You didn’t hear? Spinal compression is the latest rage. All the cool kids are doing it now.

Only about a week behind Reddit on this staged nonsense. You guys are stepping up your game.

If any good could come from this campaign it’s that the world gets to meet Mahk.

You beat me to it. A conveniently placed massive pothole right in front of a used tire shop. hmmmm....

Don’t forget stomach cancer if he’s talking about swallowing it too...

Exactly, if I was going to do all that work I would go for a gen3 or 4 instead. Like I did with my car.

You forgot “Stage 2" in the tags.

Former MR2 owner. I’ll be curious to see how this one fares. On one side you have a very clean low mileage example. On the other side you have a modded 2nd gen 3stge powerplant that’s not original. For that price I would be expecting everything to be all original. If you’re going to go through the trouble of swapping…

Glad I’m not the only one who’s mind went straight to this.

Thirty seven year old owner here. Definitely not showing off on public roads anytime soon though. In most cases if you still own one after thirty the Rally Armor mudflaps and Hella horns come off in exchange for SCCA class spec parts.

Yeah, I wasn’t even planning on going near another turbo until the motor was done. The discovery of the crack was just bad timing. I’d already told the tuner that the flex fuel tune was to be done with motor preservation as the main priority. Even with the new turbo it won’t be close to turned up to try to keep the…

Not yet. This was a snowball from hell. Originally I planned to just go flex fuel on a mild tune until I can get a motor built. Then I started having clutch issues. While working on all that I noticed a crack in my turbine housing. So then it was time for a new turbo. You can be sure with that kind of power a built…

I find this to be the easiest and fastest way to knock out the spark plugs.

The turbo coolant lines that run BEHIND the exhaust manifold on a turbo MK2 MR2. There’s a reason they’re known in the community as the “Hose from Hell” and “Hose from Hell on Earth”. Changing them requires the removal of the complete exhaust and turbo assembly. Then if you’re lucky only about half of the heat…

Allow me to sum it up. 

How dare you entice me with a hyperlinked Red Green only to have redirect to a few old articles. I take Possum Lodge very seriously.

The timing on this could potentially be just right for me to buy my first brand new car. I loved my mk2 and if they came out with a new one based off it I would damn sure be unloading some Subarus to go back to the sombrero.

Every time I watch footage of Bathurst I want to go run it on GT6. Then 2 minutes in I’m reminded why I don’t mess with it as I ping pong from one wall to the other. I just haven’t been able to memorize that track yet. There’s so much to it.

The “hood controversy” video popped up in my recommended list thanks to Youtube’s bass ackwards new algorithm. I watched because it was Friday and I had nothing better to do at work. Having not seen either of their channels before I had no dog in the fight. Plus the social side of Youtube is just not my thing for the…

That’s how I used to still take my Trans Am out when my parents took the keys when I was a teenager. Worked great until you forget that one time and let the ignition lock while parked out front of your friends house...
