    my thoughts:

    car needs coilovers BAD (woo! over half way saved up!)
    car needs more power
    car needs more rear grip (nasty oversteer)


    as i explained to a friend, the mr2 needs to be corrected sooner then the s13. the s13 was like, kick.... wait.... wait.... over, throttle, counter, straighten and transition

    mr2 is like; accell, kick, wa...counter, correct, acell, power power, kick kick kick, spin....

    damn short wheelbase. fun day fucking around though testing different styles and the limits of the stock setup.

    you drift on 2k and 3k (progressive) springs at stock ride height. crazy amounts of roll. cant wait for my coilovers now :D

    good news:

    those 15x8 +12 wheels are PERFECTLY flush at that setting, just needs to go lower. how do i know how perfect they are? the fenders just barely scuff the sidewalls only, no cutting or noticeable rubbing :woot:
