No Driving Aids

This car tends to oversteer if pushed hard coming out of slow corners, and has a slight understeer problem when entering corners too fast, but over all it holds the apex quite nice and if driven with a little care it can produce some good results.

i don't want to be offensive, but the MR2 is an MR-car not an RR-car as you said in your post, just for info!

I think he knows that it's a MR car but I know many people that consider a car to be "rear engined" if the engine is behind the driver.

The understeer problem might be solved by increasing the front camber a bit, to enable the outside front wheel to "bite" slightly better.

no worrys Viperpilot, I made a boo boo and have corrected it Its still a great car very light and very nimble, thanks Greycap for the advice, I will give it a go and come back with a report on the car. If any of you guys have got a good setup I would be very interested in it.

 

[GM]

Not a bad setting, I like MR2'S, mostly the Red JGTC (It's name escapes me, but I think its Autobacs)

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Super-Autobacs APEX MRS or something.

Yeah, love that car 👍

ok took Greycaps advice and have added .5 to the front camber, and thats has improved it greatly in high speed grip, and ive also upped the auto gear and the first

sick looking car but im more in love with my fully tuned mkII mr-2 turbo it runs 1:08s at deep forest

I started out with the '99 MR2 Spyder, but I prefer the new one with the sequential tranny('02 model year??). Even though it weighs around 10kg more, it can be faster in the long run because you get a 6th gear ratio to play with.

Original AW11 MR2 is my favourite. It has best handling of them all, and is able to defeat cars that have 300bhp stock against it's 130-150bhp, such as NSX type R'02. not in top speed, but in handling department this car outranks many faster ones.
