MR-S

Impreza WRX SG

Any comments on the Toyota MR-S? I used to drive the GC8V and got sick of it because cannot use the points to buy custom parts. So I thought of trying the MR-S. Kind of like it but the backside like to fly all over. Any experts in driving this car, can give tips?

weeeeeee MR-S…. ultra drifty horz?? i got the car.. yellow colour de… the parts very nice too..

Yeah that's what my friend told me too. He's driving an MR-2 with the tune that has an air intake on the top of his car. Quite funny looking but really fast. I didn't know that the first turn for Akagi downhill can take at 146 km/h for MR-2. Shocked Now that's fast. Dunno if MR-S can do that also.

[email protected], do you know the what's the difference or what they do for the number of wheel spokes on the sport rims? Some have just 5 or 6 while some got 4 pairs. Also what the colors mean? Previous posts mention gold color better for rain while the white/silver better for dry. What about black?

no idea really... i drive what i can... i don't depend on the car... i depend on my skill.... which admittedly, has room for improvement.

Sorry this maybe out of topic but regarding MR-2 very drifty n hard to control … tends to understeers alot n very fun to play wif in wet conditions cause very slippery …lol… abit like Kopi car

The MR-S is a drifty car. Made worse in the wet. But the car has a great chance of winning battles in:

a) Akina down
b) Usui right

both dry.

Akagi i guess would be 50-50 against other cars aside from the Rx7 and the integra.

Parts not to use:

a) VOLK racing rims. Gold ones. These makes the car even driftier. (Not personal experience but from my friend who only uses the MR-S)

Very Happy

So MR-2 n MR-S which is the better one to choose ? all 5 gear right ?

Matr|x SG

Both MRS and MR2 also quite nice to drive leh. True on the being driftier.

Dark Conviction SG

Overall in the dry, the MR2 performs very slightly better than the MR-S. But in the wet, the MR-S will have an edge over the MR2.

Hope this helps.
Very Happy

Oh great, that means I still suck at Akina, I still get 3.01 for Akina down although I get 2.25 at Akagi up. And yeah the VOLK gold rims do make the car driftier. I changed to the Watanabe black ones. Not sure what it does but it was the first rim offer to make the car less driftier and I took it. Any idea what it does?

Which is wierd....cos MR2 is Longer and MR-S is shorter and alot smaller so handling should be better...what is segarosso doing..... Evil or Very Mad

That day bought a MR-S by accident then went to play then found that the car drifts more than MR-2 i think both cars got its good n bad points

Impreza WRX SG

Argh no, top speed for MR-S is only 202 on Myogi!!. Can't seem to go higher.
Crying or Very sad
Anyone know MR-2's top speed?

[email protected] SG

actually MR-S can be quite hilarious to drive if u know how to drive it well.

Impreza WRX SG

Yeah it's nice to drive it. I especially like it in Akagi up. But a bit sad that the top speed is quite low compared to other cars.

AE86tofu SG

sure or nt? i dun think s leh? yr car full tuned liao? My full tuned hachi-go can go up to 203 in myogi...so MR-S definitely is faster lo

Impreza WRX SG

Yeah I'm sure. I'm now at 850k points and actually I can only reach 201. Only after about 15 -20 seconds later then it go up to 202 then must do the turn already. Even when I reach full tune how much higher can I go? At 500k also 201, now at 850k still 201. Crying or Very sad
