Hi folks, I have found my self for sale a lovely
1988 Aw11 Mr2 which I am thinking of buying in the next couple of weeks. It is a targa, rust free and supercharged. I know I should probably head to some other mr2 forums but I regularly read this board and I know that there are a few ppl who have experiences with these cars. And besides its good to get some feedback from fellow aussies. Some questions are..
what sort of reliablility am i looking at with the mk1's provided i service it regularly? I have an ae82 twincam with 220k's on the mileage and its still a beaut to drive..Im hoping this can be the same with the SC motor.
What about availability and costs of parts? I know these are overseas models, and Im hoping that the aus spec models interchange with the SC version. The 4agze is also not an aus spec engine, so would there be a certain mechanic I have to go to for repairs/problems? Also are the parts readily available as well?
Service wise, Since this is an overseas model, Does it have to go to a specialist to get it regularly serviced? ie. sparkplugs, oilfilter/oil, radiator flushes ect. If so where abouts in melb would you suggest i get it serviced?. Or could i just get it done locally like at ultratune or Kmart auto.
performancewise, I heard that the SC 88mr2's came with a 108kw/186nm AFM gze, whilst the ae101's came with a 124kw/206 version. Would the power/torque difference even out if a 175mm pulley was added to give it more boost? or will the map 101 gze will always put more power+torque if both have 175mm nevo's?
Also If I do decide to upgrade to 175mm pulley, must I change the exhaust system and air filter as well? If so what size diameter piping is needed?
Last and final question is what are your opinions on the aw11 after owning him/her for a while? handling/performance ( btw it seems they dont accelrate well after 120kph..is that true?
Thanks for your time in reading this..
I appreciate you input.
hopefully i can get some pics up of mah new Mr
