I am pretty sure that Murano is from Nanaimo. Imported by a car salesman.

IMO, at this point in time, the NC Miata has a much better bang-for-the-buck ratio out of all the Miata generations. A 2.5L swap bringing the output to 170-ish hp and tq is quite simple. There are also very few reliability issues with the platform as well.

A decent amount of car for around 2 grand, stick too.

If this is real, it's one of the most beautiful sedans ever made and IMO better looking than any M5. Especially in British racing green. But you'd have to be the kind of guy who would be a glutton for punishment to maintain that thing!

big bucks... but canadian LHD SW20 MR2 turbo T top..

Handling on the NC can be twitchy as it's considerably shorter, and the stock suspension is crap.

I don't fit well in a NA/NB so the NC was great. It was also quite livable unless you need to do a lot of 120km/h driving. The short gearing is a little tiring.

I sold mine in 2018 and I miss it.

My old NC is getting the 2.5 treatment as I sold it to a friend.
GS 6sp no AC means race spec lol.

i don't really follow this market, but it seems like a lot.

buuuut there's not really any comps so - if this is what you want, this is how much it costs.

wonder what he paid for it in 2016? - under 10k i bet (my brother paid about 4k in 2014 for his LHD turbo car)

EDIT: lol. - i guess there are comps

So few clean, non-totaled, turbo MR2's out there.

Anyone here comment on the differences in driving a mid engine vs front engine?

Not unrealistic. Friend got paid $19K for a write off on his very clean white T Top turbo. Got hit by a spare tire on the hwy smh.

No parts available, forced a write off.

Using the Alfa Romeo 4C as an example (because that is what I have driven before, and it is also small and light light the SW20 MR2), dynamically, an MR is a lot more responsive and intuitive to drive in an enthusiastic manner (compared to an FR, for example), and that makes it a joy to drive. At the same time, more rapid response gives you less time to correct or recover from your mistakes. Comparatively, oversteering in an FR can almost feel like it is happening in slow motion by MR standards.

I feel that MR cars are harder to save..... everything happens much faster when shit hits the fan, but the cars generally have good forward visibility with low hoodline and usually have very nice turn in and steering feel. MR2 felt tricky to drive during my ownership, but the Cayman was a million times more forgiving at the limit. I suppose it really boils down to the car.

But once you drive MR sports cars regularly, its hard to turn back to a front engine.

With MRs (and RRs) I feel you can get a much better drive out of a corner because you're not having to balance the rear end as much. You also seem to get better braking into a corner because there's more weight at the back.

The down side is that you have to carefully balance characteristics that make the car push under power to those that would make it snap over steer.

I've seen an MR2 do a 180 at high speed and ram the armco ass first. A decent FR just wouldn't bite you like that.

The maintenance thing, there was a guy with an xjs coupe at mission drags. Small block chevy swap, damn cool. I'd swap it for a modern ls/lt but the whole package still over 1000lbs heavier than a foxbody stang.

Some years of the supercharged XJR’s are stone axe reliable, they’re really not bad at all... do your research before buying though not all years are created equal and I been out of that game too long to remember which ones are which.

$19G is good money, was this recently?

So many used mr2 parts in the UK, he could have easily bought the parts online but the shipping. I was looking for an upper bumper support, there's always about a dozen listed on Ebay UK at all times but I was too cheap to pay for the shipping. I finally overpaid for for the first one to pop up for sale in the states. It arrived this past wednesday with very little shipping damage, sonova b.

I've heard a lot about the oversteering issue.

Friend of mine had one and had not much experience with MR, spun his shit around in a corner when he lifted off the gas, lol.

I assume the correct move would have been either A) Slow down on entry because you can't brake in a MR car during a corner then gas as you hit the apex, or B) Eased off instead of complete lift off of the throttle?

I wouldn't say the behaviour (lifting while the car is in a turn) is limited to MR, although it is certainly a lot trickier to recover from in an MR. Weight transfer is weight transfer. If it is abrupt enough, it will upset the balance and send the rear end outward.

The textbook technique in an FR or MR is to brake in a straight line before taking the turn at the right speed. Depending on the situation, even a partial backing off on the throttle could be enough to send the rear end spinning.
