr-s is specified in magazines as 0-100 in 8.7sec. (but they get to go 220kmh ++) unlike US & japan spec.

There are about 6-7 mr-s with 6 speed manual. 6 speed SMTs mr-s i'm not sure, maybe about the same or more.

if you are interested on a good cond mr-s, but they are likely above > rm110k. a few are below 90k but you gotta see cond

If you have already purchased a MRS, do come to c. highlands for a touge....you will change your opinion definitely....power is not everything....the car has minimal understeer and good handling is one of its strong points...

Done a Kl-cameron-gua musang-Kota baru road trip recently

This post has been edited by koolspyda: Jul 4 2010, 12:31 AM

Dear bro,

Thank you very much your brief explanation, her usage for the car to work is roughly 70% highway 30% town. but i guess is not really easy to source for a 6smt unit. Either way, i will go with 5smt.

Added on July 4, 2010, 1:49 amHi Jeremy,

you purchased your MRS already? i search back old threat and saw that you were looking for mrs as well, hope you are already a happy owner by now

This post has been edited by FerrariST: Jul 4 2010, 01:49 AM

i believe Jeremy O had. he moved on to (cough-cough) something 4dr 'TEC i think hahaa

6th gear helps on highway speed such as PLUS/ long haul, even then if you are >160kmh.
rpm is lower with it.

i know of a turbo 6speed SMT MR-S whose owner spends 70% of his time in china, & hardly has the time to drive it. cond is excellent.

By any chance is it a blue ones?

yes, was also featured in 1 local motoring mag.

also, beside those featured at mudah. pm me for look out. I'm keen to introduce & see these lovely rides move on to good new owners who would love & care for such fine missus

Bro Koolspyda,


You are very knowledgeable on MRS and related, i was about to confirm on purchase of a MRS 5smt very SOON. Can i request you to tag with me for the 2nd meet up with the owner so that you can help me to inspect the car on my behalf? I do not wish to purchase a problematic car and regret later.

Don't worry lunch is on me

Moved on to a wagon already now ....need space for the kids and the stuff that comes with it....nice to hear your trip on the touge....how's the part after cameron highlands to gua musang?...i have to go to kb this weekend but most of the time i just use the east-coast highway....

I'm based in KL. this weekend we are likely to heading towards a convoy drive to malacca. (sunday day trip 11th july). & probabply hanging out with the mazda RX7 club malaysia @ equatorial Mlca. some of us might adjourn to town for lunch for those prefering Mlca local.

maybe you might be interested to join to catch up with some mr-s owners, i havent tally exacyly how many are turning up (well at least see the different cars stuffs) else, i'm have pm my mobile to you.

sidenote; before sounding overly one sided, have you considered others? new peugeot 207 cabrio, miata mx5, slk, z4. I would have like to include the s2k but its very very difficult to source given almost obssessive fans boys of the car
(elise i would count out given if its daily driven & its quite hard pressed to be driven by a fair lady on her outings )

i usually would advise propective owners to have a go on others before narrowing down. my philosophy is simple, know your preferred driving take out "what tickles your drive fancy", budget can be adjusted. Myself, I could not really afford the spyder 10 years ago, tightening up my little excessive expenses, some sacrifice. (i've coverd this extensively in MTM then but i'll probaply migrate the info to my own blog (given the almost impossible nature to read/scroll the new mtm forum)

after blue valley, halfway towards gua musang, roads are errmm needs fixing. but dont let it take anything away from the lush greenery around.

I have written about my trip to kota baru on my blog > http://koolspyda.blogspot.com/
sorry i havent been deligent in keeping up with the activities to date

Thanks for the link and good reads on your blog....if you happen to drop by ipoh again drop me a msg....we could do a touge up sometime for tea

sure do, i can't remember if i've your mobile no. could you pm me. (if its alright with you).

