That's the way I bought it they fit because of the wide body kit !
It grips so well in the dry so I wouldn't trade them.just yet through the hills the rear really holds even when I'm pushing the tires hard!
I think it was the past driver that drove it like an auto that killed the clutch foot at friction point at the lights etc

aussiespyderBut it's only the 00-02 Spyders with the precat issues!

As I understand it, it isn't restricted to just the earlier Spyders.
Seems to be well discussed on other forums though if more information is required.

Hey woodsport how much does a 2gr conversion cost not including labour just parts?

Buzza, just saw the car was for sale on car sales. What happened to your super dooper 2gr project. Was lookjng forward to seeing 1 million hp

I was looking to buy a new MR2 shell and sell my current car for the extra cash to build a mr2 with a blown motor but theres too many cheap skates so that plan has changed I have since drawn up all the designs for the new body and have had a meeting with a fibreglass company who is going to make the body panels and have decided to go with a 2zz forged motor with forced induction due to the 15% performance rule when doing a swap!

The car is now running with a new engine and performance exhaust!

I think your build is very hard for people to understand that have built cars themselves because usually people either try to build a street car or a track car. You are trying to build something that crosses over into both from what I gather of everything you have written (and removed) to basically build what you see as "the ultimate MR2". That in itself is hard to understand as the question WHY??? will keep coming up to almost everyone.
Here's the thing I can see why people like the MR2 but it is by no means the best car on the road especially in comparison to newer euro spec cars etc....however I like many people on here really like MR2's (SW20's and AW's) and I have an expensive daily drive that is better then the MR2 in everyway but I still like the MR2. I like its faults and I love driving them however you want an a MR2, then want to change everything about it from the way it looks, to its engine, gearbox, interior, basically everything about the whole car, spending massive amounts of dollars but WHY???? when you can just buy a better car that is more closer to what you are after? Ultimately you can't get 16k even for your car currently even after you spend 20,30,40k on it you still probably would struggle to get 16k for it.....So in all seriousness I'm trying to understand why???? It's not a dedicated track car your trying to win a championship or events with and its ultimately not going to be a fantastic street car.

Just buy a lotus.
