Welcome to Calgary's first ever official MR2 Owners club!

This forum is dedicated to the 1st generation, 2nd generation and even the 3rd generation Toyota MR2. This is also a place where owners, prospective owners or just plain fans of the cars can come to discuss topics regarding maintenance, performance modifications, cosmetic modifications and all other related topics regarding the Toyota MR2. As with the rest of the automotive forums on Beyond the same rules apply. All I ask is that the non related MR2 threads be posted in one of the other applicable forums on Beyond, Id like to give a huge thanks to rage2 for giving Calgary and surrounding area MR2 lovers the opportunity to dicuss argueably the best car to ever come out of the Toyota factories. Enjoy!

good luck with this Redlyne...hopefully it can be a place where people can get correct, local, and factual info on the AW, 4A-G(Z)E, SW, and 3S-GTE and related topics...

There is a LOT of bad info on the MR2 out there...

Thanks Cyclone. As you mentioned this is the perfect place for discussions relating to all engines found in the Toyota MR2

Thanks for all the great response thus far.
Ill definitely take you up on your offer Ben..thanks
mr2mike, most of the Calgary mr2 cars are in the shop or in garages being worked on. I think a meet would consist of all of our non mr2 daily drivers lol

Awesome. I was wondering when AB would get a chapter. :D (Assuming we have some sort of affiliation/association with IMOC...) Either way, sweet! :D

There's like 10 SW20's in Calgary.......

I ALMOST bought one a few years ago from some guy. The car was abused though, and he wanted top dollar for it. Too bad the MR2/Supra market is so retarded in Canada. It really kills for us! I looked into buying an older MR2 after that, but decided on a 240sx instead.

Haha, even after I bought the 240 I almost sold it for an MR2 a couple times.......



So who's got an SW20 for sale? :angel:

Ha thanks :) Hopefully i have enough cash to modd it more lol, kinda hard when your in highschool. No no, mommy and daddy didnt pay for it, i did lol.

I was at SCC in Calgary this summer, but there were no MR2's :dunno:

Just one black one parked behind me.

THere were 2 of us there. Me and my friend on 780 (blown_mr2), and the only one that ran was the MK1.5

But ill be in cowtown again if there is a SCC.

Hello all:


Welcome to Calgary's first ever official MR2 Owners club!

I hate to start out negative but there used to be a Calgary MR2 owners club. It was run by Lance Heinrich from the Calgary Sports Car Club. When Lance moved the club ended.
This was his ride. (http://users.adelphia.net/~lancemr2/mr2.html)

I saw a picture of a meet once and they had somthing like 25 first and second gen cars there.


Haha, even after I bought the 240 I almost sold it for an MR2 a couple times.......

I had a 240SX-SE and sold it to get my 2. The 240 is an easier car to live with but it shure doesn't give you the same grin driving around in it.:bigpimp:

A meet sounds pretty good. Any chance of one happening before the snow falls?

Ya a meet would be great, many of us dont have our 2's on the road right now so it would be more of a meet and greet rather than a car meet, stay tuned for dates

Berg9987

Somethings better than nothing. Meet and greet sounds good too. I don't see too many MR2's in town, so it would be cool to meet some of the people who own them.

Cheers,
Berg

cool someone else who remembers the beast, that was my black mk1.5, there may be a new mk1.5 this spring, we'll see though :-)

gen3 is sitting in a custom built stand and i'm wiring up the EMS this week and then we'll see where I go from there as for a car to put it in.

Hey is anybody up for a wings night (or some other social gathering) before the new year? Ya know, good to keep in touch (discuss MR2's, make it easier to plan a spring meet, that sort of thing). There are more members here now than when we had the first (3 car) meet.

Cheers,
Berg

My name is mark. I bought a 1991 silver JDM MR2 GT in November of 2007. hoping to start upgrades soon. Any advice from those who have already done upgrades to their vehicles, would be welcomed and appreciated.

I did sir! And thank you. I have just decided to let the car go though, I'm up to my eyeballs in debt with my new house and one of my toys needs to go! I'll toss the thread up here in a few days, if you know anyone who would be a good owner for the car direct them my way. I'm going to be very selective who buys the car.

I know there hasn't been any posting here in a while but I thought this may be of interest to anyone who has interest in MR2's

http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=786804

I know its an acura forum but I was to lazy to go find the original thread he started on another site.

ENJOY!

Loose suspension component (end link probably) or worn bushings on sway.