I might do a gopeng stay sometime again this year. not to far away from simpang pulai

Bro koolspyda,

It was nice chatting with you through the phone and get to learn more about the car, appreicate for the kind help and information. Refer to your blog, i actually read it somewhat last week or the week before, no wonder i find your nick so familiar now, your MR-S in the wide body look mean and agressive.

Cheers

wats the price of an S2000 now? used one...

and how much is new (if theres still new)

This post has been edited by mADmAN: Jul 6 2010, 02:49 PM

An used S2000 starts from RM140k onwards.

No more new S2000 in production.

yeah, tough. even if you ask a dealer to bring in a 2006/7 AP2 S2k (2.2L), with all the incurred cost, markups + AP, my guess it will float around >RM220K+

thanks to restriction the s2k grey imports then (siapa lagi), which is why there are too few in the market.

they are also an awesome ride. use parts are fewer, & you need a good network to source it.

*malaysia has a policy also limiting grey imports <5 years. so S2K ended in 2009 in UK (if i'm not mistaken), MR-S ended with a limited edition spec in 2007 (japan).

both toyota & S2k has no intention to go sports cars they way they made. it's hybrid the next time around with Honda pulling first gun with the CR-Z hybrid sports. (they, honda officially announce all future sportiness will be some sort of hybrids)

SMT Regulator ! Incase you're one is gone *touchwood*

you should check the guy's other thing on sale. mrs 1.8 vvti stock engine which 'never upgrade performance parts, never run fast'.
btw, i believe the other altezza on sale was belong to a guy from penang. nice 1jz-gte.

Jason ma... Famous for MRS parts

Never run fast with a sportster, u believe meh??

That's funny of how people describe this way...

Or maybe their fast is 300km/h mark? LOL

marketing gimmick
btw, wing hin auto does help on toyota / lexus parts.

HAHAHA..

Yup, i know them liao.. I've been a MR2 Club reader lorr... Kinda of a stalker?

Saw Kool's ride on some event before, didn't dare to say hi with him... His face looks so garang

i'd prefer to call it ' doing a homework' instead of stalker
on few occasion, you'll see me there as well.

Yes.. Alot thing to learn from those site.

I used to surf spyderchat.com everyday !!

walio

Always spotted u with your wife in major event ma.... Wanted to say hi but u stared at me & walk away liao..

It was last year i think, during the Goodyear drift competition.

Double waliau


Come la, 'intro' when bum-in-person. Don't worry I dun bite
;-)

Will do, so next time i will call u lah ! Mr. Kool

Might be looking into getting an MRS...

just want to check... where to get the hardtop... or any place to find used ones?

Its quite hard back then to get one.....They used to get it in Singapore.....or else find one with hardtop....

http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+MRS+HardTop-6508311.htm

As i know i got ask at shop..some shop is giving both of hard / soft top .

Awesome possum!

BTW, anyone has installed any LSD on their MRS before?

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??

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

This post has been edited by koolspyda: Jul 28 2010, 06:44 PM

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.

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?

Haha yes... i understand the JDM madness and tuning madness it gets addictive... but was hoping to get a MRS to daily drive and lock my hands in the pocket

No the solution is to buy a wagon/SUV/MPV. Works better if u have a spare car which can go to the touge also.

yeah, one of the guys has both the *MR-S & the new Type R.

saturday he took the Tyre R for a drive, on sunday he had a wonderful touge session with 5 other MR-S.
enjoying cars as they are

*he did say he originally planned the MR-S as a 'sek foong' ride only but his couldnt resist dipping into modditis

hi guys, m new here... i love mrs since god knows when... now still can't afford one yet... but soon. plan to sell off my 2008 honda city or trade in for a MRS... was checking MRS from mudah.com.my... love the white, blue n green ones...
hopefully i can get one soon.

IMHO. If you are those craving for HP and Torque, go for other cars. But if you just want to look good and cruise around, it does the job perfectly. But have to let the 6 potter pass on the motorway.

Just my 2 cents. No offence. Cheers.

quite true 237, after you (let you pass)
