oh, i wasn't saying it isn't cool. it's always neat to see people doing their own thing like this. as long as it gets to completion and does not end up being scrap metal on both counts i can get behind it.

as for drifting an MR2, suprisingly once you adjust the tire sizes and the suspension for more camber and put a boatload of 2gr torque i find it drifts pretty easy and predictably.

but what i'm getting at is why not something like a first gen subaru instead? keeps the engine out of the driver's compartment and gets AWD. or if you still want RWD, an S2000 has a much nicer suspension and the exact same wheelbase as an MR2. the rx8 is about 10" too long, but cutting down a driveshaft and the shell in the middle would not be hard.

anyways, carry on!
