Good buy! Looks just like my uncle's! Except for his is the crappier USDM N/A. 
I'd like a MR2 myself.

These things drive so good. 
Until snap oversteer occurs, but until then it's all good.

Huge front sway bar and stiff front springs, kills some of the oversteer 
Good buy! 3S-GTE swap indeed, but do a 2nd gen swap.

Oversteer in itself isn't the issue, it's snap oversteer. The one downside to mid-engined cars.

Why not a 3rd?

Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle partshttp://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...p;#entry1107514
It's an MR2 though.
Looks great! Drop a 3S in it and you'll have many happy miles!

I'd definitely say go 3rd gen 3S-GTE for the MR2. Doing all the work anyway, might as well use the best.

Depends on what he wants. Stock engine for stock engine I'd say go 1MZ-FE, due to lighter weight and no turbo lag. But if he's wanting to build a higher power car the 3S-GTE already has known upgrades that can be done. Could just turbo or supercharge the 1MZ I suppose, wouldn't think would be room though. 
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
I'm definitely aiming 300+ rwhp. So it has to be turbo.
Took some pics yesterday with the new OEM white cornerlights. The car is a bit dirty here from all the rain the last couple of days, but she's still red as fcuk (opposed to the pink she was before)!
Notice my little brother's JDM Integra Type-R DC2!

There's room if you do it right lol
300+ can be done with a v6. Just a good all motor build should get you close to those numbers before turbo if you get a newer 1mz with vvti or build off of a 3mz then it wouldn't take a lot off boost with a good tune to hit 300+

Just find the 2GR-FZE out of that Lotus Evora, 345hp and 295 ft lb torque. I already see the goal here, he wants something that'll smoke his brother's Integra.

Haha, you figured it out. 
The Teg is fast!
I made some more pics, right after washing the MR2.
I love the way the '94 stock body looks. Really nothing needs to be done but lowering and some fancy wheels.

>Or AWD. Not sure yet. I want to at least test drive a Supra, RX-7 and ST205 before I decide anything. The white one I posted looks pretty awesome though, and it's well within my budget.
And yeah, I've only owned the car for a year. Pretty good year though. Even won Celica Of The Month! :D

Wow, sorry man, just saw this. I sold the complete car to a girl, I didn't sell any parts. The Postert lip is indeed very rare, I was about to give up the search when I found one local. Talk about luck!
To be honest, I've seen a couple of them on Dutch, Belgian and German cars, but never on American 6GC's.. I doubt you'll find anything in the States. If you really want one, you should start looking on international websites like http://www.ebay.de and http://www.marktplaats.nl. Postert was a German company so you'll have the most luck over there!
