Lost cause?

Just bought a 92 mr2 g-limited w/150k - got it for $2000 so i thought it was worth it as a get from a to b type car - but an STi it is not.

Is there anything i can do to make this car move (insult to injury - its an auto)? I could prolly spend about $2000 on it if i wanted to - but only if i'm getting a real kick - and remember i'm comparing kick to my ole STi.

Also i hear for $2000 adding a turbo isn't going to happen

any suggestions? or save my money?

Maybe if it wasnt Auto.

Or if you want to make it more FUN to drive, spend that $2000 on suspension/tires. When you dont have to slow down for corners, accelleration isnt so important.

Or if you were mechanically inclined enough to do it yourself, you could probably buy a crashed turbo Mr2 for $2000 or less. Use it as a donor car to swap the engine over. That way you would get the manual tranny too.

But you'd want the brakes, drive train etc from the wrecked MR2 as well. My advice would be to save your money. You said yourself its just an A to B car, so why do it up if its going to cost you more money?

Rather save your money and get yourself a 1994 - 1997 MR2 GT or GT-S ... THEN you'll feel the kick
