Conventional wisdom insists that Japan’s first mid-engined sports car was heavily designed by Lotus. However, conventional wisdom really isn’t always right.
Sure, it’s easy to see how the Toyota MR2 could be a clandestine Lotus project. Its mid-engined layout, relatively light weight, and capable MacPherson strut suspension made for an exceptionally good-handling car with more character than we had come …
AWESOME! Thanks for the encouraging info! I'm 98% done sorting my 87 AW11 T-Top..
Great stuff! Though should note there is a height requirement for these cars. I would love to own one (among many other small cars) but being 6'5" tall I could not even swing my legs in. Unsure if there is a way to remedy this but just something to note.
Hmmmm delicious. I absolutely adore my AW11 Rallycross car. Its now a part of my family. I recently did the hybrid 7age engine which takes the extremely common 7afe 1.8l bottom end and pairs it with the 4age head. This really beefs up the mid range, I sourced a full running 7afe engine for $200.

That's beautiful.
The worst idea/concept I've ever had is to swap a 13B into an AW11
