I can keep the car running by blipping the throttle when cold. but it then chokes at around 500-600rpm. when...

Hi everyone, I've been using this forum for the last six years as an incredibly helpful resource on figuring out what to do with my AW11s. I've only ever owned 80's MR2s - my first car was a 1986 AW11 that my dad and I rebuilt when I was a junior in high school. Six years later, I've moved on to...

I understand that it attaches to the EGR valve and connects to an EGR switch but I can't seem to find a diagram showing where specifically in the engine bay it connects. Currently converting my non-EGR AW11 to EGR so that it can pass California smog, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys, I am new to the forum I just picked up a 1986 mr2 and am interested in doing a 3sgte swap. I have read a lot of forums about people performing these swaps and they seem like a good choice. A little background, I recently purchased the car it had been sitting for about 20 years and the...

Hello, I recently acquired a 1987 AW11, and I would like to restore it. It is in okay condition, some rust, suspension may be wonky, but it runs and it runs well. I would like to be an active part of this community, and keep my car running for a long time. Right now, I am in need of a stock...

Hi all, this is the first build I am attempting. Purpose built for AutoX and circle track; following SCCA solo/GCR rules. I got the car a few months ago and is a bit rough around the edges, picked it up for $375. Non running. I began by ordering a silvertop. The idea of ITB's and 20 valves...

Alright, here we go on a journey. My intention with this build is for racing, autox, drag, track application. Maybe some fun rallying too. So earlier this year (actually 2 days before Christmas), I bought this beauty. A 1986 MR2. Yea, she's a little rough around the edges, but for $375...

Hey everyone, so my 1985 MR2 recently had a problem where the clutch master cylinder was leaking. I ordered a replacement and installed it and long story short the threads on the flare nut where it connects to the master cylinder got stripped. Since the end of the clutch line is flared I don't...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new alternator. O'Reilly's, AutoZone, RockAuto, TwosRUs, Toyota and Amazon all do not carry the 4AGZE alternator or brushes to rebuild it. They carry the NA alternator, just not the supercharged one. Does anyone have a reputable source for an alternator...

So I've been on the spyder forums for over a year, and have owned my spyder for about as long. Soon, I'm planning on getting an AW11. I've found one, and its quite beat up, but for $950, its a good enough deal to me. I'd say it needs work, and it does, but in its condition, its a perfect...

Hello, I recently bought a 1986 MR2. It starts, however, the pressure is so low, it shuts off after a few seconds after starting. My friend who is a mechanic says it has to do with the Fuel Pump Relay (COR) or the actual fuel pump, but recommends to check the relay first. Problem is that I have...

FS/FT: SoCal 5ZIGEN Border 304 Exhaust $290 OBO What's up people, I recently bought a MK1 with a 5ZIGEN exhaust which sounds amazing when opened up. The exhaust has a very deep, baritone sound throughout the rev range and sounds really refined. The reason why I'm getting rid of it is because...

It is finally time to say goodbye. I have owned this car since it had 100K on it, it now has 250K+. I'll try to remember and list all the parts that I have, but I'm sure I'll forget some. This vehicle is located in CT and drove when last parked, but the exhaust has been removed and that was...

My AW11 had nearly perfect body panels until the rear lower grill panel (below the bumper) was damaged. I need a complete replacement of this panel that starts from the very bottom and is cut at least a couple inches above where the rear bumper is mounted along with being cut with about an extra...
